Exude, man I would love to go wading. However, I'm benched 'til the end of March due to the situation that came up in Feb. Hopefully I'll be up and running by then. Am going in May when Minnesota comes down come hell or high saltwater .......Do me a favor if you go, go along hiway 35 towards the Copano Bay pier, an old bridge thats now a state fishing pier. Just before it to the right is a area of oyster reef that runs out from the bank into Aransas Bay. Would appreciate it if you can see if you can still get to the reef. It was exposed on top and extends a ways into the bay. There was access to that area between Fulton and the causeway. Been a few years, so things might have changed. Believe its called Live Oak reef. Also might look at Goose Island State Park across the bridge, got some good areas to wade by the pier. If you get a good amount of sun, might also look at Steadmans Flat, just south of 361 causeway from Aransas Pass to Port Aransas. You can get to it from behind Fin & Feather Marina, lots of gooey mud and a pain to wade but with some sun the trout could be up there. Works with a N,E,&S wind. Good luck, I'm pulling out hair up here not being able to go.

Too,
Here is an aerial photo of that area. It does not show the reef but I believe I can see it on my topspot. You are talking about the South side of the causeway correct? It looks like there is a reef running Northwest off the point that the bridge and pier come off of, the reef I see is on the Copano Bay side of the bridge. Is this the one? If this one is not it then I see one coming off of Live Oak point on the East side going into Aransas Bay after lookin at it and reading more I think the latter is the one you are talking about.

Be a little careful about using the Terra-Server Photos, I think the cut off for that WEB site was 1994, and things have changed considerably in the Rockport\Aransas area since then. They are OK for general reference.

The area you are looking at in this photo still looks similar to this east of the bridge, I have not paid much attention to the Copano side for a long time, a lot of that area is built up now with housing developments that limits driving access over what it was years ago.

Exude, I am interested in wadefishing this weekend if you are still looking for a fishing buddy. Normally I fish out of Palacios and Turtle bay, but i have done a little out of Rockport. I know of a couple spots accesible by car but nothing that is a big secret. Normally I go out with an uncle i have that fishes there all the time. If you would like to meet up just let me know. You can email me at jalmendarez1@austin.rr.com thanks.

One more thing. I need to get some equipment to make the trip. You see two weekends ago I knocked my whole rod and reel into the water when pulling up the anchor... I'm a dumb [censored]... but, we had fun. Exude let me know. I may need to work here in SA, spring break starts and I work on the River Walk.

Yall catch a bunch, makes no difference how much it's killing me. Don't matter if I go over the deep end this weekend or next. Help meeeeeeeee! Try Portland shoreline if the wind is out of the north, Oso bay has been really hot in the cold weather, but I would put my money on Steadmans if you get three or so days of sun and 70 degree temps. But it IS a booger to wade.

If you all need another hand or just looking for someone to pitch in I'll be glad to meet you all down there. I live in Austin and travel that way at least once a month. So going fishing with a couple of people who are not afraid of a little cool weather would be great. I've been meaning to get back in to fishing like I was last year about this time prior to being injured or put on the I.R.

Guys,
Unfortunately this weekend has been ripped away from me. It is my mom's birthday and it is the first birthday she has had since I have moved back to Texas. Everyone has made plans and they all include me. I don't really mind I guess but if tomorrow is anyhting like today I will be kicking myself all day long. We well have to set something up with a little more notice. Everyone that wants to go pick some dates I would like to do it in the next three weeks. So everyone put in their dates and we will start working on it.
Exude

As far as I can tell I can go any of the next 3 weekends for one day or the whole weekend
