Well, let me tell ya, the fishin’ down at Port O’Connor ain’t been too bad lately, but it ain’t been all sunshine and rainbows neither. The weather’s been a bit windy, makin’ it tougher for folks to get a good catch. The water’s still lookin’ alright, though, ’bout 66 degrees or so, but it’s that wind that’s really makin’ things hard. You gotta be careful out there, especially if yer not used to fishin’ in that kind of breeze.
Now, let’s talk about the redfish, ’cause they been bitin’ pretty good. They like to hang around the north and south jetties. Best bait for ’em is shrimp, cut mullet, or even some skipjack. I’ve seen a lotta big ol’ redfish comin’ in, so you better have a good strong line if you’re hopin’ to land one of them. The silver spoons work good too, don’t forget that. Throwin’ one of them on the line at either jetty, and you got yourself a good chance of catchin’ somethin’ worth showin’ off.
But it ain’t just redfish out there. The trout are still decent, though not as many as the reds. If you’re after ’em, try free-linin’ some shrimp along the rocks, that’s been workin’ okay. You might not catch a bunch, but you’ll catch enough to make it worth your while. If you’re lucky, you’ll pull in a nice speckled one that’ll make yer day.
If you’re lookin’ to catch somethin’ different, you could try for a largemouth bass. They been bitin’ decent, and there’s a fair chance you’ll land a crappie too, or maybe a white bass or even some sunfish if you’re real lucky. We also got them gar swimmin’ around, but they can be a bit tricky to catch, I tell ya that much.
Weather’s been a little crazy, though, and it’s been messin’ with the fishin’ conditions. But, if you got the right gear and patience, you can still get a good catch in. Just make sure to check the weather before you head out, ’cause that wind can really mess things up. If you see the birds workin’, that’s usually a good sign that the fish are around. Live shrimp’s been workin’ pretty well for the speckled trout, so don’t forget to pack some of that if you want to get in on the action.
Now, if you’re headed out for the day, remember that Port O’Connor has got a little bit of everything. The fishin’ can be tough sometimes, but you just gotta keep at it. As the weather cools down, the trout and redfish will get more active. So, if you’re willin’ to brave the wind, you might just get lucky and catch somethin’ real nice. Just make sure you got yer boat sinkin’ gear ready, ’cause the water can be a bit unpredictable. Check the reports before you go, and you’ll know what’s biter right now. And don’t forget to bring a camera – you might just catch somethin’ big enough to make a picture worth takin’.
So, there ya have it. The fishin’ ain’t perfect, but it ain’t too bad either. Keep an eye on the weather conditions, stay patient, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll come back with a nice haul. Happy fishin’, y’all!
