When will we be getting some relief from this plaguing wind? If the forecast holds, the latter part of this week the velocities should drop to levels more tolerable for fishing. Hopefully the south wind that is in the forecast will lean more to the east than the west which would help clear the bays and beach front.
Sunday, Kevin and Misty Powers of Henderson, along with their daughters Madi, 8, and Ali, 10, joined me for a full morning of fishing the jetties. Our first target was the Gulf side of the South Jetty; however, off-color water there forced a switch of plans and we headed to the Gulf side of the North Jetty.
Anchored close to the end
of the rocks we had a fair catch of sharks and sand trout. It was there
that the big excitement took place when Madi hooked a really big fish
that continued moving as the drag on her reel kept being tightened until
it spooled the line off. She could only speculate as to what she
hooked.
Another stop along the rocks on the channel side near the boat cut resulted in sheepshead and lady fish.
Dean Silvers
got off to a good start fishing Saturday morning when he woke up and
spotted a 27-inch red around his underwater lights. A free-lined shrimp
was too irresistible to the big fish and Silvers had his first fish of
the day. Later, he took his son Ben and David Giraldi
to fish the structure near the Bolivar Ferry Landing where they caught
13 sand trout, three specks, two sheepshead and a nice mangrove.
Galveston Fishing Pier reported lots of bull reds and a few catfish being caught Saturday night.
The Party Boat Capt. John
made a 30- mile trip offshore Saturday where the 78 anglers aboard
landed 50 sharks, 91 spadefish, two kings to 24 pounds, two stingrays
and two bluefish.
