Well to keep with the current trend, we had a strong cold front arrive, bringing strong North winds, and dipping water temperatures into the upper 40’s. By Saturday, the wind had switched back out of the East and as the day progressed, moved out of the South at 10 to 15mph. The morning air temperature started out at 41 degrees and was in the low 60’s around lunch time. The water was heavily stained in East Bay, and the wind did help keep the mosquito activity down a little less than what we have been encountering lately, but still need to spray yourself down with my recommended choice of Marshland Inspect Repellent, made here in the great state of Texas. Fished several areas, on an outgoing tide, where catching has been good of late, but found very few bites till late morning. As the day developed, the water began to heat up, bites increased, but the fish were very spread out. Most bites came on a ¼ oz jig head and plum/chartreuse tails, fished very slowly, as the fish were positioned in the deeper channels and bites were very light.
If the current trend continues, about 2 to 3 days after the front passes, the fishing normally peaks, so hit me up if you want to get on the water and do some fishing.

We had a fantastic trip with Scott as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable of the water we fished and he put us on some nice fish, then fileted our catch for us to have cooked at a local restaurant. We'll definitely be repeat customers and recommend Scott to family and friends!

Scott was a great captain and an amazing person. He called before we ever met and put me at ease. Day of trip we had to reschedule due to weather and he was super accommodating. Took us to a great spot and got on some big fish! I would recommend this guy to my own daughter and trust he would get her home safe. 10/10 👍

Scott was incredible. We had 3 kids on board and he was very patient and enthusiastic the entire trip. He put us on the fish quickly and we stayed on them. We were catching fish until we had to head back in. I would highly recommend beating the heat with a 6am start time, and would definitely recommend the 6 hour trip to give yourselves the most time on the water and better flexibility for traveling to different spots. If you’re surfing the web and wondering what guide you should go with, then look no further. We will certainly be booking with Scott again.
