Beautiful morning for Rat reds
Beautiful morning for Rat reds
7AM launch cool temps, no wind, beautiful clear skies,Shallow water. Lighthouse lakes again, never gets old.
Over a dozen Rat Reds, lots of mullet. Worked the deep pools of green water visibility about a foot until incoming tide flushes sediment out of water then water becomes bluish with increased visibility.
2 lower slot fish kept, a 20 inch red & a 14 inch flounder which was a surprise catch. ]

Very nice if you don't mind me asking where do you launch from? Been wanting to try the light house lakes but not really sure where to launch from

Re: Beautiful morning for Rat reds
The State highway 361 from Aransas Pass to the ferry landing Is nothing but a Kayak launching site. From the overpass of the ICW on east side thru the south bay to the lighthouse lakes pull over anywhere & launch. Study your google maps for your plan of action. On the west side, Redfish bay ( nice ledge there in the mud for a mile) to Fin & Feather bait shop & Brown & root flat thru Sailboat channel all kinds of open launch beaches. People campout and squatter small patch of channel for days at a time. Plenty of room, If a spot is taken with a parked vehicle & nobody around don't be rude leaving nasty notes on somebodies truck, there's plenty of beach to put in.
Be respectful lots a water to catch fish.

I usually let the wind decide what side of 361 I fish...Lighthouse lakes park has a good kayak only launch that is pretty nice. On the other side I like Brown & Root...But like 12pdtest said the whole area is a kayak launch
