General Fishing Notes for South Texas:

Look for areas with shell bottom and reefs. Anglers report redfish and speckled trout around the shell areas. Areas with access to deeper guts and cuts are best. Work edges and shorelines with shell areas. Water will be higher and the winds have blown out many areas. Keep these factors in mind when making your plan.

Early morning and late before sunset is likely to be the most productive times in the coming week. As is normal, look for bait working in the area. Find the bait and you will find the fish.
