Chocolate Bay and Bayou

[txkngfish]

Anyone know how the bayou and bay has been looking lately. Is the bayou still pretty fresh? Has the wind been churning the bay up lately. Working on my plan of attack for this weekend LOL. Tight lines and happy fishing

[Muddskipper]

Last weekend I would have sugested to start at the 2004 bridge, due to the fresh water

With the wind and tides I expect the bayou to improve, but his week will tell us a bunch

If the wind stays out of the SE to east we are good ..... but any wind with south will make the water clarity tough ....

Drift fishing has been best for trout ... and reds and flounder are on the shorlines

NOTE: if you get into a bite of small reds move .... as there are 3 schools of redfish in Chocolate- (16-18"), (19-21"), (above 21")
We spent 2 hours and two qrts of shrimp on a school of the small ones and did not keep a one...too small
It was fun caching them on every cast, but for a tournament, you don't want to waste your time

Water clarity is better the further you go out in the bay. As far as the salt it seems to be fine caught trout from the bridge to alligator head yesterday.

This weekend will probably be tough with all of the wind, but the fish are there it is just a matter of finding them.

Just follow Muddskipper around...

LOL! Excellent advice!

Learned something new. Didnt know that about reds. I usually kept fishing in a spot hoping big brother would show up. Have yet to find or see schools of large redfish. I only find a keeper here or there as i hit spot just right. Then move on thinking that was the only one there. Have a lot to learn about reds i see. Trout no problem catching. Could always put a gps locator on his boat and keep track of him that way lol
