Fished both north and south Wednesday through Sunday of this past week, water solid green in all areas fished. Traffic light Wed-Thur but picking up on Friday at Bird Island. Had two Trout over 28", one from the Boat Hole and one from Sulphur Flats area, a couple of upper slot Reds from same areas, all of this Wed-Thur, solid quality but low numbrs overall. Waded the Meadows Friday morning with very light winds and boxed 20 Trout between 3 of us from 18-25, all solid fish and very aggressive. I had a 10 fish stringer, all Trout, that went 35 pounds so real solid keeper fish. Bite was hot sun-up until around 11:00 and then things went cold. Big Trout up North were caught 1-4 p.m.

I fished Sunday the 25th and the water was brown from Snoppy's to laguna shores all the way down to pure oil and back into Nighthawk. There was no green water.

Water looked good for us. not perfect, but good or maybe I just have really good glasses that I did not realize!!!!! The fishing up north was hit and miss on numbers, mostly dinks with a few good fish thrown in. The fishing south was excellent with quality fish througout the area we fished. I fished many years locked in true Brown Tide throwing nothing but live bait and this water looked nothing like that.

I fished Sat and Sun and the water was horrible. I caught a few, but it was aweful.

Horrible? I think we get spoiled down here with the water clarity. I heard someone say it was green to the beach one time in Matagorda. It was more of a khaki color Smile

It was clearly subpar water clarity this past week don't care what eyewear was worn.

Sunday the water was ugly all the way to Emmords. Couldn't see your bait 10 inches below the surface. It was a little bit better in Corpus Christi Bay, but not much.

Spoiled is right, I could see my spoon a good two feet below the water, in this area that is not horrible. The fishing was good, all that really counts, I'll avoid any water comments going forward. Surprised

Growing up in Houston, I fished with my Dad on the beaches of Surfside and San Louis Pass. It was always muddy-brown there unless the conditions were epic. In Corpus, we have to have a storm to get water that brown. I don't mind being spoiled...

I hope it fades waway as well. I lived in CC for 30 years and fished all through the periods of Brown Tide over the last 25 years and I was just excited this time to see something that resembled green water. I know the water conditions have gotten much better overall, hope the bloom dies and things remain stable. I'll be back in early June for round 2! If I were not computer illiterate I would post the few pics we snapped.
