Surface water temperature is 86 degrees. The water clarity stained East of Stingaree, with better looking water towards the west. Once again, early am this week we shifted our focus towards trout on the flats over shell, and after the sun came up we ventured out to Open Water Reefs when the wind cooperated & water conditions lined up.
Active bait in the area is important, so if you don’t see bait or signs of life, don’t spend a whole lot of time in the area. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures and tails under popping corks, with a 1 -2 foot leader to trigger bites, as well as Deadly Dudley Rat Tails, and WacAttack Flukes with 1/8 oz heads.
For Redfish have been having our best luck in and around grass lines in a foot to 24″ of water, with indentations / drains /points being the most productive areas, in the back lakes using Fishbites paddle tails.
Now is a great time to schedule your Fall/Winter fishing trips and get out enjoy all the upper Texas Coast has to offer.
