A moderate to strong south wind did its job to slow down fishing Saturday. Anglers fishing protected waters had mixed results, while those fishing Friday night had the best results.
Greg Hagerud was back fishing the East End surf Saturday morning and, while conditions were rough and the water sandy, it was fishable. Hagerud found drum, reds, whiting and a few specks in knee- to waist-deep water. Live shrimp was the bait.
Charles Edwards, Fred Griffith and William Armor fished the shoreline of Pelican Island, working their way from the bridge to Seawolf Park, and caught a variety of fish including mangrove snapper, sand trout, black drum, ribbonfish and whiting.
Tony Sandlin reported the waters around the North Jetty too choppy and off-color to fish and ended up finding protected water around the shoreline between the Galveston Yacht Basin and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ docks.
Fishing with Robert Kuykendall, the anglers used live shrimp to land five flounder — three were undersized and released. Lots of sand trout were landed and released along with lots of piggy perch.
Mark McDavid fished Offatts Bayou on Saturday morning and landed 30 sand trout while fishing from his kayak.
Night fishing seems to be the best choice for catching trout this weekend. Mike Ramsey reported good numbers of small specks appearing under the lights of Tiki Island.
Several reports, although unconfirmed, of specks being taken under the lights came from Bayou Vista and Cold Pass.
