Surface water temperature is 72 degrees. We have started out fishing shoreline shell beds for Trout and Redfish before daylight. We have been using light colored paddle tails with 1/8 oz heads or rigged weedless depending upon where the fish are positioning themselves, as well as under a popping cork with a 12” leader.
The topwater bite has picked up for us, as well as the suspending jerkbait bite, so if you like those techniques, now is the time to get on the water and make it happen.
We have had success fishing rocks in the intracoastal, as well as grass lines with drains, and windblown points when the conditions line up. We have also had some good days catching specks and sand trout on open water reefs, however the wind has kept us off of late.
We have also found a some slot and Bull Reds pushing shrimp down the grasslines, when we have high tides and good tidal movement.
The crowds have thinned and the weather is getting right, so now is the time to book your fall and winter trips and get out and enjoy all the upper Texas Coast has to offer.
