Lower Laguna Madre fishing has been very consistent let's get it done early in the morning. Lots of top water action and throwing soft Plastics early catching speckled trout redfish and Flounder occasional Snook. Mid-morning to afternoon once the wind picks up popping court with live shrimp or finger mullet is a for sure thing.

It's not fast and furious but boy is it consistent try to get in by about 10:30 before the sun really starts cranking and gets hot

The bay fishing has been tougher lately, but we are still catching some solid fish. This super hot weather has pushed most of the fish into deeper waters. Catching some heavy speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Working the deepest water I can find with heavy rigs and slow-moving baits. Catching a few redfish out on the grass flats once the wind starts to pick up. Expect the bite to get better throughout the next couple of weeks.

★★★★★
Went out on a 5 hour bay fishing trip on a weather perfect morning. Nathan put on some nice trout & reds on north side of bridge. When we went to south side of bridge toward SpaceX we had a few bites, but spent too much time anchoring up, so we didn’t catch much. Nathan was a great , knowledgeable Captain & boat was perfect for trip
