The last few days we have been in a pattern of strong morning winds that dropped to more moderate levels during the afternoon. This scenario likely will continue until closer to the weekend when moderate southeast winds are forecast to prevail.
That should be good news to anglers planning fishing trips during the holiday weekend. The only drawback is for operators of smaller boats who want to go offshore.
Foster Malone and his grandchildren had six lines in the water baited with parts of a bonito Malone caught offshore two weeks ago. From 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., the grandkids dipped up 16 crabs from their canal dock in Crystal Beach. Most were large blue crabs.
Mabel Hanks and Esther Collins used fish heads attached to hoop nets and landed a bucket full of crabs from a pier near Hillman’s Bait Camp on Dickinson Bayou on Monday morning.
Trout are beginning to appear in the surf, and once the wind velocity drops and the beach water clears, look for some good action to take place for waders tossing live shrimp fished under popping corks or soft plastics.
Richard Belleau reported specks being caught off the 61st Street Fishing Pier late Monday and early Tuesday. A few Spanish mackerel were landed as well, and that is encouraging news for surf fishermen.
Other fish listed in Belleau’s report were sheepshead, bull reds, blacktip sharks and whiting.
