This weekend has been a bust for fishing so far.
Strong winds kept serious fishermen off the bays, and the offshore waters were not suitable even for the largest of the sport fishing fleet.
While
we had to sacrifice this weekend for the most part, the good news is
the Fourth of July holiday weekend looks like it is going to be a good
one for fishing conditions.
That has to be good news for local merchants, especially marina and bait camp operators.
While
there was not much activity on the fishing scene, the big news is that a
CCA-Texas Star Tournament Tagged Red was caught at San Luis Pass on
Thursday.
Roy Beck
with West End Marina called in to say he weighed in the tagged red
Friday morning and the angler is currently undergoing the qualifications
including a polygraph exam.
Beck’s
name should sound familiar to many of you who visited the Sea Isle
Marina and Richard’s On the Bay years ago as he was part owner and
operated the bait shop and convenience store.
Beck, who along with his business partner Richard Power sold the facility six years ago, recently returned to Sea Isle and is managing the operation for the new owner.
I asked Beck how he enjoyed being back in the battle and he said he especially liked being reunited with Steve Rushing, operator of the Sea Isle Bait Camp.
Rushing provided the live bait to Beck’s bait shop before the sale in 2006.
Once
conditions improve it will be interesting to see if all of the
turbulent weather offshore had any positive effects in moving the
massive amount of seaweed along the Upper Texas Coast.
It
certainly would be a big plus for the holiday weekend if we could get a
reprieve from all of the smelly stuff washing up on our beaches.
