Fishing is beginning to pick up; however, offshore results continue to outpace inshore fishing.
Two friends joined me on a run to the vicinity of the V.A. Fogg reef Monday where we landed kings, ling, amberjack, bonito and too many pilot fish.
Capt.
Jaime Cantu ventured offshore with three guests Sunday. Their 80-mile
round-trip resulted in kings, bonito and red snapper, all released.
Calvin
Johnson and Harold Manley landed Texas Grand Slams while fishing off
Eagle Point on Monday. Using live croaker and shrimp for bait, the
anglers from San Leon landed eight speckled trout, four reds and two
flounder. Black drum and sand trout rounded out their catch.
Action
has picked up around the 61st Street Fishing Pier, according to Richard
Bellow, who reported good numbers of sand trout, sharks, black drum,
bull reds, gafftop and stingrays being caught.
