It seems that Mother Nature just doesn’t want to give up on winter. It hasn’t been all that cold but the wind just keeps blowing from the north. And rain! Its finally raining again, no complaints there. Of course the north wind means that the tides are low and getting to the fish is just that much more difficult. This is actually pretty much the norm for this time of the year but I don’t think I have to like it.
The lakes were getting good but I haven’t been able to get around back there lately. I know there are some real quality fish back there. About all you can do with this low water is fish the bay side of the drains and cuts coming out of the lakes or hike back in to the lakes and wade. Reds are pretty good on the shorelines of the bays. The tides will be back soon and you can expect a real improvement for trout fishermen. The San Antonio Bay reefs are still producing trout but most are small.
The jetties are full of reds and sheepshead, quite a few small drum are in the mix as well. Look for some big trout to show up out there soon.
