Monday, conditions did not improve as much as expected, and a lingering easterly wind continued to dampen enthusiasm for fishing.
Improvement came during the afternoon and at least one angler was able to take advantage of it.
Shepherd
McKinsey of Texas City fished the causeway area using live shrimp for
bait and landed two slot reds and two nice sheepshead.
McKinsey
said the water was in excellent shape between the two bridges and that a
school of Spanish mackerel came through severing the leader on his
popping cork.
Late
Sunday, Mark Savage fished around the piers and pilings along Teichman
Road and landed two specks, a slot red and several ladyfish using live
shrimp fished under a popping cork.
Earlier in the day Savage fished near the entrance to the Crash Basin and encountered prolific action on small sand trout.
One
of the bright spots lately has been crabbing. Jerry Armand found
good-sized crabs in Moses Lake while working several lines off a dock
near The Fish Spot Bait Camp.
Chicken
necks on the end of a line attracted 15 large blue crabs. Armand said
it was the best crabbing trip he has had in several years.
Allen
Waddell and his family fished from a pier on the Diversionary Canal on
Sunday morning and landed five good-sized crabs along with a number of
croaker, whiting and hardheads all caught using rods and reels with dead
shrimp.
Richard
Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported catches of croaker,
whiting, sand trout, blacktip sharks and bull reds late Sunday.
Speaking of the 61st Street Fishing pier, Wednesday begins their month long King of Redfish Tournament.
This
is the second year for this event. Entry fee is $20 per person with
prizes awarded for the three longest reds caught during October.
