Billie Kocian and I left Aransas Pass to find some Redfish and Trout. We fished with soft plastics from Mister Twister. We worked the flats drift fishing and covering water. This proved to be a solid day on the water.
We caught nice trout and some really great Redfish as well. The wind was strong in the morning and it tapered off in the late afternoon as the Northern Blew in. The plan was to make parallel drifts across the flats of Steadmans and Dagger. Both produced fish of caliber but the schools of Redfish were predominately inside Dagger. Billie has a Haney Bay Boat---A Cat Boat that will run skinny. We worked from the raised aluminum decks that enabled us to really find the fish and sight case some of them along our drift path. We shot it all on HD and Cesario Garcia was our main cameraman.
Anglers Note---
When fishing in front of a front, the fish can really be active. We looked at Underground Weather and looked for the hour-by hour-forecast. It showed that the northern would blow in sometime on Saturday evening. Fishing just ahead of a Northern can be rock solid. The fishing was excellent until the glassy water showed up. What I mean by that is the wind died down and ultimately stopped blowing out of the predominant direction of the South-West. The winds are generally always out of the South-West in this part of the Texas coastline. Once they stopped blowing and went lull, we experienced a shift to the winds out of the North. When that happened, the bite was off like a light switch. If you can plan you fishing around pre-front fishing, you will catch more fish. Knowledge is power on the water.
Contact Captain Billie Kocian at 1-361-688-8859 and she can put you on fish too.
Thanks for your time today and I’ll see you on the water !!
