Corpus Christi

GOOD. 61 degrees. Changing weather has slowed the bite with the water going from stained due to high winds to clear with the winds are light. Redfish and black drum can be caught with dead shrimp. Some undersized sheepshead are starting to show up in Port Aransas around the Fina docks and jetties. Report by Captain Aerich Oliver, Rockport Paradise Outfitters.

Baffin Bay

SLOW. 53 degrees. High winds and extremely low water levels this week. Water temperature has warmed up, water levels have dropped and baitfish activity has increased. Fishing up real shallow water with these low water levels in warmer water has been productive. Knee to mid thigh deep, along guts, drop-offs, scattered sand pockets and grass beds are structures that typically hold the most slots to oversized fish. Lures of choice have been darker hues for the off colored stained water that is here in Baffin. MirrOlure Little John XL in purple and Custom Corky’s in bright or dark hues as well. Throwing these baits in areas with signs such as bait swirls or bait jumping, pelicans diving, or slicks will surely lead to a successful wade. Stay confident and consistent in your routine and it will pay off! Stay safe out on the water, keep what you need and release the rest. As always, tight lines!
