Fishing Report 5/12/2010

Lots of fish coming from the Land-cut. Baffin Bay is still holding big Trout for the wade fishermen. Emmonds Hole and Nighthawk have some nice Reds. Pure Oil to the Corpus Bay front holding lots of Trout, Reds, and Drum. Everyone seems to be using Corky Lures with great results. We now have live Croaker in good supply. Croaker are an awesome live bait so if you want to make sure to get some call ahead and we'll have some waiting for you when you get here. You must pick up your reserved bait by 7:00 a.m. As always be cautious on the water with respect to yourself and others. Keep sharp out there.

Capt. Chad's Fishing Report

Cliff with his personal best and leader of 2010...30 3/4" 9 3/4 Lbs


The fishing in Baffin this year continues to be great. We have landed many trophy trout since my last update and have obtained full limits on many occasions. Hottest lures have been Gambler Flappin Shads and Mirro-Lure He-Dogs and She-Dogs in the Green Back/Silver Belly/Orange Throat color pattern. Back on April 21st, a big congrats goes out to my client Cliff Swift when he became the new leader with his 30 3/4" 9lb 12 oz Trophy Trout for the free Waterloo rod. The fish was caught on a top water lure that afternoon. Looking forward, we will continue to run deep into Baffin in search of some more trophy trout. Most fish have been coming off the rocks in Baffin Bay over the past couple weeks, but the bigger trout have continued to be in shallower than waist deep water. This past week we landed 4 trout over 28 inches, so hold your breath a little longer Cliff, because I got some guys chasing your leading trout.

Well winter in finally over and Sumer has arrived! Mother Nature decides to interrupt our aquatic eco system every four years or so. A biologist friend told me back in 1968 that Mother Nature takes care of the fishing industry. Every three to four years we experience a “healthy winter” here on the coast, and this year we did just that. This year fishing will be at its best.
The land cut is still producing nice trout from the Gulf of Mexico. Redfish are being caught in the nine mile hole area. Baffin Bay is producing large trout up to 8 lbs. Upper Laguna Madre has everything including Trout, Flounder, Reds, and Drum. Live shrimp has been the bait of choice, and we’ve got plenty. We will be getting croaker in around June 10th. That’s all for now and remember to be cautious and stay safe out on the water.
