Capt Scooby. I’m ready for next year!!

One of the best parts of Texas Brigades is seeing cadets, Assistant School Leaders, and instructors continue giving back long after camp has ended.

At the Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza, members of the Coastal Brigade family volunteered at the Texas Brigades booth, sharing their experiences and introducing new families to the opportunities that Texas Brigades provides. Their passion for conservation and leadership is helping inspire the next generation to get involved.

Texas Brigades is built on a community of volunteers and mentors who believe in investing in young people. It’s inspiring to see the lessons learned at Coastal Brigade continue long after graduation, as participants return to support the program that helped shape them.

Capt Scooby. Hey Crew, here’s the latest update from the Mudfish Rod Shop in Hemphill, Texas. Following the Big Splash Bass tournament this week, several anglers visited us for repairs on their Bass rods. Notably, we addressed issues including a broken tip section on a spinning rod, replaced 12 eyes on 4 bass rods, and performed necessary maintenance on an old sentimental bass rod. Our team provided meticulous care, including chemical cleaning, to ensure each rod is ready to land that trophy fish. What can the Mudfish Rod Shop do for you?

Wager hand-tied jigs, with Black/Chartreuse and Pink/Black proving effective. Get out there ASAP..!!
