Fishing continues to be adversely affected by an east wind; however, as the week progresses velocities are forecast to drop and a switch to a more southerly direction is called for the latter part of this weekend.
The good news is that once the wind drops or switches direction, we are in the new moon phase with good tidal movement.Flounder action should resume and my guess is that more of the flatfish are going to be found along the pathways to the Gulf.
One of the first spots for
flounder to gather when the move is in full swing is along the Galveston
Ship Channel from the Pelican Island Bridge to Seawolf Park.This
weekend expect to see large numbers of boats anchored all along Pelican
Island if the wind is at tolerable levels.
Not much has been reported on
speckled trout lately and that has some fishermen worried.The lack of
reports does not surprise me, as conditions just have not been favorable
for specks.
This weekend just might be a good
one for finding specks in the bays chasing shrimp with seagulls
pointing them out.Last week reports indicated that shrimp were leaving
the marshes and migrating through the open bays.Each year when that
takes place speckled trout action busts wide open, especially for
anglers chasing slicks and following the birds.
You might recall that last year
was a disappointing year for anglers fishing the flounder run.Many days
were just not fishable and once conditions settled flounder action was
not up to par.
Several seasoned flounder
fishermen felt that the fish migrated at night due to the more favorable
tides occurring during the evening hours.
Whatever the answer, we all hope to see a good run this year with anglers easily taking their limits of flatfish.
