Fishing Report "San Antonio Bay":

As predicted, wind stability and improving water conditions are setting the stage for "Trout Connectivity" in coming days. Capt. Steve Boldt reported water conditions in upper SAB slightly worse yesterday than expected but yielding limits to 18" on Trout.

Particular To Freelining A Finfish:

Wind direction and juxt-opposed tides continue to keep things just off kilter enough to prevent a wide spread "jail break" but it's coming sooner than later. I don't know if we're going to have to have a special planetary alignment or something to get things in normal seasonal form? Right now, strong incoming tides are the UPS of inner bay fishermen. The tides are delivering Trout shipments all over the bay systems as foraging Trout colonies move with bait, water temperature, and water conditions.

The fish delivering tides are a nuisance, however, when combined with a juxt-opposed South wind or as today a Southwesterly wind early in the day. When the wind slicked off, (just my luck as it went from 90 to 110 degrees in about 10 minutes), I was able to get in position with the waterflow fishing South with the tide and that's when it got interesting on Trout to 21" with the Stephen R. party from "Vicky-T". We managed 25 Trout with limits on the horizon. We just couldn't get it done fast enough to beat impending heat strokes around 11:00am. Picks to follow.

We dumped quite a bit of water overnight, the bays looked gutted with exposed shell masses clearly visible. I think this is probably a function of the Westerly component in the wind and it should line back out quickly. Until then, find the distant edge of submergent structure and move shallower rather than vice versa.

Come home when you can!
