| To calm it's a$$ down! I think I missed my big window to do some good surf fishing. Do y'all think it's already too late in the game to head back out there? How was the fishing in the past? The usual summer trend? I'm curious. |

June used to be one of the best months in the surf for trout. Coldwater upwellings and sargassam has changed the game. Maybe this year will be like the old days and an evening of topwater tossing will yield plenty for dinner.

| We've been getting them out of the surf in Port A the past month. Not in big numbers but 9 trout and a red 1 day and 2 reds and a trout the next weekend out. My buddy got a fatty trout at 28inches on a whole live shad about 4 inches long. Going this weekend for 7 days hoping the water clears some |

About time FINS I like hitting Mustang in May for trout. Any big ones cruising by that don't want to bite anything?

| I fished a spot with plenty of mullet cruising, jumping, even the birds were stacked up. Just seemed so rough out in the water. SBH has been my domain. North mustang seems to be producing. Can the water really change that much? |

Tyler, I just moved back to CC after many years living away since 1983. I was wondering how this year has compared to the last several for sargassum weed in the surf so far.
I read an article from the Houston Chronicle a couple months ago about Texas A&M scientists saying that this year the biggest portion of the weed that circulates up from the Caribbean Sea thru the straits of Campeche had turned NE toward Florida instead of keeping toward the Mexico and Texas gulf coasts. Have you noticed a difference so far this year compared to previous bad years? |

Yes a drastic difference in the unmentionable stuff this year! Sorry to C.S.

Glad to hear that for y'all and myself. Hopefully, the waters off Destin will be thick with weed mats when I head back in September. Nothing like lots of mats to bring the Mahi and Ono (Wahoo) close inshore!

Not necessary!! I made the mistake of being the "mush" last year and bring up the fact that the 'unmentionable' had not been around, and what happens 2 weeks later.  3 Foot high drifts at the waters edge. So, I have sworn off the 'brown weed word' and with the Brazos flooding, and the current change with the onset of El Nino this year, beachcombing has been better than ever!!!!! No complaints from me. |

| Yeah the sargassum has been very light. Little balled up pieces with a crab or two stuck to them. Say them weed crabs edible? |

I suppose almost anything could be edible if you were hungry enough
