| Thinking about heading down tomorrow for a few days. Weather Channel forecast looks ok as far as temps and moderate winds (not that I really trust them). What do the locals think as far as how the weekend will look like at PINS? |

| Surf yesterday was pretty high. Driving during high tide might be a little bit of a problem. Cold front coming through Saturday. Have fun |

What does a cold front usually mean for water conditions? Not so concerned about temps as I don't mind the cooler weather just don't want to be on the island if a front moves through and conditions turn to crap. I am a little gun shy of heading down when weather is questionable. made a trip down from Dallas last fall where things looked Okay when I left on Friday but on Saturday things had turned crappy and I had to turn around and leave.
I am still trying to figure the TX coast out. East coast is easy compared to this stretch of TX coast. |

RNail, according to the incredibly reliable and always accurate weatherman
 , there is a strong front coming through saturday afternoon 5-6 ish. So if it comes then, or the day before, or the day after, quien sabe, it will make a difference for driving - and my guess , the fishing as well. But being very spoiled (42 minute drive from my house to the sand of PINS), i dont care - i will go even if it sounds and looks like sxxx. And I will post it - so you know if you screwed up and should have been here - or chose the wise approach and stayed and home and watch the c.... , never mind.

Water temps are starting to really get down now too. I can still tolerate where it is right now without special gear, but depending on your own circumstances you may want to pack waders.

probably going to play is safe and stay home, hate to drive that way and have the weather be crap and the tides not cooperate. I can handle not catching anything since that happens a lot, just don't want bad weather and bad fishing. |

Got a feeling that Saturday, prior to front, is going to be good.
The fish get a break in that I'll be down in Kingsville at the King Ranch Breakfast .

| Water levels still look to be up and yeah sounds like it's going to be a pretty good front, so might want to wait on better weekend. GL. |
