About Oso Bay

Tucked into Texas, United States, Oso Bay is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Oso Bay should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Red drum

  When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.

• For Spotted seatrout

  Look for areas with current and structure, such as points, oyster bars, and grass edges, as spotted seatrout often ambush prey in these locations.

• For Black drum

  Black drum often feed near the bottom, so use a Carolina rig or fish a jig slowly along the structure.
