Sunday, fishing conditions continued to be excellent, with the wind velocity being the only drawback.
While the direction was from the southeast, which is the best, the velocity hampered anglers’ ability to fish the open bays and certain parts of the jetties.
Gary Kowalczyk and his sons Michael and John joined me again for a trip to the jetties.
On the way, we stopped by the cedars of Pelican Island and picked up a trout and a pompano.
Those were the only fish of the many we caught that hit live shrimp.
We spent most of
our fishing time at one of my favorite spots along the channel side of
the North Jetty where shad and live croaker accounted for slot reds,
bull reds (tagged and retained), sharks and hardheads. The weather was
ideal and the fishing great.
Malcolm Mencacci and his brother Frank fished around Pelican Island on Saturday and caught two limits of reds while releasing bull reds.
Two specks to 20 inches, a 5-pound sheepshead and a black drum rounded out their catch.
The action took place using mullet and shrimp in 4 to 6 feet of water.
Pam and Rocky Vail fished the South Jetty on Friday and found the action to be the best that it has been for a long while.
Reds were prolific
and they retained their limits of slot reds. Additionally, they caught
three jack crevalle, a speckled trout, Spanish mackerel and pompano.
Saturday, the couple returned to the jetties and found the water not as clear.
Lots of ladyfish, sheepshead and gafftop were caught along with three reds and two trout that were retained.
Bobby Lakey of Bonah fished with on Sunday and landed a bull red while fishing with shad at the concrete ship.
Kevin Stephenson and Ben Stephenson fished Clear Lake on Saturday where they caught six reds and two flounder.
Julie Mims and her deckhand husband, Joe, fished the jetties where she landed a big jack crevalle using a Zebco 808 spin-cast reel.
