Offshore fishing continues to get the nod for best results as inshore fishing has been in a slump lately with catches not up to par with conditions. This has been particularly true with speckled trout.
Several fishing guides have told me that while they are able to find trout for their guests, they have to work hard and the number of trout caught is less than what they feel it should be. We all agreed that several factors contribute to this and once better tidal flow sets in during the day, action should pick up.
Reds have been fairly consistent, especially around the jetties when Labor Day usually signals the start of better fishing for reds, especially the larger oversized bull reds.
On the fishing scene, Brian Goodwin, his wife, Brenda, and daughter Bri’Ana fished Highland Bayou where they landed their first Texas Grand Slam. Two 16-inch trout, two reds to 23 inches and a 15-inch flounder made up their catch.
Monday, fishing the Seawolf Park area with was Savedra family from Georgetown. Their catch included bull reds, blacktip sharks and large spinner sharks. Frozen mullet and shad were the baits.
The party boat Cavalier has been returning from morning and afternoon bay trips with catches of whiting, gafftop and sharks.
Monday, the party boat New Buccaneer fished 65 miles out of Galveston and returned with a great catch including 155 vermilions, 10 kings, two amberjack, rock hind, red hind and scamp grouper along with mangrove and lane snapper
The party boat Capt. John returned from its trip to the Heald Bank area with a big catch that included two Dorado, 13 sharks, 268 spadefish, a ling, mangrove, Spanish mackerel and king.
