First weekend in August flatfish seeker! - 07/18/17 10:46 PM
Hi All. I will be making my first trip to the Texas coast for some inshore fishing in a few weeks. I am originally from NC and have fished for flounder, reds, and trout all my life. After doing my research it seems the type of fishing here is a little different. I will be staying off shark lane in surfside. I will have my yak and am looking for someone to point me in the right direction as to what to do to catch some flatfish. It looks like root beer colored baits are good in the area. Do you all catch mullet and use them on Carolina rigs? Or Menhaden? Also it looks like the area is pretty shallow. Should I be targeting docks or what? Any help would be appreciated. I'm. It a novice at all but I do know that different areas of the country fish totally different even if it is the same species.
