Aransas Bay is just not producing many trout right now. Pat(602) went out Wednesday and came back with two trout, but one was 18 inches. He said shrimp were going for $14 a quart at cove harbor. Thursday, he stayed more in north Aransas and went through two quarts of shrimp and came back without any keepers. Pat and others have reported a short in the wiring at our fish cleaning stand.
Some friends of mine went with a guide yesterday. He took them to Sailboat Pass and they quickly loaded up with their limit of reds and several trout up to 22 inches. They went back out this morning in their own boat. They called about 10 this morning to see if my boat was available to tow them off a really shallow reef.
John and Justin went into the Gulf this morning in Justin's boat. The water was great and they picked up three King Fish.
Scott(702) started early this morning and fished from Big Bayou to Long Reef and did not get a keeper.
