Until we get relief from the east wind, fishing likely will continue on the slow side. The good news is that this weekend a shift is in the forecast and by Sunday southerly winds should be taking over.
Most of the better catches lately have come from the beach front where bull reds, large croaker, sharks and a variety of pan fish are being caught.
Bulldog’s Bait Shop sent in a couple of good surf reports along with one from the Pelican Island area.
Ten-year-old Cavance Holmes landed a 23-inch red while fishing the beach front using dead shrimp for bait.
Mike Riggins used fresh crab to land, tag and retain a 40-inch bull red.
Cut bait was Keith Hogan’s choice for fishing the surf and it produced a 40-inch jack crevalle and a three-foot blacktip shark.
Bulldog’s also reported a flounder being gigged near the Texas A&M-Galveston campus that hit the scales at over 10 pounds.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street
Fishing Pier, reported his customers landing mostly blacktip sharks,
bull reds, croaker, sand trout and whiting.
Bill Stevenson and Roger
Smallwood worked Moses Lake Wednesday trying to land some flounder.
No flounder answered the call; however, they did manage several reds with only one of legal size.
Live fingerling mullet was the bait.

Maurice Bulla called in to say
that he feels that the east wind and poor tidal movement are the
culprits for the slow flounder action lately. Bulla and his fishing
buddy Hal Harper fished the debris many call the barge grave yard just
west of the Bolivar Ferry Landing.
Three undersized flounder and one
measuring 15 inches was their catch for the morning Tuesday.
Fingerling mullet and Gulps were the baits.
Conditions have not been
favorable for fishing the jetties this week; however, by weekend look
for action to pick up with the forecast wind direction change.
