Our Capt. Logan 1 st Tournament, 1st place stringer! 1st place red and 1st place hard head!!! and we won the Calcutta. Thanks
Fishing was not exactly the activity of choice Saturday morning as a strong east-northeast wind was pounding the Galveston area along with threatening weather all around.
Before the arrival of the frontal system, fishing was at the top of the charts for the year.
Finally, speckled trout decided to make their move and were in a feeding mode during the calm conditions early in the week.
This
was welcome news to both the anglers able to take advantage of the
ideal conditions and those sitting on the sidelines, mainly at their
place of work, who have been concerned about the poor results on trout
this past summer.
We all are hoping that this tells us that the trout are here and that our fall fishing will be outstanding.
Speaking of outstanding, tarpon action has been about as good as it gets around Galveston.
Last
week, several tarpon guides reported some of their best catches of the
year while the water was in great shape along the beach front.
A
late report Friday came from a fisherman at San Luis Pass who hooked up
with one of the silver kings while fishing for bull reds in the surf.
The tarpon hit a live mullet and gave two leaps before tossing the hook.
Most of the guides are optimistic that tarpon will be around for several more weeks.
Night
fishing continues to be hot as anglers using free-lined live shrimp are
taking good numbers of specks and small reds from around lighted docks
and piers.
Many of the specks are undersized; however, a fair number of keeper fish are among the schools.
The
final results of the CCA-Texas Star Fishing Tournament are in and the
winner of the upper Texas Coast speckled trout category was Mike
Eckhardt of Kemah with his 9-pound, 4-ounce fish.
Eight tagged reds were caught with only four anglers qualifying for the prizes.
