If you live in the Galveston area, there is little need to say that fishing was a washout Thursday.
Strong easterly winds prompting small craft advisories along with heavy rain kept anglers away from the water.
Fortunately improved weather is on the way; however, a nagging easterly wind still is in the forecast.
Wednesday
night there was a lot of activity in the surf. Jerry Selman fished the
13th Street Rock Groins and landed two bull reds along with a sheepshead
and a stingray.
Farther
up the beach front, customers fishing the 61st Street Fishing Pier were
landing blacktip sharks, bull reds, sand trout, whiting and specks.
The
weather has been a bit rough for jetty anglers lately; however, 3-G
Bait Camp at the Galveston Yacht Basin reported catches of reds and sand
trout by anglers able to endure the elements at the rocks.
More
flounder catches from the back bays are being reported. Chris Shell and
Guy Erickson fished near the mouth of the Diversionary Canal Wednesday
and landed six flounder ranging from 13-inch undersized flatfish to a
21-inch sow. Live shrimp was the bait.
Saturday,
The Texas Tail Chasers are having their third annual charity fishing
tournament. This event benefits the Sunshine Kids Foundation and takes
place at TopWater Grill located at 815 Avenue O in San Leon.
This
tournament attracts wade fishermen, kayakers and boaters. The entry fee
is $300 per team and each team is allowed up to four anglers.
Weigh-in begins at noon with well-known weighmaster Ed Matthews weighing in the fish.
For more information call Jimmy New at (832) 576-3773.
For
the upcoming weekend, wind will be the key to fishing. If we get a
break from this current pattern of sustained east/northeast wind, look
for fishing to pick up.
