     Today was worth mentioning because it was a fishing day and not a catching day. We went to Southbay and we were surrounded by non eating fish. Four hours and one redfish caught  with mud spots abounding around us. Almost everyone was shut down between dawn to noon. Sometimes the fishing reports are not just about the best days of catching but some are great days of just fishing.

Stay in touch for better days,

I also fished all day yesterday, and saw those same fish in south bay actually caught one around 4 p.m. but they were definitely lock jawed yesterday.

My biggest observation of the day was that the water was warmest at the Queen Isabella causeway in the afternoon on an incoming tide.  The water in the morning on the outgoing tide was 6 degrees cooler than the incoming tide off the gulf in the afternoon.

West side, south of Cullen had the coldest water 48 degrees (no bait or birds), gaswell flats 52 degrees (lots of birds working there as well, but no fish caught under them, even though the pelicans seemed to come up with a fish on every dive). Queen Isabella causeway in the morning (outgoing tide) 51 degrees in the afternoon (incoming tide) 56 to 57 degrees. South bay in the afternoon where I was fishing on top of a million lockjawed redfish, 54 degrees. observation = this week the bay was colder than the gulf hence warmer water on an incoming tide.

I checked the barometric pressure for yesterday, and it never stabilized it rose all morning then spiked and dropped fast all day.  I don't think the fish were ever abler to adjust to the pressure, and they probably had headaces all day long, hence the lockjaw.


None the less it was a fun day.

If I could do it again I would have fished at the jetties, I bet there were tons of fish stacked up thick in the deeper water around the jetties.

Thanks for all those degree measurement.......that will be helpful in deciding what to do after this cold front. Wait for a warmup I guess. Ship Channel..........
