    May fishing report from Texas Middle Coast

    Despite the wind, we were blessed to walk into them on our first wade this morning. We left the dock in the dark, because I knew we had a good run ahead of us and I wanted to get to a particular stretch of shoreline before the traffic.

    A 6.75# trout at 27″ makes the grind all worth it.  We caught some solid trout today on the first few wades with a number of smalls mixed in. Then the bite slowed to a red or a couple of trout each wade.
