Lots of rain brings down muddy water from up north.
Fresh water flushes out some of the bait too, like swimps.
I saw very few shrimp this past weekend popping on top of the water.
My friend who is a shrimper in Cameron said they are barely catching enough to break even. They are dragging just offshore and in the jetties when the winds are not too high.
The specks I caught yesterday had what looked like very small mullet in their stomachs. No shrimp or pogies.
