There were not a lot of anglers out fishing last weekend, as threatening weather caused many to make changes in their plans.
Early Sunday, there was a window of nice conditions and those few anglers on the water at daybreak found some fair-to-good action.
Billy Martin spent the early hours of Sunday morning testing the waters around the Galveston Ship Channel for flounder.
Martin and his nephew Charles Hardy used flounder pounders, gulps and live shrimp to test the area and found a few flounder scattered along the shoreline of Pelican Island and in the area between the yacht basin and ferry landing.
Martin said they caught six or eight with only two making the cut for retaining.
Eddie Cruse sent a note describing his Saturday morning fishing trip.
“Fishing Saturday in West Bay during the morning hours produced some action for George Payne and Eddie Cruse...one keeper spec, two gaff top and two drum. All fish were caught with live shrimp over shell at Karanchua Reef inWest Bay. Monster black clouds, lightning strikes and rainbows were all around thea rea. What a day to be out on the water!”
Karen Moulten called in to say her family fished from a friend’s lighted dock on the Diversionary Canal on Saturday night where they caught four ladyfish, two croaker, a gafftop and a stingray.Peeled dead shrimp was the bait.
