fishing gear, tackle, bait and a little knowledge and you're all set. If you

Texas Gulf Coast Fishing
Forums
We have built a new
bulletin board
service for Texas Gulf Coast Fishing. You will find quite a few topic
areas to help keep the posts relavant and together. We plan on adding a
photo album to the forum in the near future as well. Our hopes are that
this will be a board for fishermen to share experiences, techniques, and
knowledge for the betterment of the sport. Basically, this
forum
is
for everyone, especially our younger sportsmen out there, so please keep
it clean. I encourage your posts and feedback. This forum will be what
we make of it.
From Top to Bottom - June's Installment
from Chris Martin
The "prescription for success" when using top water lures is
to remember that whenever you are chunking a top water lure, it is important
for you to immediately analyze things as they are happening.
Fishing the Texas Coast
Texas has hundreds of miles of coastline and needless to say, the Texas Gulf Coast offers plenty of opportunities for saltwater anglers to fish year
round. Fishermen can fish free of charge off rock groins, breakwaters and many other
locations along the coast for Flounder, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Sand Trout, Croaker,
Whiting, Bull Reds and Gafftop. There are also numerous public piers which charge a small
fee. Inshore bay fishing is great year-round for Trout and Redfish.
Anglers fishing a few miles offshore can look forward to Shark and
Tarpon. Fishing 15 to 40 miles offshore, anglers can catch Kingfish, Snapper, Dorado,
Shark and Cobia. From 30 to 80 miles out, prepare to battle Amber Jack, Grouper, Kingfish,
Red Snapper, Cobia, Dorado, Sailfish, Tuna and Wahoo as well as Bull, Sand, Hammerhead and
Tiger sharks. Traveling 70 to 100 miles, anglers will find Blue Marlin, White Marlin,
Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado and Sailfish.

never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling."
