Fishing behind hurricane Harvey for the past few weeks has been a bit challenging between the freshwater run-off and the silt stirred up in the bays. We've had some good tide flushes recently and the seagrass has started to filter the silt leaving us with enough clear water to fish effectively.
With the shorter days and cooler temperatures we've started to see more active baitfish over the grass flats. The redfish have been fairly scattered since the storm, but I'm finding a few good schools tailing in a foot of water. Sight casting to shallow reds should get better every day from now through the end of November.
The beachfront should be going off any day with mature redfish schooling around the passes to spawn. There are still king mackerel, cobia, tripletail, jacks and tarpon h View more...Fishing behind hurricane Harvey for the past few weeks has been a bit challenging between the freshwater run-off and the silt stirred up in the bays.

The beachfront should be going off any day with mature redfish schooling around the passes to spawn. There are still king mackerel, cobia, tripletail, jacks and tarpon holding nearshore and along the beach. They should stick around through the end of October or until we get a serious cold front. The tarpon and jacks will be terrorizing the mullet as the baitfish migration begins.
I have plenty of openings available.
