hit the bars,
find moving water,
throw that topwater early, heck - throw it all day!
get that spoon going when that sun shines

float some (insert bait of choice here) behind ya under a float for that random passerby.

Thing is... don't know unless you go. Watch the winds and don't get swamped. If you go to the flats make sure to wear that PFD, current can separate you and your plastic ship real quick.

I'm fired up for ya right now!!! man I love hearing about people planning trips and catching fish! TEAR IT UP OUT THERE!!!

i went today around 12 pm. I fished about .5 miles to the right of the lighthouse. I caught three large puffer fish and a large sting ray. I myself am new to the lighthouse and trying areas to fish for Redfish, trout and flounder.

We fished the lighthouse yesterday and only caught one 17" Sierra. Lots of jumping mullet and some schools of minnows, but the water was pretty murky. Didn't see anyone else catching anything early afternoon, last of incoming tide.

Someone mis-identified a Spanish as a cero in the Big Bend Saltwater Classic 20 years ago and there's still the perception that cero are found in local waters. :D

Slow for me as well yesterday out of the LH (and way too congested). Caught one 18-inch trout right off the bat that was full of roe and that was it. Water was clear in places to start but lots of sediment once the tide roared in.

Plan to resume weekday trips only or at dawn no matter what the tides are doing. Too many hitting JT and my holes otherwise.
