Loading tide predictions…
Tides in the Laguna Madre and Coastal Bend bays are small. Wind direction and speed usually move the water more than the predicted tide.
A Port Isabel guide says the Lower Laguna Madre fished consistently through the first half of October as mild fronts came through. Trout, redfish and snook led the catch, with a few flounder, all on topwaters and plastic worms. Live bait has been hard to come by, so plan on artificials. Early trout are on two-to-three-foot grass flats and the spoil islands along the ICW, then slide to the drop-offs and guts later in the day; most reds are in less than two feet of water.

No Brownsville or Boca Chica report with fishing detail this week; those towns lean on the Port Isabel reports.
