Best time to fishing
“Go west, young man, go West”. That’s a good advice for bass anglers in Texas. In fact, the bass fishing action in West Texas promises to be some of the best you’re likely to see in your lifetime.
Bass need shallow water to spawn in, and baby Bass need vegetation to hide in until they have a chance to grow up. When lakes are low for a long period of time, lots of weeds and brush grow up in the dry lake bottom, and when the water comes back up, it’s a new lake. Especially in warm South and West Texas where warm temperatures allow fish to feed and grow.
No doubt about it, Largemouth Bass, striped and hydrid Striped Bass will provide plenty of fall freshwater action because weather is better, fish are more abundant, fish are more accessible. And also no doubt about our site, here offers excenllent striped bass fishing shirt for you.
Saltwater is at its peak during fall. Most anglers will be keying on red drum, known as Redfish in Texas. As the weather cools, Redfish begin schooling up in the bays, preparing to migrate into the beachfront waters of the Gulf of Mexico for their annual spawn. The most popular areas for fall flats fishing are Port O’connor, Rockport on the mid – coast and Port Mansfiedld, Port Isabel, and South Padre Island along the lower Texas coast.
When you fish in State water ( within 9 nautical miles of shore), you will find red napper, king mackerel, greater amberijack, Cobiba, shark species, and more.
