Fishing Forecast

Decided to include a photo of this Saturday, April 4th, 2009 fishing trip. I decided to use the fishing guides (solunar tables) for Mustang Island as my fishing guide. The fishing for today was forecasted to only be "Average" or one star. The the Major or best time for fishing was between 8:oo -10:oo in the morning and another major late in the evening.

I was on the water fishing the backside of Mustang Island by Shamrock Cove by about 7:15 Saturday morning. After a few casts with a topwater I caught a small trout. Switched over to a pearl/chartreus sand eel and started catching bigger fish. Working along the edge in about 3-4 feet of water I hooked up multiple times and decided to keep the fish in the accompanying photo.

I was at home with fish cleaned and ready to eat by 10:15 am and putting up this blog post by 11:45am. Not bad for an "Average" fishing forecast. Will have to try this same spot when the forecast is for a "5 star" day! It's good to be On Padre and Mustang Island.

The up coming fishing week beginning April 05, 2009 looks pretty good all week long. The biggest obstacle to good fishing this week could be strong winds as Spring cool fronts move into the area. Be sure to check upcoming weather conditions before getting on the water.
