Sunday, the surf was flat, and lots of wade fishermen were testing the waters for trout and other fish.
No beach front reports were in by late Sunday afternoon; however, conditions this morning certainly looked favorable for some good trout action.
Capt. Bryan Brawner
of Crystal Beach sent in his fishing report for last week, saying the
fishing conditions mainly have been dominated by wind directions and
from the pop-up storms and, of course, the tides. He said when there has
been tide movements, the fish really turn on with slicks popping and
active bait.
“As
soon as the tide quits, the slicks and bait disappear and the bite
totally stops,” Brawner said. “It is absolutely necessary this time of
year to fish around water flow movements to catch fish.”
Brawner
said as the tide goes slack in the bay, it is a good time to move to
spots like gas wells near the ship channel and oyster reefs in Trinity
Bay where there is more water flow.
“The
fish are more scattered now and we have had to stay on the move more to
stay on top of them,” Brawner said. “We have been catching specks, reds
and a few sand trout, with most trips keying on slicks and bait
activity on oyster shell in 6 to 7 feet of water.”
Brawner
said live shrimp under a popping cork have produced more fish this week
with darker soft plastics working well on redfish and smaller schools
of trout under scattered birds and pods of bait..
