Lower Luguna Madre, Texas - Saltwater Fishing Report

Jim Blackburn

Just got back from tarpon and snook fishing in Fl. for 2 weeks. Tarpon were so, so, but the snook fishing on the beach was off the charts. Anyway, back to Laguna Madre. First day out since I got back on Sunday was yesterday. Did three drifts behind Green Island and the fish were plentiful enough but small and super spooky. Did manage a couple though on a salt & pepper plastic minnow and a chartreuse streamer fly tied on a #2 hook. Will try the beach and the Port Mansfield jetties for tarpon tommorrow and then fish around Port Mansfield after that. Will let yall know what I find.
