I got there Saturday afternoon and started fishing right away. There were boats everywhere because there was a tournament going on. Fished around Saluria Bayou next to a drop off. All fish were right on the edge of the flats holding in the 3ft range. No keepers were caught but caught tons of specs and reds just under the slot limit. All were caught on shrimp under a popping cork. Also tried the wells with no luck.
Sunday, I started off with topwater. Had a few swirls on it but no takers. Fished the dropoffs again, the same as Saturday, but still no keepers. I then made a run to the jetties and the bite was on. Next to the jetties, there were nice sized sheepshead and even pompano. Out deeper, the sharks were everywhere. Caught sharks ranging from 10 inches up to 5 feet long, all caught on mullet. My last stop was the surf. I anchored at the 2nd sandbar and fished the first and third guts. The trout were in there thick, easily catching my limit.I didn't have time to fish the pass but I will try it next time.

Thanks for the great report!

Thanks a lot, in the surf how far were you from that old shrimp boat?

To tell the truth, that was the first time I have ever fished the surf. I just decided to try it and it payed off. I was only about 50 yards from the jetties, but there were fish swirling and birds diving all around me.

did you use shrimp under popping cork for those trout. i know right where you are talking about, had some luck there last year. was it preety rough? last year i got sick as hell while fishing there!!! appreciate the info.

In the surf, all I used was live shrimp under a popping cork. Even the sharks were caught with shrimp, which I thought was weird. The surf was completely smooth. The only issue was the heat. Be sure to take plenty of water with you.

appreciate the info. we'll try and give em hell this week.

Hey Fisherkid...which jetties are you talking about...the little jetties or the big jetties...I usually fish the back bays but am gonna try the surf in a coupla weeks but really don't know where to start...thanks

Sorry I haven't replied. I was on vacation at the Grand Canyon for two weeks. I have never fished the little jetties. If it is calm enough, I always will fish the big jetties. I have heard mixed things about the little jetties, but all good reports from the big ones.

fisherkid, is this nathan from fish camp if so this is Tyler just registered so aaaa see ya

Any new reports from this area? I'm going tomorrow morning. I hope to fish the jettis if its not too rough. The wind has died down some here so I hope it has there too.
