Thank you Jason. Google earth is a great resource to learn how to identify good areas. Drop-offs are adjacent to shallow structures like flats, spoil islands, oyster reefs, and channels. Plus, you’ll notice the water color changes as the depth increases. In the first picture, I circled the seagrass that meets the color change, which is the drop off. It’s the opposite in the second, where a shallow sand flat drops off to 3 feet of water. Hope this information helps.

I’d contact Capt. Chad Banks (817) 422-4531. Good offshore guide out of Port Aransas.

Hey Francisco, check out my latest and previous reports. Aside from dropping water levels, the patterns I mention will be very similar for wading or drifting in the Corpus area. Let me know if you have any questions.

Any brand of Size 4 trebles will work.

Location is a big factor to consider when targeting spawning trout. Since they're broadcast spawners, fishing areas with good tidal or wind-driven water movement tend to be productive, helping disperse their fertilized eggs. In my experience, shallow flats adjacent to drop-offs or along channel edges and main bay shorelines have been productive. Additionally, they'll feed heavily in between spawns to sustain their energy levels. So, finding areas with abundant baitfish is another important factor. In terms of lure choice, everything from soft plastics to topwaters will do the trick. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.
