Report
Fishing the last few
days have been fair at
best. Westerly winds
have really roughed up
the lower end of West
Bay and made for some
tough fishing
conditions. Not a whole
lot of places to seek
wind protection from a
west wind. My better
most consistant bite has
still been over shell
pads. most of the fish
are comming in about 3
to 4' of water on soft
plastic Saltwater
Assassins rigged on 1/8
ounce lead heads. We
have been catching a few
on assorted topwaters
but not many. The choppy
off-colored water has
made for a weak topwater
bite over shell pads.
Slowly worked soft
plastic baits are paying
off with some solid
Trout to 24". Tuesday we
had 11 to 12 nice Trout
and two upper slot Reds
on a mix of plum
Assassins and
blue/chrome She Dogs.
While on Wednesday we
struggled with 8 or 9
Trout, all comming on
Assassins. The San Luis
Pass areas is holding
alot of bait and things
are right here. Once
these winds back off the
fishing will be on fire
here. I made a run
through some of my usual
spots around the pass on
Tuesday and the areas
were loaded with bait,
just the areas were very
muddy to fish. Looking
at the forecast the
winds look like they
will be sticking around
through the weekend.
The spring time bite is
here! To book your trip
