>Specks, Sand Trout and Drum at the Humble Channel

>King Ranch Shoreline Producing Trout on Soft Plastics

>Land Cut Cabin’s Lights Producing Trout after Dark

The Humble Channel at Red Dot Pier is producing speckled trout and sand trout during the daylight hours and at night. Fishermen are catching slot black drum and a few oversize black drum with some specks and sand trout mixed in.  The fish are being caught on dead shrimp, Fish Bites, and cut bait.  On the King Ranch Shoreline, there are good numbers of trout being caught on soft plastics.  Baffin Bay is producing redfish and trout around the rock structures.  Soft plastics and top water lures are the best baits.  Black drum are also being caught on dead shrimp.  The Land Cut is producing good numbers of trout under the lights at cabins on soft plastics.  The ICW is producing trout on the grass line drop-offs using soft plastics while working down the drop-offs. 

>Reds Being Caught Along Drop-offs in Morris Cummings Cut

>Trout Are Fair in Port Bay

>Reds and Drum Are Good Along the San Jose Shoreline

Good redfish action has been coming from Morris Cummings Cut, as well as the guts in South Bay.   Any number of natural baits has been working, primarily on a falling tide.  Drift fishermen have been doing well on good solid trout, especially along the shrimp farm shoreline. Primarily soft, dark plastics, worked slowly across the bottom is the ticket.   Some reds have also been picked up along the more shallow parts of the shoreline. Running off the shoreline of San Jose Island is the easiest way to spot fish activity.   Don’t burn the shoreline.   You can see brown pelicans diving and that will be a good indicator. Either jump out of the boat and wade to them or cut your engine and troll or use a push pole and ease up to the activity. Natural bait from the boat works the best, but soft plastic baits works best when wading. You can also catch good numbers of black drum on dead shrimp.
