The bite is still good. Landed 7 so far. The biggest about 18 inches. There is ice down at the southern end which makes me happy. Hopefully the temperature will stay cool. As for the boat ramp. It looks pretty icy.

It was a real good couple hours out there. My phone said the temperature was 18 degrees when I left. There were only 2 other people there when I was leaving.
The fish seemed to like garlic rainbow power bait about 2 feet off the bottom. They didnt want to touch anything else.
Here are the pictures and some of the ice that is forming.

They had one last year but due to the issue of last year I am not sure if that is going to go.
There was a sign at the guard shack tha says there will be tagged fish in Rockport. Apparently the contest goes from 1 january to 15 march. That is all that it says about it on Rockports DWR page.
