bay levels - Christmas or GISP

[Hook&Look]

Thinking of heading out tomorrow to try Christmas Bay or put in West Bay at the State Park. Anyone been out lately? How's the water level. Last time I was out it was super low.

thx

I'm sitting at GISP now. Water level is decent and good color in the protected coves. Out in open wate there is a stiff chop. Lots of waders on the east end of the park.

My experience is that days like this are tough in Christmas. Its so shallow, it gets blown out in a hurry or really churned up. More places to hide on the West End.

Good luck. Go fishing.

water was crystal clear, launched at Dana cove and spent a coupla hours out there. Will try the west launch next time. Didn't find much water over about 2', and was more windy than predicted. Great area, looking forward to trying it again

Good luck Sisco!

It costs $5 to enter the park. If you have a Texas Parks Pass, park entry is free.

....have to ask. Did you catch any fish in that "crystal clear" water? Only time I had any luck with water that clear was both in the Bahamas when i was stationed on Andros and then back in the mid seventies when we skipped school as the water on the beachfront was so clear that you could see the schools of trout off the groins!

You'll have better luck IMHO when the water is a bit dirty.

got no bites and didn't see anyone get bit either. Got a good look at the bottom though. Had never seen the water so clear in that area. Did slightly better at SLP where it was a bit dirty, but was also full of weed.
