The weekend forecast looks good for fishing, as light winds are predicted and even better, they are blowing from a southerly direction. During these windows of fair weather, nice catches of trout and other fish have taken place.
Upper West Bay has turned on when the water levels are good and the winds light; however, we still are dealing with cold water.
Trout anglers should again find
specks hitting in the vicinity of Confederate Reef, Greens Cut and
around both Carancahua Lake and Carancahua Cove. While both areas carry
the same name, they are actually across West Bay from each other.
The jetties should continue where
they left off on Tuesday and Wednesday with good action on sheepshead
and black drum. Reds have been plentiful around the rocks as well.
More and more large black drum
should be showing up as the peak of the drum run usually takes place
near St. Patrick’s Day on March 17.
Earlier this week lots of
sheepshead were being caught around the jetties and with the action
likely to continue this weekend, I want to remind everyone that there is
a 15-inch minimum size for sheepshead and a bag limit of five per day.
The beach front rock groins and
fishing piers should offer some excellent fishing for not only drum and
sheepshead but whiting as well. Recently there have been reported
numerous stingrays caught in the surf.
Fred Dexter sent a note asking if
this weekend would be a good time to go after one of the wall-hanger
trout we have mentioned so often and my guess is that it possibly will.
It is interesting that the Texas State Record Speckled Trout was caught
on May 23, 2002 in the Laguna Madre.
