Sargent Fall Fishing: Drift fishing

  • October 16, 2015

In the Fall the North East Winds can disorient bait fish and shrimp  when they pass though near Sargent. Cool Fronts bring this kind of wind. This is a good thing. Bait can "stack up" in different parts of the bay. This attracts big fish. Look for birds check out south shore line and work the drift map This weekend look for drifts off South Shore. The Surf off Mitchell cut still producing fish and bait.  So all around Sargent tides Winds and plenty of fish. Look for some flounder starting to run with this new cool front. Remember  to count to 10 before setting your hook when you have flounder....

Watch Tides this week.  I would  fish the surf around the Sargent Cliffs on the Beach.

August fishing in Sargent, Texas heating up

We had showers again last week and seems like the drought is just about over in different parts of the ecosystem. It seems like since Hurricane Ike it has been really dry in the Sargent area. Now showers and rain flush out the creeks and rivers that empty into the Bay. The Croaker are running larger and there are incredible amounts of juvenile red fish that are being caught along the coast. This is good for the bay. The mixing of the Saltwater with the fresh water coming across the grassy meadows and deep bottom land forest. Water is the key to life. Oysters will be larger this year after...
