Going To Clarks at Port Oconner--21-23--First time in my on boat any help would be appreciated. 18 ft blue wave-not going out of the bay.-----------mike

Mike the best thing to do is saturday when you get there leave a little after daylight and go drive around the bay and watch where other people are fishing and also cruise the protected shorelines during windy conditions and watch for bait see bait theres fish i promise. the glass minnows are in fool swing try small lures till about april

POC rocks by the way ill be down there the 15th through the 17th rock on

The wind will dictate where to go. If you need to stay protected, go through the cut across from Clark's. Try to follow someone so you stay in the channel. It can get narrow in places. Try to fish at the end of high tide and position where you can fish the flow coming off the flats. You should get some reds that way. Trout can be found in the back bay around Bill Day's Reef or the islands south of there. The channel which leads past Bayucos Island to Saluria Bayou is usually a good place to fish for black drum. Anchor out by the old coast gaurd station and ambush whatever is running the tide. Good luck.

thanks guys i forgot to ask lures --live bait--thanka again--mike

Get live shrimp from the bait stand next to Clark's for red drum and specks. Get some frozen spanish sardines for cut bait for black drum at Speedy Stop in the morning when you get coffee and breakfast tacos. Make sure you eat before you open the spanish sardines. If you can make it out to the big jetty, get some frozen ribbon fish, carolina rig a 3 hook king rig and fish the ribbons on the bottom for big reds. And don't forget to go to Kathy's on Friday for all you can eat fried shrimp and oysters. Good luck.

SHHHHH fireIt... your giving away all the secrets! lol

Heck, with the price of fuel I don't know if I can ever go back to POC!!!

Thanks again--If you see an old man & old womman in a new 18ft blue wave lost thats me ---catch some fish---mike--21st 22nd

Where is the best place to get frozen ribbon fish?
