i went monday, got 12 bull whitings, a gaint sized spanish mackeral and a sheepsheads at surfside and the jetties... dont' forget starting today the flounder is down to 5 limit... gulp under a cork or fish finder rig will do the trick for both reds and flounder...

Flounder down to 2 from 5 I believe.

a say live shrimp on a popping set up and you will be good to have some fun. i would try maybe some finger mullet on a bullet sinker as well...maybe some soft plastics depending on whats biting..i personally like going to san luis pass

[mahoro]

what i like to do is buy some live shrimp, and bring a cast net, go to the surf or in the bay and catch some bait, thats what the fish is going to eat most the time, if not, use the live shrimp

Talked to an electrician buddy yesterday. He went to surfside Sunday and caught 8 trout to 23" on free-lined croaker. Paddle-tailed Bass Assassins in pumpkinseed/chartruese hopped along the bottom or swam slowly with an 1/8th oz. jighead are deadly to flounder if live finger mullet can't be found.

Get a cast net an get live bait from the surf...my hubby an I did this, mind you I caught the bait...... an he caught 4 38+inch redfish, an a whole mess of gavtop(spelling*), an got a hit from something that busted his 60lb test clean...we were thinking shark....so needless to say I stayed out of the water that was any deeper then my ankles.

nice, out in matagorda i caught a lil' black tip shark off of finger mullet.. he was about 30" and i caught him with a 15lb line.. but i definately will take my casting net and catch me some nice live bait. thanks
