Try the surf if not too rough.

There are many wade fishing spots listed, but it is true that most require a kayak or boat to reach. However, there is Stedman Island flats next to the bait shop at Morris & Cummins cut, and there is Brown & Root flats, that I just waded a few weeks ago. Both can be accessed by parking just off the main road. There are a number of places to park along the causeway between Aransas Pass and the ferry landing that you can wade and have success fishing for trout, reds and flounder.

do you need to worry about the flesh eating bacteria in the bay right now??.....I just don't want to make a fun trip turn into something bad! thanks

If you are worried about the flesh eating bacteria, you probably do not want to go wading with an open sore or if you have a compromised immune system. Even then, the odds are against getting the infection. You have probably as much chance of getting struck by lightning. Think of all the people who go swimming in the gulf and never have a problem. I would be more worried about sting rays right now, so if you do wade, shuffle your feet as much as possible along the bottom, and be prepared to struggle in some ankle or higher deep mud in some areas of the flats.

10-4 sounds good I was thinking that but just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks again for all the help will post back on any fish catches we get!
