Bluffs Landing Marina Fishing Report
April 7, 2008
What a beautiful weekend we had at Bluff’s Landing Marina and Lodge! Our weekend began Friday with the Texas Redfish Series arriving at the marina for their fourth redfish event in the Corpus Christi area. One hundred and twenty-five teams of redfish anglers competed for a $12,000.00 first place prize. Teams could weigh in two live redfish between 20 and 28 inches. The weigh-in began at 2:00 p.m. and the anglers had to be in sight of the marina by 4:00 p.m. sharp! One hundred and twenty-five redfish were weighed and put in holding tanks. They were later returned to the original waters they came from. The first day, the weigh-in was at Bluff's Landing and day two was held at the new “H.E.B. Plus” located in Flour Bluff. Out of the 125 teams that entered, only 50 teams were allowed to fish during day two. I took a lot of pictures of the event, so check out our web site at www.bluffslanding.com, to view them.
Aside from the redfish tournament we had a ton of anglers competing for “diner table catches.” I can’t tell you how many full boxes of trout and redfish were brought in. After witnessing the fish caught over the weekend there is no doubt that Baffin Bay is still holding plenty of nice trout and reds. On a side note the wade fishermen seem to be bringing in the best fish. Now if you’re looking for the perfect spot to bring in some keepers try Rocky Slough and Pensecol Point. These two areas are producing trout, reds, and a few flounder. King fish were also being caught in the surf about three miles out. The Boat Hole was holding a lot of keeper trout and oversized redfish. Other local action has also included redfish and trout on live shrimp as well as artificial bait. Speaking of bait, live croaker will be here May 1, 2008, so mark your calendars!
The summer is upon us here at Bluff’s Landing and we are having a great one so far! There were over 700 people here on Saturday and 500 plus people here on Sunday. What a great start for the summer! From all of us here at Bluff’s Landing Marina thank you, and don’t forget to visit our web site at http://www.bluffslanding.com/, for everything Bluff's Landing Marina and Lodge has to offer. Please call ahead for your bait and lodging.
Thank you!
