Holiday visitors finally got a break in the weather on Labor Day.
Conditions settled to the point that anglers were able to make it to their favorite fishing holes with added good news: The fish were biting.
Live shrimp were in short supply Monday, with many bait camps running out by 8 a.m.
The break in the weather was too much to pass up for me and my better half, so soon after daybreak we were off to the races.
We
were among the fortunate anglers who found live shrimp late morning and
ended up fishing a number of spots from the Bolivar Gas Wells to the
jetties and the Galveston Ship Channel.
The only area holding specks was the gas wells where we picked up four.
The North Jetty was alive with reds, and our stop there resulted in two slot reds and a puppy drum.
Wave
action increased and forced us to the Galveston channel, where lots of
rat reds were feeding along the cedars of Pelican Island.
Good-sized bull whiting also were hitting.
Overall, it was a good day on the water, and we have some nice filets for a few meals.
Dan Gessner, who is visiting from South Korea, had a successful morning of wade fishing West Bay on Monday near San Luis Pass.
A 20-inch slot red and 22-inch trout were his catch for the morning.
Dean
Silvers and his son Ben hosted Sam and Carl Adkins to a fishing trip
Sunday where they landed 11 specks, three sand trout and two black drum
while fishing near a structure along the ship channel near Bolivar.
Silvers said they tried the jetties and found the water too rough for comfort.
Sunday, the party boat Capt. John made a 10-hour offshore trip 35 miles east of the jetties.
The 83 anglers aboard returned with a catch that included 297 spade fish, sharks, lane snapper, Gulf trout and blue fish.
