We've had a lower than normal tide since the full moon, the shallows have had lots of tailing pods. Deeper water areas, the fish seem to be in bigger schools. Which makes for long stretches without singles, unless you find the pods. Lots of small shrimp in the grass flats.

The bite stayed strong despite the summer heat. Early mornings have been producing solid trout along the grass lines and deeper potholes, while the drum bite has remained consistent around structure and scattered shell.
We've been finding fish by staying mobile and covering water until we locate active schools. The trout are feeding early, and the drum have been keeping rods bent throughout the day. Live bait and artificials have both been producing depending on conditions.
With summer in full swing, the fish are here and the action is heating up.

Conditions have been firing on all cylinders this week from the Coastal Bend down through Baffin. High tides have been pushing fish up into some great spots and the summer bite is officially on.
REDFISH — Reds are showing well on the flats and have been especially active from Pita Island down through the Emmords area. Look for them tailing on the shallow grass edges early morning. Cut skipjack has been the go-to, and weedless soft plastics are producing along the shoreline pockets as well. Schools are starting to tighten up — when you find one fish you're finding 20....

Conditions have been firing on all cylinders this week from the Coastal Bend down through Baffin. High tides have been pushing fish up into some great spots and the summer bite is officially on.
REDFISH — Reds are showing well on the flats and have been especially active from Pita Island down through the Emmords area. Look for them tailing on the shallow grass edges early morning. Cut skipjack has been the go-to, and weedless soft plastics are producing along the shoreline pockets as well. Schools are starting to tighten up — when you find one fish you're finding 20.
SPECKLED TROUT — Keeper trout have been stacking up on the grassline drops from Pita all the way down to Emmords. The key is working those transition zones where the grass meets the sand. Live croaker is absolutely the bait of choice right now — rods are staying bent. For artificial, Mirrolure Softdines in green hues and Gulp in the 5-inch size have been producing. Work them slow on the drop.
BAFFIN BAY — Trophy trout continue to haunt the shorelines and sand strip areas deep in Baffin. Work Corky-style baits in darker colors early, switching to lighter colors as the sun gets up. Find the bait, find the fish — birds will tell you everything you need to know.
BOTTOM LINE — June is one of the best times to be on the water in the Coastal Bend. Book your dates now before the summer fills up.
3 of us joined Kevin on an 8 hour bay fishing trip and had a fantastic time, Kevin was knowledgeable, helpful and able to get us on some great fish. Will definitely be using him in the future and would recommend him as well!
