Great Saturday but... when the water comes back

Post by Gordo-wannafish »

Today was awesome, 12 reds (only one slot) and a flounder. They were in 4-6 feet of water, Water was Still really Low. But with the wind letting up tonight, hopefully in the morning the water will come back.
So then what? What's your strategy several days post front and water pouring back in?

Water already back a little above predicted, at least at Freeport.

Nice fishing. I got out into that same area in the afternoon yesterday with almost identical results. One slot, 21”, several rat reds, one flounder that looked good, but came unbuckled. I kind of wanted to hit a bay yesterday, but the wind was a little too much to my tastes for an open, exposed location in a kayak.

I’ll probably hit a Brazoria County bay someplace next time I get out which might be Monday or Wednesday afternoon or both, just for a change of scenery.
