Bunker Up Fishing, the sandblaster bait cannon maker, has been sold to a new company. I have contacted the new owners and they tell me that they plan to stock the sandblaster cannons soon but at this time they are out of stock. That has been a couple of months now, so I’m not holding my breath. As an alternative, check out fishingbaitlaunchers.com they make several similar products and should be able to help you out. I haven’t tried their cannons, so I recommend contacting them first via their website’s contact page.
I don’t guide, but I know a couple of surf fishing guides here that do a great job. Jeff Wolda of Padre Island Light Tackle Adventures (https://pi-adventures.com/) is awesome and specializes in fishing the surf for speckled trout and redfish, phone: 361-215-8400.
Eric Ozolins of Ocean Epics (https://www.oceanepics.com/) would be my choice if you are interested in catching big sharks from the beach. Eric knows his stuff and can put you on some giants. Phone: 361-877-3583.
I will most likely be out of town for Thanksgiving, but if not, I would be glad to meet you and go surf fishing with you.
Hey Sir, I saw your YouTube video on elk hunting GMU 78 this year and myself and a buddy are going to elk hunt that GMU next year. We will be doing walk in only area and was wondering if I could get some info from you since you’ve done it before.
When fishing at the beach where is the best fishing spot to catch fish at like reds and strippers and pompano because I never caught any fish like that and sheepshead and from the fishing pier if from Houston tx we fish the Gulf
From Houston you could check out Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula, or the far west end of Galveston Island at San Luis Pass. Also the beach accross the pass bridge all the way to Surfside has some good surf fishing. If you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, Matagorda Beach is great this time of year for reds and lots of small to medium sharks.
I saw several of your FB posts regarding overhead aerial scouting of beaches. How does one get access to current pics of a specific beach, like Orange Beach and Dauphin Island in Alabama?
Google Earth (google.earth.com) is a good starting point, and if you’re lucky, it may be a recent image. However, it could also be a couple of years old. For more recent images, USGS Earth Explorer (earthexplorer.usgs.gov) is good; you can get images that are only a few days old. NASA Worldview (worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov) also has recent satellite images, but I haven’t been able to zoom in as close as Google Earth or USGS Earth Explorer. Another good source is Copernicus Browser: browser.dataspacecopernicus.eu
All of these are free to use as well. Try’em out and let me know how it goes.
Hi Rex. I am about to share your social media postings with my son. He is a content creator, videographer, photographer. He too has a strong focus on outdoor recreation. He has been on contract with brands including Huk, Nautical Network and several high end brands of Golfing equipment and apparel.
Fishing is his passion. He currently lives in South Florida. His name is Evan Naquin. Would you be willing to share the name of
the person or company creating this content for you? Evan is very big on networking and I am sure that he would at least want to follow his/her work online.
Sorry so long but I have to get 1 silly comment in. Your model distracts the heck out of me. She is gorgeous. Then you add a nice fish or bent rod and we think.. Oh Yeah! Fishes Too! I leave your website thanking God for all of the wonderful things my wife is and does. 😂 trying to the Cathic guilt for staring that pompano for so long.
Keep up the good work! Do you have a YouTube channel?
Sounds like Evan is way ahead of me. I belong to a SKool Community called Simplifaceless. There, I learned how to promote on Social Media and use some of the new AI tools to produce content.So, I do my own content creations, and add some AI-produced content as well. If anything, I could probably learn from Evan. I do have a YouTube: ManArtCreations
As far as the models go, it’s all about attention. You have to get people to stop scrolling and attractive females seem to work the best for that. 😉
Thanks for the kind words, and if I can ever be of assistance, just reach out.
Good morning. Where can I buy a Sandblaster Bait Caster Cannon or a similar .? Do you have some suggestions? Thank you

Hi Rex, I was hoping to order the bunker up 6 pack of bait casting molds for cannon. Any idea where they are available? Thanks

Hi Laurie,
Bunker up fishing was bought out, and they are not making bait cannons or molds at this time. There is another company making molds for bait cannons: https://baitcannonslugs.com/ You can also check them out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Bait-Cannon-Slugs-103794435452046/ They should be able to fix you up.

Hello Rex
I’m down in Rockport this Thanksgiving and wanting to learn surf fishing. Do you guide by chance?
Thank you
