All I keep hearing is the fresh water run off has the bays not fishing good. For the next month or two, I'll be kayaking and wading the bays/surf-fishing the coast and was hoping to get some tips on where the best water is. All info appreciated.
Thanks!

Best Water? Don't know if that matters, the Galveston Bays area has given up 3-4 9lb+ trout the last 10 days or so that we know of by non-guided fishermen, bet a good more have been caught during the same time. My choice on saltiest system would be ULM, Baffin, and LLM stretch, all which are on fire right now as well as are most of the Texas bays. All I keep hearing is the fresh water run off has the bays not fishing good. For the next month or two, I'll be kayaking and wading the bays/surf-fishing the coast and was hoping to get some tips on where the best water is. All info appreciated.

Lower Laguna at pt Mansfield is historically the saltiest as in 100x more than Galveston.

Yep My area for sure. Anywhere not around the arroyo. South bay being the most salt.

Actually all this rain has really "turned on" the fishing here in the coastal bend.
Bays are full of crabs and bait fish - including the back bays.
I have been seeing more crabs swim by me while I am wade fishing - in fact, the most since 1996 !
Cedar Bayou is open and we are getting sufficient rain to stock our back bay estuaries with plenty of water and mud for shrimp and bait fish.
That is a good recipe for improving the catching part of fishing.
This summer is producing, and this fall will produce, some of the best fishing we've had here in the Rockport Bay system in 19 years.
