Lots of fishing took place during the weekend, and a few anglers had some good results to report.
With the bays still plagued by the adverse effects of the wind, several anglers headed offshore to fill their fish boxes.
Brenda Rilat, Lee’s Bait and Tackle, reported a catch of eight trout and five reds by customers A.B., Bill and Ray, who fished the south side of the dike using live shrimp for bait.
Barbara Garibaldi, Louis’ Bait Camp, had the Kayak Chicks launch at her facility Sunday and return with a nice catch of specks and reds.
Also fishing out of Louis’ was Joe Moushon, inventor of Chicken Boy Lures. Moushon, who lives in Bayou Vista, landed a 26-inch speck.
Along the beach front,
the sandy water is producing sand trout, whiting, bull reds and sharks
for customers of the 61st Street Fishing Pier.
Now, for where the big catches are taking place.
Sunday, Jay McDougal, his son Austin and father, Michael,
offshore where the guys caught king mackerel, a 50-pound ling. The
highlight of the trip, a sailfish, put on a dance for the family.
The party boat New
Buccaneer made an eight-hour trip 35 miles offshore Sunday where the 89
passengers landed 154 vermilions, three blue runner, 10 spadefish, 37
red mouth grunts, a barracuda and several other species of fish
including rockhinds, lane and mangrove snapper.
Friday’s offshore trip included a 150-pound bull shark.
Sunday’s offshore trip by
the party boat Capt. John included 83 anglers fishing 30 miles south of
the jetties where they landed 190 spadefish, 44 sharks, 12 blue runner,
three kings, 24 bluefish and a variety of others including whiting,
Gulf trout, rainbow runners, black drum, mangroves and a ling.
