Laguna Madre, Texas: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Brooks County end of Texas holds Laguna Madre. The water sits 102 feet up. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. On size it sits at the modest end of our Brooks County list. Falfurrias sits 4.2 miles from the bank. Further out sit Premont (13 miles) and Ricardo (25 miles). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Laguna Madre

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Read Laguna Madre before you fish it and the day goes better. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 85°F and January near 56°F. The season is continuous, with heat as the only real check. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Expect Laguna Madre to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Hauser Lake, 2.3 miles away. Nothing on Laguna Madre should be assumed from this page alone.
