Thursday’s heavy rains continued to help balance the salinity in the bays and marshes, while the accompanying frontal system dropped temperatures which ultimately will result in lower water temperatures.
Both effects will be good for fishing. Conditions improved rapidly as the wind dropped quickly after the frontal passage and by morning good conditions existed for fishing.
Unfortunately, the thunderstorms and high winds of Thursday caused many anglers to cancel fishing plans for Friday.
One of the more productive spots Friday was around the causeway and railroad bridges, which yielded some nice trout and flounder Friday morning.
While reports were sparse Friday, Jerry Jennison called in his report from a late morning of fishing the wall at the base of the railroad bridge where he landed five trout, three keepers and two throwbacks along with three flounder, retaining his bag limit of two and releasing the third. All of the flatfish were in the 16- to 18-inch range.
Betsy Hatherill of Spanish Grant had a nice morning of fishing near her subdivision, where she landed a large flounder.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported calm winds around 1:30 a.m. on Friday morning with catches of sheepshead, gafftop, croaker and bull reds being made by his customers.
An unconfirmed report was received of good catches from the rock groins near the Pleasure Pier.
