Lots of good reports started arriving Saturday afternoon and while flounder continued to dominate the catches, trout action in West Bay was picking up.
Danny Dietz and Joe Vance found the upper reaches of Greens Lake to be productive for both reds and trout. Lots of both species were landed Saturday morning along with one 17-inch flounder; however, only three trout and one red passed the minimum length to retain. Texas Chicken Boys in red and white were the baits.
Paul Miller fished the causeway and railroad bridge areas landing eight specks to 20 inches using live shrimp fished under a popping cork. The action took place between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Joey Dean and a friend made a quick trip to the flats around Pelican Island on Friday and were greeted by ideal conditions.
In just more than an hour they managed to catch a few flounder, retaining only an 18-inch flatfish.
Dean said that the flounder action is slowly picking up with each passing cold front and that the big females still are not yet stacking up in the Galveston Ship Channel area. Tandem rigs with mud minnows and curly tail Gulps caught most of the fish.
Lori, the Saltwater Hooker, fished the Galveston Channel area again Friday, landing 14 flounder, all under 20 inches. The well-known flounder angler uses Flounder Pounder lures almost exclusively when going after the flatfish.
