Fall Fishing Is Here!

Early Fall 2021 Texas Coast Fishing Report: 

Last week’s front really kicked off our fall fishing. I was able to sneak out on Friday and head to the coast. A friend and I were greeted with multiple schools of redfish pushing shrimp down marsh shorelines, and we also had a few shots at singles on the flats. We had a lot of fun throwing Gurglers in front of the schools, the topwater eats were epic and added to the day’s excitement. We didn’t see as many birds working as I thought we would, but we found plenty of schools anyway. Fishing is great, if you have any vacation or sick days left, you need to burn a couple and hit the water! 

Make sure you drop by the shop for the latest fishing intel and to get geared up for some of the best fishing of the year. Don't forget you can also shop online at Bayoucityangler.com

 

Early Fall Schools Tips 

  • Be observant! – Look and listen, a handful of times we could hear redfish popping and splashing nearby.
  • Pole to where the school is heading, not where they are! – These schools tend to move rather quickly, try your best to cut them off and give the angler the best shot. 
  • Have fun but stay calm! Buck fever can lead to missed opportunities, try and take a breath and focus on making the best shot, I know that’s hard when redfish are chasing shrimp out of the water! 

 

 Early Fall Saltwater Gear notes 

  • Tropical Lines are still the best choice right now. Cool weather is coming, get your winter lines ready, but don’t put them on just yet.
  • General Gear Used: 
    • 7-8wts 
    • Tropical Fly Lines Rio Summer Redfish & SA Grand Slam
    • 9ft 16lb Rio Redfish Leaders 
    • Flies: Redfish Crack, Gurglers, and Kwans
