baffin bay

can someone tell me whats the best time of year to fish for reds and trout on baffin bay never been there before and thinking of trying it instead of rockport area this year any help would be great and opinions thanks ...john

Baffin can be good year round, but there's a bunch of submerged rocks down there, and you have to be careful. Maybe hire a guide since you never been down there before.

no boat just pier and bank and wade fishing.

There's very little access to Baffin except by boat. The whole area is surrounded by the King Ranch.

yea we are thinking of renting a house on baffin bay it has a pier and a pool just really wondering how the fishin is down there? been to rockport a bunch of times but a lil expensive compared to what we found in baffin but i know rockport has good fishin just wondering about baffin bay dont want to waste a vacation if the fishin aint no good!

I would highly recommend not boating this bay with a top notch gps/depthfinder and knowledge. Because of the large submerged rock and difficult of navigation is why guides are slightly higher. The best time for trophy trout will be jan/feb. I just got back from Rockport and had great luck in 3-3.5' water on a mirrolute mirromullet 4" for trout and redfish in the backside of mud island and San Jose.

baffin is great fishing... almost year around. Fishing off a pier will limit the 'greatness" of it though. the best wade fishing spots I know of are only accessable by a boat though.
