Lower Laguna Madre/Port Isabel/South Padre Island bait shrimp
Texas Fishing
Jan 27, 2023 15:34:39 #
The water temperature on the lower Laguna Madre has warmed just a little. It is still a couple of weeks behind schedule and our days aren't quite as sunny and bright as they usually are at this time of year but we're getting there. Some local bait shops are getting live shrimp on a limited basis. If you want to fish the weekend it would be smart to get shrimp mid-week and put them on the pump until you need them. Fuel prices are still pretty steep so we probably won't see any substantial relief until those skippers can make a few $$ on local runs. Meanwhile, trout on the flats are hungry! If it isn't one thing it's another. Tight lines bros.

Brownsville Tony: Man I wish I had gotten to know you when I lived in Houston and had a house on Tiki Island. About the only success, I had was fishing for bull reds, and not much of that. Just Sayin...RJS

It's good to hear from you, Tony. I wish I were done there. But, Marion can not make the trip.

Completely understand, Fly. I was thinking of you just the other day when my son was here. He fell in love with the area, the fishing and just the general idea of South-Texas. I drove him over to the village on Long Island and he loved that too. I mentioned that you had rented out there a time or two and wished you had been around to give him the inside scoop. I'm sure he will figure out how to network into an info stream somehow and by the next time they come down they'll know a lot more about it than I do.
I'm feeling better all the time. So well in fact I'm feeling naked without a boat....lol I'll curb my feelings and rely on my friends to get me out on occasion. Give our best to Marion and let her know we're pulling for her. I monitor her postings on FB so I can sort of tell how she's doing. Winter is almost over, you only have a 100 more days left. Buy her a new Lincoln and cheer her up.
