Surface water temperature 62 degrees. Super low tides were on tap again this past week. The water clarity is average for East Galveston Bay, with better clarity in the marsh areas that have been protected from the wind. The past few days in honor of Valentine’s Day, we have thrown the Salt Strong F.R.E.D. The Jerk (in Pink) and it has allowed us to really catch Trout. As the water heats up during the day, some of the fish are moving out to mud flats to feed, so keep that in mind as well.
The redfish bite was good for us this week, around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to trigger bites, as well as weightless Deadly Dudley Rat Tails, and WacAttack Flukes. Remember, time of year brings some of the best opportunities for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, and bigger fish on the prowl, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends.
The Corky bite also is in full swing, as well as suspending hard jerk baits, so if you like throwing artificials these are great bait to throw, as well as walking topwater baits, as well as slow falling jerk baits, when the conditions are lining up correctly.
