      I heard that was a good place to fish, I just haven't gotten a chance to try it out. That's on pelican island, right?

      Paddle tale in colors like black with a yellow tale or bright pink the best time would be in the mornings on a falling tide @stewhort57

      That makes sense. I'm going to have to plan another trip after all of this rain clears out

      A good place to start would be sea wolf park in Galveston you can fish a popping cork next to the rocks or go and wade the flat off the left side of the park with ...more a paddle tale soft plastic...

      Well some areas are good on a rising ride and others are better during a falling tide. the only way that you can truly learn the best time for an area is to spend ...more a lot of time in that area...

      Is there any specific time that is best, like when the tides are coming in or out?

      I think that my biggest problem is figuring out when and where to go @ethan_aaron12

      Retrieve for trout and reds. The second place to try would be a ditch that drains a from a marsh to a larger bay. On a falling tide the bait will come out of the ...more marsh and you can catch a lot...

      Try an area with a jetty the fish will hold near the rocks especially flounder. Cast your bait or lure parallel with the rocks not away from the rocks slowly bounce ...more along the bottom or use a faster...

      To tell the truth fishing the salt is about 10x harder than fresh and it is not so much about the lure as it is the spot or area once you find the fish you should ...more be able to catch some first I would..

      When I was down there we had to have 5+ feet of leader in shallow water so that the Reds and trout didn't feel the bobber

      Jig heads and live shrimp have worked really good for me, but a carolina rig with live or dead shrimp works well to
