Well, I am new to this site and I am hoping to make some contacts in regard to yak fishing. I have a 15' OceanK & I fish fresh & salt. Tomorrow I leave for Rockport to fish for several days then onto Brownsville for turkey w/family.I am hoping to slip off & fish SP Island area.
In Rockport I usually fish the Hog Island area. Does anyone have any up to date (or not so up to date) info. about fishing these area. I use artificals & live bait.
Thanks

You mite wanna check the red tide reports for that area.

November 15, 2011

San Antonio Bay: TPWD Coastal Fisheries staff found visibly discolored water and noticeable aerosols in Hynes Bay and upper San Antonio Bay on Monday. Seagulls and pelicans were feeding on dead and dying fish.

Aransas Bay: DSHS collected water samples from around the bay and report that large areas of the bay have visible signs of red tide, including dead fish scattered throughout the bay. High cell concentrations were found at Half Moon Reef, Long Reef, San Jose Island, in the middle of the bay. Relatively low concentrations were found at Cove Harbor, ICWW marker 49, the Copano Bay Causeway and in Copano Bay at Lap Reef. Heavy blooms are occurring in Rockport and Fulton Harbors. On Wednesday, TPWD will assess a fish kill occurring from Long Reef north to Spalding Reef.

Mustang Island State Park reports intermittent aerosols yesterday with the changing winds. No new fish kills are occurring along the park's boundaries.

South Padre Island: The Red Tide Rangers at the University of Texas Coastal Studies Lab report moderate cell counts and aerosols today at Isla Blanca Park

Tks I will check on the red tide and yes we should spend more time on God's beautiful waters!!

That does not sound promising ... but I am loaded & already have made arrangements ... so I will be kayaking & fishing but I may not be catching!!! Thanks!

Tks for the link. That really says it all!!

happy to have helped. You could always go fish on the other side of copono. Should be a lot less over there. I would think.
