We’ve learned more and more everyday on the water after the big water push associated with Hurricane Dolly. First day back on the water we had four boats fishing various groups with mixed results from limits of Redfish and a few Trout all the way down to Trout numbers in the single digits. Day 2 was better with double digit Trout numbers and improving but still gutted water conditions throughout much of the bay. Day 3 found double digit Trout numbers again with some groups approaching near limits. So, things are rebounding nicely after the blow and flood tide. It’s soft in places and timing can be everything right now. We’ve dumped a considerable amount of water and that’s good news.

Last report I mentioned that winds were backing down and my expectation was that fishing would explode as Mother Nature removes her protective blanket from the fish. That’s exactly what happened late week. Capt. James Cunningham managed near limits on Thursday with things improving rapidly in terms of water conditions. The Lodge welcomed Walt S. and guests from Brenham; Stuart L. and family from Houston; and, Navasota Energy group for a “team building” session. James and I both managed to limit out on Trout to 18”. Fish size was a little small and there were a ton of little Trout. That’s to be expected in the throws of a Full Moon with the tide dying around 8:00am. Capt. Jake Huddleston fishing the Stuart L. party had near limits as well working the same structure over shell in 4’ of water. Overall we managed 92 Trout out of a possible 100. Sunday, things improved slightly as Travi ...

Quick rebounding in Bay waters is evident when the wind backs down a little bit and the tide comes roaring in. Jockeying High and Low Pressure has kept the wind on us pretty good during the last week. Strong fishing has pushed us through what at times appears to be impenetrable conditions. Currently, we’ve got winds leaning out of the West and SW which has dropped water levels in the bay roughly 8” to a foot. Buried in water during the last Low Pressure system in from Mexico, the fish didn’t like it much and neither did I. I welcomed the water drop today and Trout limits corresponded for Archie S. party from Georgetown.

Fishing continues to be strong through the Tropical Depression and Low Pressure through the 4^th of July “big weekend”. We’ve been running and gunning pretty hard beating the weather and dodging rain. Right now, the game is best played early and aggressively.
