| Slowly, but surely the water level is coming down. It appears to have gone down 6-9" over the last 24 hrs? |

Yes, it is still very high.
No, it is not as high as it was.
We take what we can get around here.
Splashing into the yard a little is better than through the yard, up the driveway, and past the house.
And it is not over Laguna Shores where every idiot blasts through it and sprays everything near them.
Not good, just better.

BTW, talking about over Laguna Shores Road, due to the high water there is a pothole just South of the intersection with Glenoak on Laguna Shores which is getting big enough for a small car to fall in very soon! If I had an orange cone I would put it in the hole. I'm pretty sure I need my front-end realigned after hitting it last night. My wife said she hit it yesterday, as well. It's just after the road curves, so you don't see it until you are on it, or maybe I should say in it! I thought I should add, I called the City of CC and reported the pothole, so maybe, just maybe, they will get it repaired soon. |

| I agree on the water level being back up. I guess what I was seeing was due to the wind direction changing so much, or maybe just a tide adjustment. The wind started out being from the West yesterday, but soon ended up out of the Northeast. Today it's back to it's normal direction out of the Southeast. |

Has the laguna water level gone back down to the usual ?
Was there last weekend and Bluffs Landing was flooded. _________________ "May the wings of liberty never lose a feather" Jack Burton |

Nope, still as high as it has been. Someone needs to pull the plug. |

Can someone explain the effects of high water levels in the bays/Laguna on fishing? Is it just an issue that they are not holding in the usual areas and are not as restricted to the usual "highways"? _________________ Be sure to make good choices when you're being stupid. |

You might check my recent Estes essay below.
http://www.corpusfishing.com/messageboard/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=38770
The shoal at Little Cut (60-y-o cut), which we waded and fished in February and April, couldn't even find probing with a paddle in Oct big water.
We kept working farther up Trout Bayou and finally found the fish near the 100-year cut - where there wasn't any water in April, and not enough water to paddle a kayak there in February.
We found the fish there the first morning, went straight there and caught them the second morning.
The nice thing, all the power boats had such a bad Saturday, we had it all to ourselves on Sunday.
I'm thinking this afternoon and tomorrow should be really good just about anywhere in the bays, with the NW wind of the past 24 hours temporarily pushing a lot of water from the bays. |

| Water levels are back to normal in our canal today although the water in the Laguna look like one of my favorite drinks, yoo-hoo. |

Thanks Bulldog, so it's not that it changes the feeding patterns or fish behavior as much as they just aren't where we are used to them being. Makes sense. _________________ Be sure to make good choices when you're being stupid. |

you're welcome, friend.
Zia, what you need is get far enough in the grass to filter some of that coffee. If you can find a seam between the coffee water and clearer water, it should fish awesome. The bait runs into the coffee to hide, and comes back out to breathe, where the gamefish are waiting for them. |
