Water Clarity at the coast
Originally posted by RedBear78 View PostWent out of Sabine pass yesterday brown water to about 25 miles had to go 50 miles to get clear water.Usually brown 5 to ten and clear at 25 or 30 but with all the rain lots of dirty fresh water out there
Same here out of Freeport. From the jetties to 20 miles was chocolate. 20 to 41 was green and around 50 blue. Supposedly the Brazos river was dumping lots of chocolate water out.
This graph is water color. I believe it was from yesterday.

We've had our place in Rockport for five years now and it's the worst we've seen it. Some oldtimers say oyster dredging is part to blame and 8 months per year of hammering the reefs is finally showing. These boats work a reef until the live ones are all caught, and then move onto the next one to destroy. Oysters are the bay's filter and when they're gone, water quality greatly suffer. I quit eating oysters years ago, even though I love raw oysters.

The fishing off of and inside the jetties gets crazy when the blue water comes in. The surf will be dead, no white caps, clear blue water in the surf. We have been out on both Bob Hall Pier and Horace Caldwell Pier, when the blue water was in. Nobody was catching anything off of either pier. But around almost every piling, there were three to five large sheepshead. Good luck catching those guys. Out of three or so hours of being on one of the piers, maybe one person would land one of those many sheepsheads. We were pretty sure they snagged it. We tried everything we could to catch one, with zero luck.
But around the jetties, the fishing is crazy, when the blue water comes in. They will be catching ling, kingfish, barracuda, lots of Spanish mackerel, along with large schools of large reds and huge schools of trout.

Originally posted by RifleBowPistol View PostI lived there for 22 years. Some times I only knew of the blew water coming up into the jetties once a year, but that's with me being busy with life, I only knew of once a year. But when I fished most every week, at times, multiple times a week. During those times in my life, I saw up to three occasions a year, when the blue water would come in. So I assumed, the blue water could easily come in three times a summer and I just never saw it. For years, I only knew of it coming into the jetties once a year. It may have only been twice one summer, probably was only twice, one summer, then once a summer before or afterwards.

Talking about crazy fishing at the Jetties. This is the one I was referring to. Would be pretty awesome to be down there and have this happen.
