Anyone know the water level of the Nueces River? Any word on any fish being caught?

Gonna head out on a scouting mission tomorrow. First gonna try 99, move over to thw airport ramp then close it off at the 59 ramp. Hope they are moving upriver. I think its a little early but i wont know till i try

Well i prepped all my gear lastnight and planned on heading out this morning. Looked at the weather when i woke up and went back to bed. Sorry i didnt gather any intel today guys

They are there already.. Limits coming out.. North of the air port launch is really shallow, but holding the most fish... But again, must have flat bottom.. South of the 59 bridge, it's a long haul to get too the good numbers of fish.. But good stringers coming from there too..

Thanks for the information Southtxangler22. How far down from 59 bridge do you have to go to find them?

Do you know if they are using minnows or artificials?

Mostly artificial, and pretty much any artificial... From the bridge going south it can be as far as 6-8 miles.. You'll pick some up after about a mile or so.. But to really get some numbers you really gotta get down there.. North of the air port there's good numbers.. But hard to get too without a shallow running boat.

I dont know if I will be able to get on the river this year. Hope everyone has fun catching those whites

Saw on the 210 Facebook page that they are already catching good numbers. They mentioned the 59, 99, and airport ramps but I have never been down there so I don't really know what they are talking about.

Thanks for all of the info guys. Planning on hitting the river Sat or Sun as long as the weather holds up.

Cbag1, airport ramp is approx 2 miles north of george west on hwy 281. 59 bridge is approx 3 miles east of george west on hwy 59. 99 bridge is on hwy 99 west of hwy 37 (whitsett area). Heading to 59 this weekend with boat then will try airport with canoe in next few weeks.

Does 99 have enough water

@tbud, most of the fish caught now are coming a couple miles north of the airport launch... If you launch a boat at 59 go down river at least 3 miles.. But all the way down to an old bridge was a good spot. Just takes awhile to get there.

Ton of people out there today. I went downriver about 7 miles from 59 where the water wasn't as muddy. Did OK, nothing special.

Caught around 20 this morning, slow morning, but the afternoon bite was on.. Cold front kind of shut them down.. Trolling rattle traps to find them, then casting all over where we got hits!
