3-year-old Luke Tanner came down from Houston with his Mom and Dad to fish with his Grandpa, Capt Bob Hill.

The weather has been pretty much normal for this time of year, hot, lighter winds and occasional showers. The Fourth os July holiday has come and gone and of course the fireworks were spectacular. So were the crowds. Sunday Beach was a popular destination as it always is. Mid-day has been tough with temps up near 100.

The last week was a full moon and the fishing responded as usual. Some days good, some days not so hot. Lots of trout are coming from San Antonio Bay reefs for croaker fishermen. I’ve had some pretty good days fishing for trout and reds in the ICW with shrimp. Waders are catching trout on artificials on the south shorelines from Greens to Panther.

I fished the lakes a few times with shrimp this week. The full moon didn’t help much but we brought out some trout and reds. The water levels have been pretty high so the lakes are easy to navigate.

The surf has been fishable a few days and most folks are catching nice trout on Croakers. Don’t forget, when its too rough to be safe out there, go do something else.

I’ve caught a little bit of everything at the jetties. This week we even caught some 18” Red Snapper. Reds are there along with Drum, Mangroves, Mackerel and a surprising number of Tarpon.
