I'm down from Maryland for work this week and have been driving down to West Bay from Houston area. Your forum has been helpful for a first tie visitor to get some guidance as to the area and where to start. Sunday evening I hit West Bay shoreline behind some homes in Surf Side Beach. Really enjoyed my first outing and was lucky enough to bring in 3 Reds, largest one coming in at 18". A Cordell shallow running fingerling was my successful lure, in pearl color. I finished the night throwing top water against the shoreline, but was no lookers. They seemed to be fixed on chasing bait.
Tonight I tried the dead end at Sportsman Rd that I read about. Fishing here was slow until just before dark. I threw all types of lures and spoons and finally hooked up on a tiger gulp shrimp jigged on an 1/8" head. Picked up two small reds at dark to prevent a skunk. I missed two on a gold Johnson Spoon earlier.
Not sure where I am headed for Tuesday evening, need to do some research. I'm determined to hook up on a gulf speckled trout before heading back to Maryland. Any suggestions of where to try next. These popper corks, is this something worth trying out?
