Fishing was slow for the most part last weekend and the weather had a lot to do with anglers choosing to do other things besides fish.
Jose Aceves and Jesse Lopez were two anglers who decided to go ahead with their plans to fish the afternoon tide Saturday.
Fishing around the Bolivar Gas Wells, they each caught limits of reds between 26 and 28 inches along with a bunch of bull reds that were released. Several gafftop in the 5-pound range also were caught and released.
The party boat Texsun II made a trip to the South Jetty on Saturday where the guests on board landed bull reds and gafftop.
The Capt. John meanwhile made a 10-hour offshore trip with 43 fishermen aboard who landed 43 sharks, 108 spadefish, gulf trout, stingray and a 37-pound ling. The party boat will be making trips during the extended red snapper season beginning Tuesday and has space available on all of their scheduled trips.
There have been several readers who reside on canals in subdivisions mentioned for recent night time action complaining about the lack of manners and respect by visitors fishing their canals.
Among the complaints were mooring to private docks and getting off their boats, fishing from private piers, damaging underwater lights and making excessive noise late at night.
While we report night time catches around lighted areas, anglers must observe some basic courtesies while fishing around the lights belonging to others. First, you should keep a distance from the private piers and docks and never tie up to them without permission of the owner. Lots of pilferage has been blamed on uninvited guests around private docks, especially night time fishermen.
