New to West End fishing

[austinfisher]

Hello! I've just found your site and it's filled with lots of great information. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this site.

We've just brought our 23 ft. Polar center console fishing boat down to Pirate's Cove, where it'll live at my sister's house. We took it out for the first time last weekend but didn't have any luck. We don't know where we should go to fishi in the Pirate's Cove area. We're really new to saltwater fishing, so we have a lot to learn. Any suggestions about where to fish in the Pirate's Cove area? We aren't ready yet to venture out off-shore...just want to stay in the bay area. We fish with kids, so we want some safe and fun fishing sites. Thanks for any suggestions!

Welcome, great people here, Book the Aqua Pimp, Saltwater assault guide service, It will be worth every penny of safety and knowledge of West Bay, and he will find you fish too!!!!!!

Welcome to the site! That area is full of great fishing. I like to find some bait and structure and drift-fish with artificials.

This was my first yr fishing GLV and I relied on this site too for a clue! The entire S. shore is full of coves from your back porch down to San Luis Pass. Try mid bay reefs, Chocolate Bay, Greens Pt, N & S Dear Island areas, Greens & Jones Lake.

Good luck.

we're also planning to hire a fishing guide to go out with us on our boat to give us some suggestions. any recommendations for fishing guides that fish around Pirate's Cove?

Welcome!! Parents have a place in Pirates, Mell Wader is my neighbor your in good company... We'll have to link up and you can follow me around and I'll show you some spots and nav hazards to avoid that are just common in our area... GeoTubes and the 2 reefs and a few sunken concrete structures (wells) in front of Pirates.

Welcome to this forum and a nod to Aqua Pimp.

x2 for the Aqua Pimp. He will take care of you.

As the Administrator said, we have a place at Pirate's Cove, so if you see a 20' Tran Sport cruising around, yell out.

You have an awesome boat in the 23' Polar, however you may be a bit limited in some of the immediate shallow areas. Coming out of Lake Como heading north toward Green Cut you have an area called Meacoms, which is loaded with scattered shell. This time of year through the fall is good drifting. Look for slicks and birds. Your boat will do just fine. See you on the water!
