As the hot weather settles in and reaches a peak, fishing patterns in the Upper Laguna, Baffin, and Corpus Christi Bay typically work best in places with deep water lying close to shallow water. During the heat of the summer, we do well fishing around rocks that lie close to the Intracoastal Waterway or deep basins. Places that meet this description include the rocks on the King Ranch Shoreline, those lying along the ICW in that same area, and places like Center Rocks, Marker 9 rocks, and the outer portions of E. Kleberg Rocks and Cathead. We also do well fishing the outer edges of the flats running off shorelines, close to the drop-off into deeper water. Usually, we do best throwing soft plastics, matching the jig-head size to the depth of the water and the conditions, meaning we use lighter heads when the water’s shallower and winds are lighter, heavier ones in deeper water, and stronger winds and currents. We still have good fishing in the shallows this time of year, especially for reds. We find them on shallow grassy flats early and can sight-cast some later in the day. http://sightcast1.com Call or Text 361-877-1230 and book your fishing trip today.
