Anyone have insight on saltwater fishing around Baffin Bay (near Kingsville TX)

You better know what you’re doing out there.

My ranch is 25 minutes from the launch and it can get hairy pretty quick

I’d use a guide service.

Anyone have insight on saltwater fishing around Baffin Bay

I fish down there a bunch. We stay in Port A and fish there and the LM and Baffin. Mostly June through October. In June it is a solid trout bite on croaker. Reds can be scarce but they can be found on the grass flats. I usually go with guides out of Clem's Marina which is what I highly suggest you do. I have been doing this for the last 5 years and actually know the spots now well enough to probably fish on my own.

I live about 30 miles north of Baffin Bay and will tell you, you really need local knowledge to move around . The good navigation water is the ICW. Every thing else is shallow enough to ground a flats boat. The deep areas are infested with calcified worm piles that will remove your lower unit.
The trout are monsters that frequently are oversized and need to be turned loose for breeding. I much prefer the super spook jr white topwater as a lure. The water is saline to the extent that oysters do not grow much there. Night fishing under the dock light you can catch med trout 2 at a time just like we used to do in Lake Pelto La. in the 1965 period. It will not be a meat trip. Limits are set way low

Didn’t they have a huge fish kill with the freeze recently?
