Report
Fishing the last few days have been fair at best. Westerly winds have really roughed up the lower end of West Bay and made for some tough fishing conditions. Not a whole lot of places to seek wind protection from a west wind. My better most consistant bite has still been over shell pads. most of the fish are comming in about 3 to 4' of water on soft plastic Saltwater Assassins rigged on 1/8 ounce lead heads. We have been catching a few on assorted topwaters but not many. The choppy off-colored water has made for a weak topwater bite over shell pads. Slowly worked soft plastic baits are paying off with some solid Trout to 24". Tuesday we had 11 to 12 nice Trout and two upper slot Reds on a mix of plum Assassins and blue/chrome She Dogs. While on Wednesday we struggled with 8 or 9 Trout, all comming on Assassins. The San Luis Pass areas is holding alot of bait and things are right here. Once these winds back off the fishing will be on fire here. I made a run through some of my usual spots around the pass on Tuesday and the areas were loaded with bait, just the areas were very muddy to fish. Looking at the forecast the winds look like they will be sticking around through the weekend.
