Air Temp:  70-88
Water Temp: 84
Depth:  9-32 feet
Water Clarity: very clear
Winds:  calm to 15 mph
Seas:  calm to choppy
Bait:  squid, live shrimp and cut ladyfish


I made the trip from Austin to POC with my favorite fisher girl.  She was ready for a break from school and I am always ready to get on the salt water.  The live shrimp was hard to come by on Saturday when we arrived around 10:30 AM, so we opted for some squid and then caught some ladyfish to use later as cut bait.  The ladyfish were mixed in with sheepshead, so we had fun catching both along the jetties.  Later in the day when the winds calmed, we used cut ladyfish on the back side of the jetties and my daughter caught 6 sharks and a huge sting ray.

On the second day, we used live shrimp along the rocks and had more fun catching about 35 ladyfish and sheepshead.  Several of the sheepshead were keeper size, but we rarely keep fish and decided not to this trip either.  We tried some spots for redfish, but did not find any on this trip.  It was two fun days on the water and we look forward to another break in our schedules to make another trip.
