Extremely low water
« on: August 05, 2009, 05:44:31 PM »
  Hello all. Fishing out of Corpus Christi,Tx. I am used to windy conditions most of the time but this low water in our Laguna Madre has me baffled;I simply can't remember when it was this low.Look at any pier,piling,etc.and you see at least 2 ft.of dry barnicles and the like where the water has receded. It is rather aggravating because I am a lure-thrower and many of my favorite flats are un-fishable. However,on the upside I have learned to use dead shrimp in channels bordered by shallow flats for limits of reds and drum on every trip but I still feel funny going into a bait-stand and asking for two pounds of dead shrimp,like a tourist! Does anyone in this area know what the cause of the low water level is? I would really like to know.   Kix

Not sure, I know of  the drought down there, but cant see the sea level dropping for any length of time. here on the upper Texas coast I haven't noticed the low tides being exceptionally low. Maybe Skarke can fill us in on the galveston bay area.

it is because the ice cap and all the glaciers are melting down and sea level is rising haven't you been keeping up with all the news on global warming? ::) All that water is heading north to flood n.y.city and boston.
