Default Big Lake this Weekend
I need some advice. I want to go to Big Lake this weekend, but see the forecast is very breezy with north winds with the cold front coming in. Should I still go fishing on Saturday? What about Sunday? Should I try to fish Saturday night or evening? I'm pretty flexible coming from Texas, but I really want to fish. If I do decide to fish, where so I go in Big Lake (besides, just look for the birds)? I'm looking for trout, flounder or redfish, but prefer trout. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think birds will still work if the winds get above 15 mph?

yea i agree with w wudnt be worth it to be fishing the birds latetly .. and also im very aware them birds arent gonna take a risk to be flying in more than 15 mph winds and not only that if the water gonna be really choppy they aint gonna get much baits for them to catch...

If there is any weekend you go make it this weekend. Fish leave the marsh at an epic rate when you get a North wind like this. A mass exodus of Reds and flounder...Specks schooling all over the bays feeding on shrimp that have left the marsh.....This is what fall fishing is about.

so before the reduction, there were no 11 in trout around? They were all 12 or greater? Where were that years fish or the year before that? You are reaching for cause and effect, but I will digress as to not hijack the thread


Waco, when I think of the worst conditions to fish it involves a front coming thru the night before and strong north winds the next day. You can catch fish in those conditions but if I had the option to not go fishing it would be an easy choice. Good luck if you go, you may be able to stay on the north bank somewhere to stay out of the wind.

Right now we should have few small trout ...trout should be around 16-22 inch female and males 14-18inchs going into winter

But no
... We have 100000000000 10-11 inch trout


Freken overpopulated and every guide on the East Side all agrees

Danny, If you can find another weekend I think maybe you should.

Winds and Gusts look to be pretty bad both Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks Paul. I think we are going to still try, but I understand the conditions will not be ideal.

I'll let you know if I find some fish Friday, that's about the best I can do.

Shoot me a text when you start heading this way.
