Lower Laguna
& Ripping Winds
Awaking to high winds isn’t the envied by most Texas Coast anglers. While spending a week on the lower coast, this morning’s wade consisted of off-color water and one stiff South wind.
“Strap on some loud, black topwaters,” I said as I eased into the three foot depth over mud and grass.
Surprisingly this morning was warm enough to wet wade for the other five fishermen; I was comfortable in my breathable waders.
The initial wade lasted several hours. Positioned in an area holding fair colored water, at a place we knew held big trout, was our best bet for boxing several, fat trout for each angler.
I was chunking a trout colored Super Spook before switching to an all black Spook.
The biggest of the wade was a 26 along with an oversized red; which were also one anglers’ 2nd and 3rd fish ever on topwater.
We soon began drifting grass at a deep depth of 4-5 ft. for the rest of the afternoon. The fish were scattered but we stick with it using red/white Brown Lure Devil Eyes. Another 25 inch speck was released and several limits of redfish hit the deck!
It was an exciting day on the lower coast, but we definitely had to work for our fish.
