Conditions appear to be improving along the seashore. What with all the poor reports I "think" things look better. They did from Friday to Saturday this week.
Friday around 4 pm parked about two miles down to let the boys out after the long journey down. They immediately banged a couple large whiting which were dropped just beyond the color change in the second gut. The water remains "cool" at 83. The boys had fun, the sharks did not show.
Saturday morning ran down to the 20 looking for a closer color change, which presented itself right on top of the second bar. The boys were dying what with all "the boring driving we have to do". So, the 19 became our home. 11:30 one bait in the back of the first, to keep them honest, one just past the color change. The boys had a grand time catching whiting, hardheads, a pomp and redfish, riding boogie boards, and running around. The shark rigs just sat there slightly bent appearing apprehensive.
2:30, super fresh whiting changeout, eat a sandwich, fix multiple tangles, cokes, lunch, 5:30 start the barbecue pit and change baits again. Fishing rods look really apprehensive as the water greens up to the beach with the incoming tide. The sharks did not show.
I have to say, things started looking better, only time will tell. We typically get our first cold front by Sept 15.....so grease your gear and sharpen your hooks NOW while its boring, the best time of the year is nary a score of days away.

Sounds like good news Troy. I've had a couple of really good fishing trips in Sept-Nov on PINS. Seems like my best whiting catches have been during the summer, but the reds and pomps come out during the fall. Hoping for the weed to disappear and the clean green water to come back soon...

I appreciate the update. Best "catching" month for me on PINS was the second week of December in 2004. All the good fish were abundant and hungry. You know what they say about Texas weather.........
