A late-season flurry of action is taking place with speckled trout along the beach front.
Conditions ripened for some hot fishing in the surf when the wind calmed.
Contrary to other times this summer when such conditions resulted in marginal catches, this time, the bite is on.
Several
reports from the weekend indicate that specks are roaming the surf, and
anglers using a variety of baits, especially live shrimp and croaker,
are taking good numbers of the prized fish.
Robert Emanuel
of Port Neches fished the 17th Street Rock Groin on Friday afternoon
and used up a pound of dead shrimp to catch a couple of specks and a
large variety of pan fish.
He returned Saturday morning with live croaker for bait and caught a limit of specks and large sand trout.
Emanuel said the water was the best he has seen in a while but still infested with seaweed.
Recently, Jose Aceves
sent in a report of the prolific action he encountered on speckled
trout at night off Bolivar. Friday night he returned to the spot with
his wife Juanita and brother Mike. Expecting another evening of nonstop action on specks, reds showed up instead.
Within
two hours, they hooked up with at least 15, landing six keepers to 28
inches. Live shrimp, cut bait and gulps were the baits.
The Texas City Dike continues to produce some nice hauls of pan fish. C.J. Saddler fished the dike and landed sand trout, croaker and whiting.
Saturday,
the party boat Capt. John made a 30-mile trip east-southeast of the
jetties where 80 guests landed a variety of fish including spadefish,
bonnet head sharks, sharpnose sharks, king mackerel, ling and stingrays
to 125 pounds.
