Up to Speed
 

A good friend just directed me to Salty...
I'm getting back into coastal fishing after spending the last 20+ years in NE Texas. Heading to Big Lake next week, and I'm looking for suggestions...areas, tides, baits, colors, etc.

Any help would be appreciated, and if any of you ever need suggestions for fishing Texas lakes, I'd be happy to return the favor

Colors can change from day to day. check out this link for more help on colors.

Look at the salinity chart under the weather/tides/launches. trout like salty water redfish dont care as much.

fish moving tides

baits such as sand eel jr, Jerk jr, gulp swimming mullet. Do a search on the site for bait suggestions there are several threads about peoples favorite topwaters and other baits

Big brown-eyed green ones, with mouths tha size of buckets...not to tasty though

Yes we do ! Sounds like he would like to come over and fish with us for a few days.

Welcome to the site TT. Send me a PM with you number

Welcome to the site, PM sent.

South side of West Cove sounds like it is putting out some nice Trout.

don't worry bout them sand eel jrs...less you wanna keep a lot of dinks. Throw the big UNS! ;)

Yup, some big-uns on sparkle beetles from what I have been reading lately... People fighting to get in there so be careful !!!
