Today is the official end of winter, and it could not come too soon for most anglers. The warmer weather ahead will be welcomed by all of us who have been confined to indoors so much of this winter.
John McMichael, manager of Seawolf Park, reported improving action on black drum. Stingrays are providing a lot of action, with most being caught from the fishing pier.
Now that spring has arrived, the park will offer all-night fishing Friday and Saturday. On April 6, the hours will increase to 24/7 and last through the summer. McMichael pointed out that generators and light sets are allowed at the park.
Wednesday morning there was a flurry of action around the causeway area on speckled trout. Sheepshead, black drum and reds also were part of the feeding frenzy.
Kyle Christianson of Tahlequah, Okla., fished the railroad bridge with his uncle Mike Kennedy of Houston and landed four specks to 19 inches, two sheepshead and a stingray. Live shrimp was the bait.
Kennedy used soft plastics and bomber baits and ended up losing most of the baits to hang ups and ended up with no fish, just a collection of debris off the bottom.
On the tournament trail, the Texas Shoot Out Chorizo Fishing Tournament Series is hosting its second trout tournament of the year Saturday. Weigh-in is at Serious Tackle in La Marque. For information, call Lee Garcia at 281-216-3215.
Most of you likely are aware that the State Fish of Texas is the Guadalupe bass. Most of those fish are found in the Colorado River near Austin, especially Austin’s Town Lake. Last week, a state record was set with a 3.71-pound fish taken from the river at a point below Austin.
We are ending on a sad note today as I pass on condolences to Capt. Johnny Williams on the loss of his wife, June. June, who also is the mother of Capt. Jill Williams, died suddenly last Saturday. The Williams family owns and operates Williams Party Boats.
