Redfish
The waters around Bay City, Texas, offer excellent opportunities for pursuing Redfish, especially in the brackish estuaries and marshes. What makes this location unique is the vast network of shallow bays and backwaters where reds thrive. Focus on the changing seasons; spring and fall are prime times as the fish move in and out of the bay systems with the tides. Look for areas with oyster beds and grassy shorelines, as these provide cover and attract baitfish. A practical tip for Bay City is to utilize the numerous boat ramps along the Colorado River, giving you access to a wide range of fishing spots. Pay attention to water clarity, as reds can be skittish in clear water. Natural presentations, such as live shrimp or crab under a popping cork, are often the most effective.
