Sunday night, one of the more prolific bull red runs of the season took place along the beachfront. Fishermen from Crystal Beach to San Luis Pass were reporting lots of bull reds being caught and released.
John Wiley of Gilchrist experienced one of the best runs of reds in the surf Sunday evening that he has experienced.
Wiley, who has been fishing the Galveston Bay complex for 40 years, said that Sunday’s action was the best yet.
Using whole mullet with the heads cut off, Wiley hooked up with at least two dozen of the big fish, losing about half and landing and safely releasing the remainder. “What a way to end the weekend,” he said.
Richard Belleau, who reports for the 61st Street Fishing Pier, said that his customers landed more than 72 bull reds Sunday evening along with lots of croaker and Spanish mackerel.
Paul Henderson found lots of bull reds in the surf off Terramar Beach on Sunday.
Using live piggy perch for bait fished under a cork, he landed nine, along with several sharks. All of the fish were released.
While bull reds dominated the fishing reports for Monday, flounder continue to make the news.
James Johnston and his friend, Ronnie Joe, took Johnston’s boat, Fear No Fish, to the Texas City Dike on Sunday and landed three large flounder and a 24-inch red.
