Fished San Luis Pass this morning in the kayak not a single bite...

Fish Moses Lake around the tide Gates and Marsh this afternoon until dark, not a single bite....

That is all :<

Skunked huh? I can see Moses being hard but not SLP with Titlum Tatlum bayou. I always catch something in there.

At Moses lake, did you fish the deep part? I always wonder how it would be this time of year.

Are lures effective that deep though or do you have to use bait?

I think those deep ass holes in SLP are worthless. Kickingback is right - Titlum is always productive for us, and Cold Pass can be as well.

I've figured base on where I've gotten bites my last few trips fall and winter, I'm going to always include a visit to a cut around 100' wide on all of my future trips.

Yeah, not easy without a buddy to tag team the kayaks. I did strategize a plan once to take a long rope with me, tie it to the front carry strap of the kayak, run it up to the top of the levee, feed it under the guardrail cable, tie that off to the trailer hitch and pull that thing up the hill with the truck..... :D

Moses hole is usually good this time of year. You can get specks, flounder and some reds. Lures work fine, but you need heavier jigheads to get the bait to stay near the bottom. I have had best results with Morning Glory and Red Shad colors (dark seems to be best at those depths) and have used mostly 1/4 oz jigheads, though in higher winds, I have used a 3/8 oz jighead to help keep the slack out of my line.

that is one of reasons why I ditched my malibu stealth 14 and got Pescador 12 -- now I simply carry it in my hands :)
