The pattern continues with one cold front after another hitting the upper Texas Coast and disrupting fishing. Thursday’s strong northerly winds kept anglers off the water; however, there is some good news ahead.

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.
