TIPS ON SUMMERTIME

FISHING PATTERNS

with Capt. Dave Posey, USCG Licensed

FOR THE REEL FISHING CHARTERS

 

 

Greetings from Rockport, Texas - the best fishing on the Texas Gulf Coast!

Well it seems we've settled into our summer weather pattern...and yes that

 can mean very HOT temperatures here in the Texas Coastal Bend, but seems the hotter it gets, the more the redfish and trout bites turn on! 

 

My favorite time of day on the water is early in the morning, when the water is sometimes like glass and fish and bait are popping and splashing all around - the whole bay system seems very much alive and ready for the day!  And that's the best time of day to "git er done," fishing-wise that is.   Yep, I'm at my best in the early morning hours when my office - which is the bay in my case - seems renewed from the cooler overnight hours.  That sense of adventure begins as soon as we pull away from the dock and the fishing adventure doesn't stop until we've caught those much desired trophy specks and redfish!  

 

 There is one concern here lately though in that the trout bite has not been what it should be - at least numbers-wise. Most guides, Texas Parks and Wildlife folks as well as other bay/fishing entities are a little perplexed and are diligently trying to figure it out. It could be any number of things -process of elimination I suppose.  This means trips are heading further and further south for those really big trout catches - although I'm still doing pretty good here in my own backyard.  Lots of reds too!

 

 The last few days, the reds have been some real studs coming in at 32in.  They were really big shouldered fish and they had attitudes too!  The fish have been very aggressive lately with rod rattling strikes.  Gotta love that! Plus I'm seeing more menhaden now than in the past month which usually bodes well for the trout.  We have lots of piggies (piggy perch) and it is my favorite bait to use for trout.  I prefer the Piggy Perch when catching my trout as using Croaker is like feeding the deer and then standing 100 ft aways when you get the shot off, you know. 

It's just more fun to catch them with piggies in my book!

 

Of course summertime means heat - but it also marks the beginning of the great redfish season.  Redfish love hot weather along with the higher water temperatures.  According to reports I've heard on the news, this same weather pattern is going to hold for a while - hot and sunny.  There's really no trick to finding the reds here in our bay and I've even been finding the reds on or near shell and the trout near large grass beds. that's crazy I said, but darnit - it's true.  I used cut pin perch and mullet for the redfish and of course my favorite "piggies" for the trout.  If you like to catch your own bait using a casting net, there are some menhaden - which the trout will gobble up in a split second. As always spotting birds working the waterways, diving terns in particular have helped me locate fish lately and that's working out

pretty darn good - if I say so myself.


With the summer months come lots of tourists and a lot more boat traffic on the area bays.  So if you're going fishing, and need a qualified fishing captain to take you to the fish, please call me or any other USCG Licensed Fishing Guide.   Being able to share and be apart of the adventure and excitement of your day on the water is what is all about!

 

Load up the family and head on down for some good seafood, fishing and fun. Come get ya some!!
Have a Happy and Safe Weekend,
