Did some wading and drifting in Chocolate and the SLP area today with a buddy. Beautiful day for a boat ride. Tough day for fishing. Bait wasn't scarce but bites were.

Water was a little sandy at the pass.
Ended up catching some dinks under birds and Glenn caught a solid 22" red. Catching was done on chartreuse tails and morning glory.

pressure = 30.32 ?????? What the....over!

Bad day on the water beats any type of day in the office! Glad you were at least able to get out there and get some sun, get a line wet and knock back a few cold ones.

Thanks for the report. Was the water level normal ?

[Milkjug]

Thanks for the report.

Is that high or low barometric pressure? Seems like it would be high recently, with these cloudless "bluebird" days and light N. wind.

[gordoleo]

That is definitely high, which for me always makes it tough fishing.

Thanks for the report, I fished Monday, full moon, higher than projected wind, water off color everywhere, pressure 30 plus rising. Beautiful day, 2 keeper trout, 2 keeper flat fish.

My 2 cents, pressure needs to be below 30 and falling for the fish to be hungry

Read that there were 2 recorded instances of pressure of 30.9 in Galveston. One in the 1800s and one in the 1980s I think.

Pressure of 29.9 I believe is average, and 30.3 is getting pretty high. Have to agree on the falling pressure being best, and I prefer to see under 30.

Now, if i could just get my days off to line up with favorable conditions!

Nice report Scott...The pressure has been dropping since yesterday and everyone is catching fish!..Thanks
