Surface water temperature 58 degrees. The water clarity is good for East Galveston Bay. We finally got a break from the wind and got to see the Sun, which has made for a great time to be out on the water. The majority of our action right now is on or close to the lower water column, (super slow) over deeper shell/mud with various size jig heads with Salt & Pepper WACky Fluke tails by Wac Attack, securing the most bites. Some of the bites are so subtle you really need to be paying attention and remember hook sets are FREE. Please watch the Major/Minor Fish Times, as again this past week, that has been when the bite really turned on for us, as well as when the water temps rise with the sun out. Remember the Fish still have to eat in the colder water, although not as often, so be very methodical in your presentation, and fish areas where you have confidence in. Active bait in the area is important, so if you don't see bait or signs of life, don't spend a whole lot of time in the area. As the water heats up during the day, some of the fish are moving out to mud flats to feed, so keep that in mind as well. The redfish bite has been consistent around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to trigger bites, as well as weightless Deadly Dudley Rat Tails. This time of year brings some of the best opportunities for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, and bigger fish on the prowl, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends. The Corky bite also is in full swing, so if you like throwing artificials that is a great bait to throw, as well as walking topwater baits, as well as slow failing jerk baits, when the conditions are lining up.
