Good reports came in from anglers fishing East Bay and shell pads off the Houston Ship Channel out of San Leon.
The jetties are producing a good variety of fish; however, it just seems that there is a shortage of summertime jetty trout this year.
Weyland Manning and Smitty Smith
fished Deep Reef and Hanna’s Reef in East Bay early Thursday and landed
15 trout to 20 inches, along with two slot reds and a bull red that was
released. The anglers used Bass Assassins and Norton Sand Eels for
bait.
Purvis Easley
reported good results from his trip to the shell pads around wells
across the ship channel from San Leon. Easley and a friend landed nine
specks, five large sand trout, a flounder and a jack crevalle using live
shrimp bottom bumped. The action did not get underway until close to 10
a.m.
Along the beach front, Richard Eberle
found lots of sharks in the surf near 43rd Street. The predators were
feasting on thick concentrations of shad and mullet. After landing a
6-foot spinner shark and a 4-foot blacktip, Eberle called it quits as he
was after bull reds, not sharks. Lots of seaweed was in the area as
well.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported catches of gafftop, croaker, sand trout, whiting and blacktip sharks.
Terry Thompson
drift-fished about 5 miles off the beach front Thursday morning and
jumped a nice-sized tarpon that quickly spit the hook. Besides the
excitement of the tarpon encounter, Thompson landed and released five
sharks to more than 6 feet long and several huge gafftop.
Sells Newsome
and four friends fished on the charter boat Wild Wind on Wednesday and
landed full limits of kings, two ling to 28 pounds and several large
sharks that were released.
Today, 2014-15 state of Texas fishing licenses are available.
Most fishing licenses expire Aug. 31, so beat the last-minute rush and get yours before Labor Day weekend.
