The New Year started off with what appeared to be excellent conditions for fishing.
A light east wind and water temperatures in the low 50s were the norm most of the day, and our only hotspot for fishing was Moses Lake.
Norman Mason and Chad Hall fished Moses near the flood gates and landed five reds, three keepers and two throwbacks, using live shrimp for bait.
The anglers from Hitchcock completed their catch with two puppy drum, which were landed and released.
Tuesday, David Morris fished just inside the flood gates and landed a 23-inch red and several sand trout using dead shrimp for bait.
Another area that has been producing some nice pan fish is the diversionary canal below the Harborwalk Bridge.
Unconfirmed reports indicated a good concentration of sand trout and a few flounder are being found by anglers willing to fish late afternoon.
You may recall, Sunday my offshore trip 40 miles out was not productive; however, about 30 or so miles farther out, the fish were biting.
On Dec. 28, the party boat New Buccaneer fished the Claypile Bank where the 50 anglers aboard caught a variety of fish.
Among the catch brought back were 363 vermilion snapper, five amberjacks to 30 pounds, two rockhinds, two trigger fish and two Porgies.
Released were a 100-pound sandbar shark and a 40-pound blacktip.
