Slow Fishing Amid Norther and Low Tides at Lavaca Bay
The area reports very slow fishing over several days as a norther arrived Saturday night, causing muddy water and very low tides. Port Lavaca and Port O’Connor centers note limited live bait, clean water in patches, and a few trout, redfish, flounder, or squid taken by those out when wind calms. Oysters see more effort than fishing lately.
