Captain Carl, a full time professional, licensed Fishing Guide in Corpus Christi, Texas Gulf Coast presents you
Tip #1 When using live shrimp for bait, try using larger than normal hooks such as #3 Treble or #3 Wide Gap. By using the larger hooks, the undersized fish that are released will have a much better chance of survival. Tip #2 Also, wet your hands before handling the fish so when you are taking the hook out, your hands will not damage the protective coating of slime on the fish. Tip #3 When you see seagulls hovering over the water, this means there are normally fish in that area. In order not to scare the fish, do not use your big motor when you get near the seagulls. Instead set up a drift or work your trolling motor as you get near or next to the seagulls in order not to scare the fish... Tip #4 Avoid fishing in clear water unless you see bait fish activity or diving birds. Fishing in clear water spooks the fish too easily so look for off color water for the best fishing. Tip #5 July is a great month for night fishing because you have 2 full moons and this way you can beat the heat of the hot sun during the day. Tip #6 Try using cut bait or glow plastic lures in addition to top water lures for the best fishing. Tip #7 When the water temperatures rise, as they do in the summer months, concentrate on deep water for trout in depths ranging from 4 to 6 feet. Free lined piggy perch or croaker should produce the best results. Tip #8 If you are using lures, try a slower retrieve. Summertime fish are not as willing to chase baits. Reds should be in shallow water early, and later in the day, redfish should move to the edges of flats, where deeper cooler water is near. Tip #9 Fish that we catch are Type of fish Drum, black Drum, red* Flounder: all species, their hybrids and subspecies Sand Trout Seatrout, spotted*** Sheepshead Daily Limit 5 3 10 (in any combination) No limits 10 5 Size 14 - 30 20 - 28* 14 - No limit No limits 15 - 25*** 12 - No limit * Red drum special regulation: During a license year, one red drum over the stated maximum length limit may be retained when affixed with a properly completed Red Drum Tag and one red drum over the stated maximum length limit may be retained when affixed with a properly completed Bonus Red Drum Tag. Any fish retained under authority of a Red Drum Tag or a Bonus Red Drum Tag may be retained in addition to the daily bag and possession limit as stated in this section. *** No more than one spotted seatrout over the stated maximum length may be retained per person per day and counts as part of the daily bag and possession limit.
