Well I just got my next assignment and I'll be working in Houston, TX over the winter. Anyone have any experience fishing off the Texas coast? I might want to look into a charter or two while I'm down there. Not sure what time of year and what types of fish are prevalent but I hear those oil rigs are great structure for fish.

Redfish are very similar to Stripers. Goto Cyberangler.com and look up a guide...

Screw the redfish... there be landlocked Striped bass in the resevoirs to be caught!

padre Island has some great redfish opertunities, as well as speckled seatrout.

Lake Travis has Stripers. I think that is closer to Austin though?

Oh Boy Oberto sponsers a Red Fish Tour all over the south. Texas has many of the tournys. Lots of protected inshore water.
Also big Amberjack, Cobia and groupers at the offshore rigs.

Grouper sounds great! Love to eat those fish.
