We are in that time of year when most inshore fishermen feel that fishing is best.  Mid-October through Thanksgiving is the time and, while conditions lately have not been the best for fishing, something out there is feeding.

We have mentioned that the east wind this week has handicapped fishing; however, it has not shut things down.  For example Bill Zimmer and Fred Grube of Jamaica Beach fished San Luis Pass Monday and got into hot bull red action.  The anglers caught 10 with only one falling into the legal slot and it barely made it, measuring 27 inches.  The remainder of the catch had to be released.

Jessie Hamilton and his friend Barry fished the Causeway Bridge area Monday night with Hamilton landing four croaker, a whiting and a sheepshead, while his friend caught four croaker, two sand trout and an undersized red that was released.

The golden croaker run is on and now the big ones are beginning to appear around Rollover Pass.

  

Harvey Kemp fished the pass Monday night and caught six with the largest measuring 15 inches. 

 Kemp said that he believes that croaker are ready to make their run through the pass and that by next week the action should be outstanding.
