weeks bay 7-15-12

[skyln95]

i fished weeks bay sunday. nothing but a sand trout in the boat. tossed back a 10in sandy, and a bunch of croaker. oh, and a lady fish. tried fishing the marshes and grass for reds and flatties, but nothing. but, on a promising note, there were alot of shrimp around. especially at the mouth of the iberia channel.

Thanks for the report

aaaahhhh! I can't wait for that place to turn on, it's time already!

[skyln95]

Well, if you're judging by the movement of shrimp, they're all the way up in bayou Jack. so I think it should be turning on soon.

Waiting on the same thing. Last week the salinity was up to almost 9 now back down to 6.5. Hopefully some salt water will get pushed back in the bay this week.

You guys are right.....
Plenty of salt for the bay. There are tons of birds working over small trout with a falling tide. Can't find the big girls yet under the birds. Decent size coming from well heads in the bay...nothing really big, all 14-16" size.

one of my best trips were last year with a salinity of 1.5ppt. Big fish too. But the fishing this year has been much different from past years.

Telling you that VBay folks is tight-lipped How many reports you see coming from there (very very few) yet how many boat trailers are in the parking lots everyday

Seems we're letting a real time monitor and computer dictate when we go fishing!!!!! BS!
You can't catch fish doing yoga in your living room. The only thing I pay attention to is forecast winds and the direction, thats my deciding factor on going.

Me too Best time to fish is anytime you can go. I am now a weekend warrior/office fisherman so can't go on the 'best' days but make do with what I got. Just like the reports on VBay above saying the trout are not there, they are not biting, don't waste your time, yet that one fella goes out and ready to give up and boom catches a 100 Can't catch them at the house

I fish almost every weekend (missed one weekend in last 2 months), I just use the computer to dictate where I will be fishing. Don't see anything wrong with that. Def can't catch them in the office.

Matt, do you think these fish were caught in the Bay or outside the pass? If I had to guess I'd say the well heads west of Dry Reef, in the bay, on live mullet....just a guess though

[Crawl79]

I heard in the bay, but who knows. My info source wasn't in the boat.

Heard he ran west out the pass and up the Calcashieu Ship Channel and caught these behind the weirs kidding, but thats a nice catch wherever he caught em. Would make a heck of a stringer mount
