dfowls - I was born in Port A and moved from the Corpus area about 4 years ago and I have to say it's just not the same. I can look at the surf, flats, piers, jetties and just know when and where to catch the fish, here I haven't a clue. I've gone out countless times to areas that if I went to in Port A I'd have loaded up, but here maybe get a couple.
The best I've done on reds is wading the little flats before you go across the bridge, but I'm kind of limited on locations since I don't have a boat. The jetties and piers have been pretty dissapointing, so i just stay away from them. The nice thing I can say about this area is that you really don't have to buy bait. Almost anywhere you cast you can pick up some shrimp, mud minnows, and finger mullet. Let me know if you find a good place for some reds and trout b/c I'm still looking for that sweet spot!
