Sunday, the wind velocity dropped and shifted to a northerly direction which, hopefully, will result in the return of southeasterly breezes for the big holiday weekend ahead.
If the extended forecast holds, it appears that fishing conditions will be excellent for Fourth of July visitors. Both offshore and inshore winds are predicted to be light and that is good news for a lot of anglers.
On the offshore scene, seas were calming Sunday and this week looks like a good one to venture past the jetties.
Luis Decker, Aunt Margie’s Bait Camp reported Aaron Young
of Keller landing a 36-inch red snapper while fishing aboard one of
Galveston Party Boat’s vessels. No mention of when Young caught his
fish, hopefully it was before last Saturday as he could have retained it
then.
Red snapper season in federal waters closed at midnight last Friday. A cigar minnow was used to catch the big sow.
Sunday,Chris Helstrom of Austin along with David Helstrom and Larry Gray
of Houston to a productive fishing trip at the South Jetty. Using cut
mullet for bait, the anglers caught their limit of bull reds, several
nice gafftop and sharks up to six feet long.
Brenda Rilat, Lee’s Bait and Tackle at the Texas City Dike, reported a nice catch by Greg Chapa, Dog Maxwell and Elvin Maxwell.
Elvin Maxwell is one of the leaders in the Texas City Tackle Time
Fishing Tournament. Using live shrimp for bait, the anglers caught seven
trout, three sheepshead and a flounder while fishing the south side of
the dike.
Henry Helbros
hit the water before daybreak outside of Sea Isle and fished the grassy
area east of the fishing pier where he landed a 27-inch slot red and
several throwbacks using pearl colored Norton Sand Eels with chartreuse
tails.
