Bending The Boards

Castaway Lodge Seadrift Report
By Capt. Kris Kelley

Sponsored by: MercuryMarine; Air Ranger Airboats; Haynie Bay Boats; Baysport Marine Victoria; Castaway Rods; JL Marine; Pure Fishing; Corrosion X; and, Bob's MachineShop.

Extreme low tides began to creep into the playbook here lately.  Bayboats found themselves held off fish concentrations that had held in extreme shallows as water levels receeded.  It can be tough when you find the fish but you just can't shut down on them because it's too shallow.  It's the old "white knuckle routine" knowing you can get to them but you may not be able to leave and that's where we've been lately.  Big roaring winds typical of April/May have also been prevelent but we love the wind!  Water levels have bounced back and that opened things up a bit from wade fishing to airboat redfishing. We got to do a little wade fishing with guests from Houston and a combination of soft plastics and live Croaker managed to put some nice Trout and solid Redfish on the stringers.  The boys were down for a bachelor party trip and got a late start but everyone had a great time.  

We'll be looking for more high winds heading into May unless the May transition is already upon us here in April which is what I'm guessing.  That may bring some stability to May and open up broader bay venues with rising water temperatures and fish working area shell reefs.  We're getting some rain today and rivers look to be elevated already with mild freshwater inflows.  I'm thinking with all the rain in the San Antonio area we're probably getting ready to get blasted and that's a good thing.
