About this listen

Howdy, y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to gal for all things fishin' down here in the Rio Grande Valley. It's February 2nd, 2026, and we're kickin' off the day at 8:32 AM with a wintery bite that's got folks talkin'. Weather's lookin' cool and pleasant per the National Weather Service Brownsville report—southeast winds 10-15 knots on the bay, moderate chop, highs in the low 70s, perfect for bundlin' up without freezin'. Sunrise hit around 7:20 AM, sunset 'bout 6:10 PM, givin' us solid daylight for solunar peaks from the Feb 1st Rio Grande Valley Fishing Report—major bites likely 11 AM-1 PM and minor around 6-7 AM.

Tides from NOAA Tides & Currents at nearby stations: expect low around 3-4 AM at 1.5-3 ft, high mid-mornin' 6-8 ft, droppin' to low afternoon—fish the incomin' for best action. Fish are active in this winter pattern; that Feb 1st report highlights big catches on prime solunar periods, with Rio Grande Cichlids and Blue Tilapia haulin' in steady—recent all-tackle records from TPWD show 0.75 lb Rio Grande Cichlids and Tilapia up to 10 inches caught late last year on rod and reel. Cats and bass are pickin' up too, especially below dams where flows boost the bite per old NPS notes.

For lures, go with 6.5-inch soft plastic worms like Missile Baits Quiver Worm in natural colors—deadly for finicky bass in cover or drop-offs. Live bait? Shrimp or worms hands down for cichlids and cats. Hot spots: Town Lake at Firemen's Park in McAllen for easy access, rentals, and catch-and-release action; and the Rio Grande stretches near Brownsville beaches for tidal runs.

Get out there safe, check your Texas license, and tight lines!
