Bluff's Landing Fishing Report 1/26/2009

The Texas Trout Series held their first tournament of 2009 at Bluff’s Landing this past weekend. There were lots of fish brought in, in spite of a strong cold front that hampered fishing conditions. If you would like to catch some of the action at home tune in every Wednesday morning at 6:00 AM on Fox Sports Southwest!

The Baffin Bay Rodeo will be held February 6-8, 2009 here at Bluff’s Landing Marina. We’ve had a lot of teams sign up already so if you want to fish get those registration forms in today! Click here to register. Make sure to call ahead to book your guide and accommodations.

If you’re going out fishing keep in mind that redfish and drum are pretty active this time of year. Live shrimp should be showing up here around the end of February. As of now Berkley Gulps are doing a great job as an alternative to live bait. Good luck out there!

Bluff's Landing Fishing Report 1-20-2009

We’ve had a busy weekend with lots of people out on the water. We are getting reports of nice trout coming from the rocks in Baffin, including a few in the 7-10 pound range. There’s plenty of redfish and drum being caught as well, with artificial remaining the bait of choice. We’ve seen lots of fish being caught on the King Ranch shoreline on both sides of Pure Oil Channel. There should be some really nice trout coming in this weekend as the Texas Saltwater Series kicks off the 2009 season with their first stop at Bluff’s Landing Marina. We also want to remind you to get those registration forms in for the Baffin Rodeo February 6-8! Click here for official rules and registration form. This is one you don’t want to miss out on!

Bluff's Landing Marina Fihing Report 1/12/09

Fishing has remained slow in the Laguna Madre due to low water temperatures. Fish tend to become dormant this time of year. Water temperatures remain in the low 60’s. The fish won’t attack the bait if it “swims” by. They will however grab it if you work it close enough to them. As long as they don’t have to work for it they’ll bit it. It will feel like a peck from a perch, so reel your line in real slow until you feel the tension on your rod. Set the hook with a medium pull. Live bait will be scarce until March of 09 due to the cold weather.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy 2009 from Bluff’s Landing Marina & Lodge! Hopefully you all had a wonderful and safe holiday season! We saw lots of people come out to fish this past weekend. Trout, drum, and redfish have been feeding on Berkley Gulp’s due to the lack of live shrimp. Shrimp tend to bury themselves in the sand when the water temperatures drop bellow 60° F. With these conditions artificial baits become their primary target. Remember that when fishing with lures you have to retrieve them slowly. These fish are in cold water and like humans we move much slower when it is cold. Remember we’ve got the Baffin Rodeo Tournament ($10,000 1st place) coming up in February so get those entry forms in now!
