Your Owners of Arlington Bait and Tackle

Redfish bite has been solid this week with fish cruising the flats and staging around oyster bars. Live bait and cut mullet have been getting it done, with a few oversized bulls mixed in. Speckled sea trout action is heating up as well, especially early morning on the moving tide. Throwing soft plastics and live shrimp under a popping cork has been producing steady bites. Water temps are right where they need to be—fishing only gets better from here. - Captain Austin

Spring fishing in is in full swing, and downtown is heating up. Big bull reds are starting to show up around the bridges and deeper structure, while slot redfish are cruising the shallows for those looking to bring dinner home. Speckled sea trout have been consistent on the right tides, and flounder are beginning to stack up along drop-offs and creek mouths. As the water warms, live bait and light tackle have been the ticket for steady action and unforgettable days on the water. - Captain Austin
