Corpus BTB may 5th-9th

Post by Addisonsmithdt2016 »

I'll be in Corpus Christi may 4th till the 10th. Seeing if anyone wants to meet up and offshore kayak fish the 5th through the 8th. So far may 5 and 6 are showing surf 1-1 ft and swells 2.5 max between 6 seconds. But could still change. Let me know if anyone wants to fish with me. Image

I've been watching this as well but keep in mind that this time of year things can change quickly a week out. I was going to fish last weekend but the day before I was going to make the trip the conditions/winds changed quick. Needless to say, we did not do the trip due to the sudden change. That's just the way CC is this time of year.

If weather stays good I'm going Friday for sure. On call Saturday so it depends but if I'm not going to get called in I'll go then too. But Friday for sure weather permitting.

Not to rain on anyone's parade but MSW is optimistic. Here is Windfinder's prediction for the same days; it has proven much more accurate on average. I just don't want to see folks travel and then be forced to sit on the beach. Saturday and Sunday look pretty good, but Friday morning not so much ...yet. I hope it smoothes out!

If it's too rough on Monday Tuesday I'll probably just kayak bay fish.

Those 6 miles rigs are still there? I thought they took those down too along with the 4miles (spinnaker) rig 2 years ago.

Good luck everyone and stay safe. I'm in Oklahoma and was just looking at the beach webcams, I'm very jealous that I'm not down there fishing also. I'll just have to settle for a local lakes this weekend.
