Fishing Upper Texas Coast
The upper coast is bigger, browner and busier than the water south of it. You are fishing marsh drains, shell pads and the edges of working ship channels, often in a chop that throws spray the whole run. Humidity sits high enough that a wet shirt never really dries.

What to wear
Breathability over everything. A fabric that dries between drifts is the difference between comfortable and miserable on an August morning here. Long sleeves also keep the marsh off your arms.

When to go
Spring and fall are the tournament months. Summer mornings start flat and heat hard by nine. Winter pushes trout into the deeper channels and the bite gets slow and technical.
