"Hey those are my dentures!"With less wind over the weekend fishing has returned to normal for this time of year. The Land-Cut and Nine Mile Hole areas are producing Redfish and Large Drum up to 30 lbs. Speckled Trout are here in large numbers. We’ve seen lots of 14 to 15 inch Trout being caught in the upper Laguna Madre around Pita Island and Pure Oil area. Birds are working the intracoastal canal, feeding on the pink shrimp migrating from the flats to the bay systems. Pink shrimp are also known as “hoppers” because they are so hard to hold onto. We got an early crop this year; they usually don’t show up until the middle of March. In other words we’ve got plenty of live shrimp on hand.
This year Bluff’s Landing Marina will be hosting Summer Fishing Tournaments for the whole family!
