Fall fishing is on the way. This weekend a season-changing cold front is expected to cross the Upper Texas Coast and with it will come a big drop in temperatures.
Monday, it appeared that trout are ready for the change, as reflected in Capt. James Plaag’s report.
Hosting three guests, Plaag placed them into full limits of trout to more than five pounds using Slammin Chicken Sea Shads in glo with chartreuse tails. Mirrorlure She Dog topwater baits also brought in some fish.
The action came from fishing slicks over mud in six feet of water during the outgoing tide.
Tuesday, thunderstorms kept most anglers off of the water; however, Chris Foster and Donna Rowe took their tackle and rain parkas to the rocks near the Galveston Ferry Landing and fished most of the morning.
Using dead shrimp for bait, the couple from Hitchcock landed a variety of fish for a big fish fry. Included in their catch was mangrove snapper, sand trout, croaker and whiting. Two small flounder were landed and released.
Early Tuesday, customers fishing the 61st Street Fishing Pier were catching sand trout, croaker, bluefish and bull reds.
Josh Dorrell, executive director of Galveston Urban Ministries, sent a note about their upcoming fundraising event at the Galveston Fishing Pier that will run from 6 p.m. Nov. 8 to 6 p.m. Nov. 10.
It is the first annual Big Money Red Tourney with cash prizes of $1,000, $500 and $300 for first through third place. Online registration is at www.galvestonurbanministries.org., with “fishing tourney” typed in the memo line.
