When the salty gets up high. The big Gaftop catfish love it up there. They've disappointed me a bunch of times they will destroy topwater baits and make you think you have a 10lb trout for a few seconds.

I have a 1750 aluminum bass boat and there are plenty of places to fish along the ship channel. Even with moderate winds you will be fine including turners bay. If things get rough you are 5 minutes away from the ship channel. I wouldn't cross the lake to weirs unless you know there will be good weather.

Theres plenty of fish in the prien area right now you just gotta find em, been putting a hurtin on the reds, flounder and the specks have started showing their face...its not always about salinity, specks don't mind brackish water...I've caught them when it was at 0 salinity many times.

If else fails just trailer down to Cameron launch if the winds aren't too bad fish the jetties and chunk a whole
mullet or cracked crab out on the bottom. Always big reds down there
