    Default New Water


    Decided to try Quintana for the first time today. Wind was strong, so I was limited to where I could fish. Water was muddy and the temp through most of the areas I went was about 55. Found some stained 60 degree water in some of the dead end canals and that’s where I caught my fish. Black and chartreuse hair jig tightlined 1-2 ft deep in 3-4 fow on cypress trees. Fish were scattered and they wanted it dead still. Worked hard for them, but it was a productive first trip learning the area. Finished with 8 keepers all 9-12”. Caught some smaller sacs and even picked up 2 bass. They were full of eggs so I put them back. Even caught a sac with a racing stripe! It was a good day learning new water.

    Thanks. I much rather be on Saline, but a day on any water is a good day.

    The google maps link you posted is the Quintana canal, which is the boat landing at Cypremort Point. The area I fished is the Garden City gas and oil field, known to locals as “Quintana.” Not sure that any canals in there are actually named Quintana. Maybe somebody local would be able to explain where the name came from.

    Not sure if I’m correct, but I think Quintana was the name of the energy production company that once ran the field and it stuck. This is what I was once told.
