Outstanding weather for fishing has settled in on the Upper Texas Coast, and anglers able to take advantage of the nice conditions are catching fish.

The surf and near-Gulf waters are prime for tarpon action. September is one of the best months for hooking up with a silver king, and there is little doubt in my mind that the big fish are roaming the surf and waters in Tarpon Alley.


Unfortunately, these conditions are occurring during the middle of the week in September and not many anglers are out there pursuing them.
Speckled trout continued to be caught along the beach front Sunday, and many anglers limited out. Live bait (shrimp and croaker) is the best choice.
West Bay produced some good catches Sunday. Dean Leathers and Chad Chambers fished that area and limited out on slot reds. Also added to their stringers were three specks, a sheepshead and Spanish mackerel. Several undersized black drum were among the fish released. Live shrimp and fingerling mullet fished under popping corks did the trick.
Mark Diebold and Zach Wilford fished with Reel Thrill Charters last week and caught and tagged two bull reds, each weighing 25 pounds.
Sherman Hancock was in the surf early Sunday with live shrimp and landed a full limit of specks to 19 inches by 9 a.m. Hancock said it was his best surf fishing trip in three years.
Also choosing the surf was Miles Strange, who selected the 8 Mile Road area to fish. Using live piggy perch, he landed two specks — 18 and 20 inches — along with a number of bonnet head and black tip sharks.
Action was hot and heavy on the 61st Street Fishing Pier on Sunday night.
Richard Belleau reported his customers catching 11 Spanish mackerel, 25 sheepshead, 15 black drum, and eight pompano, and several anglers caught limits of speckled trout with live bait.
