Saturday the beach front continued to be the place for catching speckled trout. Greg Hagerud has been fishing the surf a lot lately and said it has been perfect for fishing the last couple of days.
Redfish and trout, along with aggressive bait stealers bluefish and lady fish, were being caught. Live shrimp was the bait of choice.
Jos Wristers noticed all of the beach front surf fishermen bringing in stringers of trout while he jogged East Beach late last week and returned the next day to give fishing a try. Using live shrimp for bait, he landed four specks and a flounder.
Bulldog’s Bait Shop reported beach-front speck action remaining hot. Flounder along with speckled trout were being caught by wade fishermen using live shrimp and croaker.
Wayne Barry of Texas City used dead shrimp to land a 15-inch drum while fishing west of the seawall Saturday.
Jason Reuter, Aunt Margie’s Bait Camp, reported that nice trout are starting to run just before the tide change in Offatts Bayou. The action is starting between 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m.
Offshore fishing continues to be excellent and Saturday morning Don Stubblefield and Sol Greenburg headed out to the area known as the broken bottom to do some trolling. Late morning the wind picked up and drove the fishermen back to port; however, before pulling in the lines, they had landed eight nice-sized kings, two Dorado to 14 pounds and several bonito.
