Hey guys looking for report of Rock port / Copano bay. We will be down there next week on the north/east end of Copano ...hopefully with dads boat lol if he can get the fuel pump fixed. :headknock.... if not I'll take the family to Goose Island State Park. Thanks in advance :fish:
Copano has been hit and miss......mostly miss for us artificial only guys. Some (not all by any means) of the croaker guys have been doing fair on the reefs. Trout are still pretty scattered and you really have to grind to find them. A few solid ones found but mostly bait stealing dinks. If the wind gets up above 20 sustained it will trash most of the bay. If you have a boat I would head to st joe and run it from Spaulding to south of mudd island. Reports have been a little better over there.
I am still grinding in Copano this weekend and for a few more weeks. Send me a PM before you go down and I will fill you in on anything new
thanks boltmaster....if the wind picks up is it even worth hitting one of the piers to let the boy just wet some lines....hell last year he did that and he got the only keeper of the trip a 20 inch **** near 4 inch thick flounder sad2sm lil **** out fished me yet again :fish:
I checked the weather for the weekend and don't think it's gonna get passed 20. Y'all should be fine. Now if a north wind decides to roll in its not worth it out there.
Got skunked in Copano but the trout were good last Friday on the bay side of Traylor Island on freeline crocker. Caught a few 20"+ just south of Paul's Mott on 4" Chickenboy's. Good Luck
I haven't hit it yet today ill be out later. Gonna try the deep lee reefs like boomerang and lone tree. Just to give it a try. Been seeing reports of people catching over deep shell. Ill post a report on here later
Yesterday the black drum were schooled up in Paul's Mott. Some guys were using spec rigs to keep from spooking them; others started out throwing shrimp at them but changed over to the spec rigs when they realized how skittish they were. Evidently the black drum are back along the St. Joe shoreline....at least for now.
You'll see a main building and lots of palm trees on one section. And a runway that they will land some impressively large plane for the size. Their pilots have to walk bow legged.
I see why the locals dont fish on Saturdays down there. Ive never in my life seen so many people/boats on one shoreline (south shoreline from Allyns Bite to Pauls Mott). You couldnt hardly squeeze in anywhere down there this past Saturday. It was ridiculous. People say POC is over crowded, I think they need to go fish this shoreline... Needless to say, our morning was wasted trying to find a place to fish. The afternoon we headed west and got on a few fish, but nothing to put in the box. Had one bite that felt like it could have been a keeper red, but it was short lived as it got off. Drfinitely going to avoid Saturdays down there during the summer from now on...
I like that area alot but have been avioding it so far this year because weekends are the only time i can get away. I have been thinking about running to the back of cedar bayou and hoofing it to the surf tho.
Friday looks like it might be a Cedar Bayou kind of day. Calm surf(if you can believe anything that the forecasters predict) and lower winds(maybe). If you go try and post up a report in case my buddy and I do not get to go.
Thanks!
Ill be out there this weekend over in copano, gonna try and hit near swan lake and port bay. Still dont have the heuvos to run Aransas without my pops not gonna lie.
