Rookie to san luis pass bridge area

[Chuck06R1]

My advice is don't go by yourself. Always have someone with you when you're there. Fishing in the bay side isn't bad but there is definitely some current going through there during a good tide change.

The pass claims 6 - 8 lives a year. Remember the acronym PFD and use it when fishing there. Or you will wash up on the beach in between the pass and Surfside and some beach jogger will be scarred for life finding your body with crabs hanging off whatever is left. Bad deal all the way around.

fish the bay side dude around the grass, the pass is for rooks who drown.

One word for around the bridge: DANGEROUS!!!!!! Lot of people have drowned there.

When the weed is in , fish on galveston side, other than that there is lots of beach on the freeport side,
worst case 3oz weight and double drop hooks with dead shrimp.
that is my go-to

X1000 on what Barham and BH said. You can easily drown no matter how good a swimmer you are. Plus, the sand washes out from under your feet and whoosh, you are swimming and being swept away and pulled down. I prefer east or west of there. If trout are running the surf, why risk drowning when you can fish a little ways away from the pass itself.

First and foremost that area is dangerous and a lot of folks drown there each year so be sure to wear a PFD when wading in that area.

From a fishing standpoint it can be great and the baits that work in the surf in other areas will also work there.

Wear a PFD whatever you do I would not fish the surf anywhere near the bridge very bad currents go down around the cell phone tower on freeport side much safer
