THREE DAYS OF RAIN

June 29-July 1-2012--The good news is we got about 1 1/2 inch of needed rain the past three days.  The bad news is we couldn't fish very much.  Friday I took four fishers to Corpus Christi Bay but only got to fish a couple of hours before the storms chased us back to the dock.  After waiting a while it became apparent the storm cells would not let us go back out so we moved to Cove Harbor to fish the Estes flats area.  We put the boat in the water with sunshine.  Anchored up in a redfish spot and managed to catch one undersized fish before another storm cell came calling.  We went back to he dock with the 4 speckled trout and a about a dozen sand trout that we caught earlier in Corpus Christi Bay.

Friday night I offered to postpone the Saturday trip but the customers wanted to fish if it was possible.  Saturday morning I bought bait and put the boat in the water at the Saint Charles boat ramp and my customers came promptly at 5:55 AM.  There was lightening in the distance and after checking the smart phone weather maps I decided that it would not safe to fish. So, they went home and I put the boat back on the trailer.

Saturday evening I got a call cancelling my Sunday trip which was a 2 boat trip with another guide.  

I'm fishing tomorrow so I'll have another report but I don't know how good it will be considering the wind is forecast to keep us the best places for trout right now and the high tides are making reds hard to locate.
