Saturday morning, looks like tides are in my favor ( i read this on the internet so I know its true) but just saying it is, I am thinking about taking the subie down all the way. At high tide several times in the last several weeks, I tried to go past the 20 - and got crossways in the mush right after that MM.

And I havent been past there since the storm - I drove down to around 36 or or so the week before, no problem at all. For those of yall that have, what its look like at low tide ?

And yep, Zman, I saw your post - and realize I may not get past the 5 , but whatever , those charts are right the majority of the time (51% or a little better). Thanks for the info.

Possibilities that my wife might go this weekend - I am only going to try for the pass if I go alone - if she goes - we will have a wonderful day in the pins neighborhood , somewhere, catching whiting and taking pictures.

I would check this over any published tide chart
http://www.cbi.tamucc.edu/cbi/Predictions/forecasts-water-level-forecasts/

It's a sticky on the front page.

Pay attention to the black crosses. Those are the actual water levels. everything else is just a guess (and you can see how poorly the blue line - Harmonic Predicted Tide Level, a.k.a. Tide Charts, does). That's about a 1/2 a foot of extra water you got to contend with, even at low tide.

On second thought, maybe not. went down this evening , got to pins just about dark, saw seaweed everywhere - kind of like Zmans picture earlier . So I drove down a bit hoping to drive out of it - went to 5 and said, thats it. Got out - put a couple of rigs, caught lots of seaweed, lots of hardheads , and one whiting.

But maybe this weekend would be a good time to drive down all the way - and probably not be tempted to stop and fish - and I might make it to mansfield.

And anyone that makes a run down pins on Friday, if you find that the seaweed lets up somewhere - please post that - and how far.

The seaweed definitely didn't let up today. I am going to try again tomorrow late morning early afternoon. Couldn't keep my lines clear at all today.

Since we are on the subject of sea weed, can someone please explain what it is we should be looking for on the A&M sargassum report? They report weed mats, but I am not sure what it looks like on the sat photo. All I ever seem to see is water and clouds. There is one tiny little brown spot off Padre Island around Yarborough Pass area in the 11/15 photo. Is that it?

The stuff I ran into yesterday wasnt Sargassum, it was that grass like seaweed. Not sure of the name but it was abundant.

I was out today and almost all of the grassy stuff is gone.
