Just got back from Surfside. There was sign of red tide a week before we arived. It was getting better and I did see good fish caught in intercoastal waterway.

stole these:
PINS ( Padre Island National Seashore )

Apparently some areas are worse than others.




Hope it doesnt last long...




Fish are still being caught. It's that time of yr.

Last weeks Red TIDE WARNING (Port Aransas) in the news <-Link

Thanks very much for posting this Zombie, I got a kid <Lovethepanfish> who is getting really nervous about our next run to Port A

from what i understand its affecting Texas from the upper to lower coast. Not as bad as some other yrs but still prevalent.
Fishing has still been moderate to good. Some areas are obviously worse than others. Here is a resent report from seapro todd:

Id say go but, dont fish the bays.

Just got back from 4 days at the coast. Yes, there is red tide and it is affecting some of the areas. East and west Matty are OK and the bay fishing is good. I was surprised to find it in St. Charles bay near the mouth. Not visible, but there was a lot of dead and dying bait type fish and I would be hacking and sneezing on the water. The bite there was horrible,only 1 red out of 5 of us over (2) 4-5 hour trips...nothing would even touch fresh cut mullet! AP area was good ,as was Port Bay. I suspect St Charles got it with the high tide and prevailing wind from Aransas bay which has several feeders from the gulf. The back bay (Cavasso) is OK and the fishing there is good

any updates on PINS? at this time im still plan on heading out first weekend in November. but if its that bad i may have to change plans and find another beach. im taking my brothers surf fishing they have never done it and are completely pumped up about the trip. i just hope red tide fades out soon and we at least have a chance at some fish. ive checked the TXPW website and see brief updates. no word if its fading in any particular areas. any info would be great. thanks

if you have 4x4, pins should be a nice place to take your bros. plenty of beach to wet a hook. please let us know how you do. trash and some others are still catching and reporting:

Trash & some snappers

I didn't see any dead fish at HI where I launched except some hardheads that had been tossed in a pile on the beach by somebody catching them the night before.
