The full moon of October is upon us and for many senior flounder fishermen that signals the beginning of the prime time for flounder around the Galveston area.
While that was a good criterion to use years ago, in recent times with warmer fall weather, the best flounder action has started closer to Nov. 1 and lasts well into December.
Richard Goodwin and his sister, Glenda Romano, fished the Texas City Dike recently and caught four flounder between 3.5 and 6.5 pounds. All of the flounder were males and Goodwin was puzzled by their size as the males generally are much smaller than females.
The pattern of catching the smaller males is traditional at the beginning of the flounder run; however, Goodwin’s larger fish are a bit unusual. The recent warm winters along with ample bait have definitely had positive effects on this year’s crop of flatfish. It will be interesting to see if that pattern continues. Perhaps all of those undersized flounder that were caught and released last year at this time have put on weight.
In other fishing news, Capt. James Plaag has been hammering speckled trout lately and hopefully that is a good sign for other fishermen, like me, who have had a sparse year on specks.
Plaag and his guests have been taking limits of specks to 25 inches while fishing slicks over mud in seven to nine feet of water. Bass Assassin Sea Shads in slammin’ chicken color have been working for the deeper fish while chrome and blue She Dogs have been the ticket for topwater.
Patrick Lemire, publicist for Williams Party Boats, pointed out that this year’s special red snapper season went through last Monday, not Sunday, as I mentioned in Tuesday’s Reel Report.
The Party Boat Capt. John made a trip on the last day fishing 70 miles south of the jetties with 80 anglers on board.
