Went down to Keller Bay with some veteran friends of mine and their teenage boys Sunday afternoon to stay until this morning.  Wind was brutal Sunday night but calmed a bit yesterday and today.  We caught limits of trout both days and five oversized drum like the one below.  And one tagged red, the other big ones went back in the drink.  Had a nice fish fry yesterday for lunch.

Took advantage of the great temps and managable winds and made a run out to the jetties.  Gorgeous day but the action wasn’t very steady.  Moved around a bit but could never find any schools of bulls like we expected.  Managed a couple but being out there was good enough for me.

Put up a hell of a fight. My drag was not ready for it. 

Me neither. I sight cast to a group of what I thought were puppy drum and she ate. Three of us caught 18 drum on the fly that afternoon after the reds disappeared.

25.  This is Surly. 

I guarantee I probably over estimated due me trying to not bust my ass on the wet algae covered concrete.  She was a healthy gal.

I haven't fished the flats in a year. Been watching a lot of Texas coast fishing YT videos. From those videos and from what I caught a few weeks ago, the trout are doing REALLY well. I caught a fat 25" trout who was mixed in with the reds slamming the baitfish along the grass lines. I caught another fat 23" trout casting to pot holes. Caught an easy limit of slot trout and probably ten more dinks and slots. Also caught an limit of reds. This was all within 3 hours of fishing on a mixed mud, shell, grass flat.

Sooo, it looks like the slot and 3 fish limit is working really well for trout. I would love to see them increase the bag limit to 4-5 per day but keep the slot limit.

You must have been wearing the wrong heels then... 😉

One thing i did buy this year was some of the korker strap on cleats.  Thing I think I like best about them is actually standing ankle deep on that algae, and letting the larger waves cool me off from the heat.
