The fishing ban has been extended and the water temperature is way down there.

Concerned about potential pillaging of speckled trout, redfish and other coastal game fish crowded into harbors, channels and other deep-water sanctuaries to escape frigid temperatures, state fisheries officials extended until noon, Monday, a closure of some areas along the coast to all fishing.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department had imposed the closure, which affects 21 locations along the coast, Wednesday when it became obvious the days-long siege of freezing or near freezing temperatures would drop inshore water temperatures to levels that would trigger fish to seek refuge in deeper, more insulated waters.
The ban had been set to expire at noon, Saturday.
"This freeze event has lasted longer than was projected earlier in the week and temperatures are not expected to get much above freezing today," said Robin Riechers, TPWD coastal fisheries division director. "We realize an extension through the weekend may inconvenience some anglers and we appreciate their patience and cooperation, but our primary concern is to give fish holding in those thermal refuges a chance to recover."
The fishing closure is limited to only the designated cold-water refuge areas. All other areas are open to recreational fishing.
TPWD officials noted that while fishing continues to be allowed in areas not under the closure order, fish may be taken only by legal means such as catching them on a rod-and-reel. It is illegal to pick up and retain cold-stunned or dead fish, either by hand or with nets.
Agency officials requested the public report any illegal fishing activity in closed areas or taking fish by illegal means to local game wardens or by calling the agency's Operation Game Thief tip line, 800-792-4263.
TPWD also asked anglers and others who observe what they believe are freeze-related fish kills or large numbers of sluggish, cold-stunned fish to report the event by contacting the agency's Law Enforcement Communications offices at 281-842-8100 or 512-389-4848.
Many Texas coastal marine species begin having physical problems when water temperature drops below about 45 degrees. Surface water temperature along much of the Texas coast has plunged below that level, with some shallow-water areas along the middle coast seeing water temperatures below 40 degrees.
Through late afternoon on Friday, reports of scattered fish kills, most of them involving relatively small numbers of fish, had come from the length of the Texas coast. Most of those reports came from the shallow-water areas along the middle and lower coast, where deep-water refuge is less available than along the upper coast.
The lingering cold spell has triggered major concern for the sea turtle population in Texas' inshore waters. The state's near-shore and inshore waters hold increasing numbers of sea turtles, mostly juvenile green sea turtles.
As of late Friday afternoon, wildlife and fisheries staff and volunteers have collected more that 500 cold-stunned green sea turtles, most of them from the lower Laguna Madre.
