CEDAR BAYOU

10-22-2014--The  two fishermen wanted to fish Cedar Bayou.  I told them with the north east wind we would not be able to fish the surf and that the cut itself would not likely produce fish today.  After we spent about 2-3 hours there

I was glad I had warned them in advance.  The total catch in Cedar Bayou was one keeper red, one keeper trout and several undersized flounder.  One of the gentlemen did hook a large flounder but it got off before he could get it to hand.

I was surprised to discover that the water running out through Cedar Bayou had two outlets--the gulf and Vincent slough.  I had always thought that with a falling tide the water ran out of Vincent slough, into Cedar Bayou and into the gulf.  The opposite is true.  Part of the falling tide water leaves Cedar Bayou and goes through Vincent slough into Aransas Bay and on towards Port Aransas.

After our time at Cedar Bayou they were ready for a more sure thing so I suggested going for black drum.  Before noon they had limited on good sized black drum.  Black drum saved the day once again.
