nb&twil (1/22/2010)I got the terrible news that a LOT of snook started floating last night in some of the canals I fish down here in Corpus Christi. Unfortunately, a lot of inshore fish were hurt all across the southeast. Looks like it'll be a strictly tarpon summer for me if the resident snook numbers took such a hit.

How have the trout fared? I have read that theTexas big trout fishery could take a huge hit after a long cold spell.I hope not,let us know.

seanspots (1/22/2010)Hey freespool,how big were the dead pomps?

All sizes biggest I saw was probably a little better than 3lbs, all of them were planty legal if they had been alive

Man.. that sux. You could hardly stand to launch the boat in MS on saturday where I normally go. There were literally hundereds of dead mullet. I'm not a biologist --which prolly explains this-- but.. I wonder why it killed so many. I thought water temp was pretty constant, or at least difficult to change rapidlyat a certain depth. I figured fish would naturally find suitable water.

Interesting about the floaters, went fishing on the 15th at Blackwater. Launched at Milton, water temp was 48-47. The further downstream we went, the colder it got.By the time we hit the Yellow river area, it was 43-42. Mucho 8" mullet either barely swimming or on the banks.

Friend went fishing in C-bay the next day, he had temp readings of 52. That's from Alaqua to the E pass. But he couldn't find trout, only reds at the pass. We lucked into trout in the colder water. Go figure....

Colder to the west????

Hey Will, why do yall catch Snook and we dont? Closer to Mexico? Do they have decent numbers of Snook down there?

That sucks! I sure hope it doesn't mess the fishing up too bad.
