サマリー
あらすじ・解説
If you're heading out to the Gulf of Mexico along the Texas coast today, you're in for a treat. The weather is looking pleasant with calm winds and sunny skies, making it ideal for a day on the water.
### Weather and Tides
As of today, November 3rd, the sunrise is at around 7:00 AM, and the sunset will be at about 5:30 PM. Tides are normal to slightly above normal, thanks to the steady southeast winds that have been keeping the water levels up.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday's fishing was excellent, particularly around areas like Port Aransas and Rockport. Redfish were plentiful, with many anglers reporting good catches. Speckled trout were also active, especially in areas like Sabine Lake, East Galveston Bay, and Port Aransas.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Redfish are schooling up and can be found in shallow bays and estuaries. They were caught in good numbers using live shrimp, piggy perch, cut skipjack, and mullet. Speckled trout were fair to good on live shrimp under a popping cork, as well as on soft plastics and top-waters. Black drum and flounder were also caught, with black drum responding well to live or dead shrimp and flounder biting on live shrimp and soft plastics.
### Best Lures and Bait
For redfish, live shrimp, piggy perch, and cut mullet are your best bets. For speckled trout, live shrimp under a popping cork or soft plastics like 3.5-inch LSU colored plastics are highly effective. Black drum can be caught using live or dead shrimp, while flounder are biting on live shrimp and gulp shrimp rigged weedless.
### Hot Spots
Port Aransas is a hot spot right now, with slot and oversized redfish being caught at the north and south jetties using silver spoons, shrimp, and cut mullet. Sabine Lake is also producing well, with speckled trout and redfish being caught off the points, drops, shell flats, and rock piles using live shrimp under a popping cork.
In Rockport, the areas around the jetties and along the shorelines are yielding good catches of redfish and speckled trout. East Galveston Bay is another good spot, with redfish and flounder being caught on live shrimp, live mullet, and soft plastics.
Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations and obtain the necessary licenses before you head out. Enjoy your day on the water, and tight lines
