Fishing Coastal Bend
This is the sight-fishing stretch. Grass flats, sand potholes and water clear enough that you are hunting individual fish rather than covering water. That means standing on a platform in full sun for hours, and it means glare management is part of the tackle.
What to wear
Light colours and a hood. Dark sleeves radiate heat back at you on a flat with no breeze, and a hood cuts the reflected glare that comes off the water into the side of your face.
When to go
The flats fish best from March through November. Late summer brings tarpon to the passes. January and February are cold and clear, which is ugly to stand in and excellent for spotting fish.
