Our weekly guide to action at favored angling spots FISHING FORECAST

DON’T LET A SLIGHT chance of rain over the weekend keep you from what is a strong weekend of fishing. Everywhere you go, there is trout to be had, but sand trout are good in both Texas City and Freeport, while Trinity Bay is a good spot for redfish. As usual, live bait is effective, yet soft plastics and topwaters are producing solid results in a variety of outlets.
BOLIVAR: Trout are good on the outgoing tide at Rollover Pass on soft plastics and mullet. Redfish are good in the marsh with higher tides.
TRINITY BAY: Trout are fair for drifters working pods of shad and mullet on soft plastics. Redfish are good along the north shoreline on gold spoons and Gulps with high tides. Trout are fair to good on shrimp near the Spillway.
