Fishing Thermoclines During Summer
If you've been wading recently, you've likely encountered colder pockets of water near the bottom. This transition layer between the warm surface water and cool, dense water below is called a thermocline. For example, if the surface water temperatures are 88 degrees, the layer below can be two to three degrees cooler.
During the hottest parts of the day, fish gather along ledges and drop-offs to escape the heat, holding close to the bottom where it’s cooler. Here, they conserve energy and won't chase down their prey aggressively unless it’s within close range. Knowing this, slowly working soft plastics on the bottom will produce strikes from trout, redfish, and flounder.
Sea Tow vs. Tow Boat USA
What one is better? I primarily fish Matagorda but will be taking the boat to Louisiana next month. Trying to decide if with it or not.
Had a great day on the water with my son Keith and Captain Scott Null who agreed to jump on my boat and help me lay some tracks in POC. It was a huge help to learning how to navigate in and around the area. As a fairly new boat owner Scott also took the time to give me several tips on properly running my boat. It definitely helped that Scott had ran a Patriot before. It’s amazing how well he knows the bay and he doesn’t have a GPS on his poling Skiff. Thanks again Scott!!
First time fishing a new moon at night out in Port Lavaca. Didn’t do as well as I hoped for but did enjoy watching this red absolutely inhale a Mansfield knocker right before sunset. Still a good trip and good experience to learn from.
Happy Father’s Day to all the AnglerU dads out there. Like many of you, I learned how to fish from my dad, who learned from his dad. The older I get, the more grateful I am for all the great memories on the water. Thanks for everything, dad!
