Between the King Ranch Shoreline and the intracoastal is a natural gut that is 4 to 5 feet deep. This is a well known hotspot and is good for trout and redfish year-round. It can be very good in the spring. Drift the deeper areas or wade the drop-offs. This area is good for wade fishing. Wade fishing can be very rewarding but can also can be dangerous for the inexperienced angler. Watch out for holes, drop-offs, soft bottoms, oyster shells and stingrays.
