I went fishing Monday. The weather was gorgeous here on the Texas Gulf coast! I fish the bays, not so much the surf, unless span-mack, or the yellow mouths are running. Water is still abit cool, 55 or so, which prompted wearing the neoprenes. What a damn chore that is getting suited up! Not quite Michelinish, but bulky none the less. I look forward to water temps of 70 and up. Right around June, I'll be wading in shorts and shoes, water only deep enough to soak my nads. But most of the water I'll be in will be knee deep. Fortunately, the nads won't get wet in water that skinny.....yet.
Monday had promise early..it was foggy, and I love fishing the soup. And most weekdays I find myself only one or two lucky enough people to be fishing! The water is calm/flat.
My choice for fishing in a fog is a top-water worked very slowly. Even reds, if they're around, will come up in 3-4 foot of water to hit a noise on the surface! On this day, most of the catch was undersized. But I managed to be fortunate enough to get 4 decent trout in as many hours.
Friday looks to be my next opp to hit the bays. Wish me luck!
