Fishermen unable to take advantage of near-perfect conditions the last few days have missed out on some excellent fishing.
Wednesday evening, the water along the beach front was in excellent condition, and Brandon Rowan of League City headed straight for Galveston after work.
His first stop was the rock groins along the seawall where he found the water alive with Spanish mackerel.
Using mullet for bait, he landed two and lost several big ones to severed lines.
Two flounder, a keeper and a throwback, rounded out his catch from the surf.
After sunset, Rowan moved to his favorite gigging spot in West Bay; and while the tide level was high, he managed two more flounder, both 16 inches in length.
Night fishing continues to be excellent with trout and reds feeding on bait attracted by fishing lights.
George Watkins caught a limit of reds and three trout fishing the lights of a canal off the Intracoastal Waterway between Bolivar and Crystal Beach. Free-lined live shrimp was the bait.
