 Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 1:20 pm Post subject: Lower Laguna- Tips for April? |
 |
|
I'm planning three days of flyfishing out of Port Isabel in mid-April. First day guided, then two days on my own. Looking for recommended spots to drive up, SAFELY park, and wade or paddle my canoe with at least a chance of snagging a fish or two. A couple of thoughts are:
1) West side of Padre Island, just north of "civilization" (SPI).
2) Atascosa Wildlife Refuge area.
Any comments or suggestions? |

My first saltwater trip of 2007. Normally would have already been 2 or three times by April, but too much work as well.
Booked with Eric Glass. Credentials look good, seems like a nice guy. Also, like me, graduated from SW Texas St. Univ. in the late '80's. |

Thursday: Eric Glass is a top-notch, class act (in my opinion). Perfect conditions- sunny with light breeze. Saw easily 100+ reds. Had shots at 50-60 of those. Landed 13 or 14 total. Need to work on my back cast into the wind...
Friday: SE wind sustained at 35 mph. 
Saturday: NW wind sustained at 35 mph.  Gave up, came home one day early... |

We spent the first few hours in some west shoreline coves, very near that Buena Vista ranch house. But, the tide was out and not moving. We saw a few lone cruisers in that area, but nothing like the fish we saw once we moved east to the white sands area, AND the tide began moving  . There, we concentrated on the transition area between grass and sand... |
