West Bay is holding a good number of flounder of all sizes. This is a typical pattern during the early part of the annual flounder run.
Hank Loftis and his wife, Jen, fished the mouth of Carancahua Lake early Wednesday and landed five flounder from 15 to 21 inches in length. A lone slot red rounded out their catch. Live fingerling mullet was the bait.
Starvation Cove was the site of a
nice flounder catch by Merle Raymond and Pete Clairwood. The anglers
caught seven, five keepers to 18 inches and two throwbacks. Live shrimp
fished under popping corks in two feet of water did the trick.
Lori, better known as the
Saltwater Hooker, fished with Flounder Pounder manufacturer Phil Ortiz
on Wednesday and landed six flounder, three throwbacks and three
keepers, that included 21 and 23-inch fish. The action came from West
Bay on Flounder Pounders.
Darrell Moore fished Seawolf Park
on Wednesday and landed two flounder, both keepers, measuring 15 and
15½ inches. Lots of sand trout were caught and released as well. Dead
shrimp was the bait.
Ronald Bodine reported a catch of
14 golden croaker and a slot red by Eloise Lawrence. No mention of
where the action took place.
The party boat New Buccaneer made
an overnight trip 100 miles offshore last Sunday with Captains Smitty
Smith and Cody Carter sharing duties at the helm. Kayla Garza reported
that 49 anglers on board landed a wide variety of fish including 375
blackfin tuna, 19 yellowfins, 645 vermilion snapper, a Warsaw and six
other grouper, along with big eye tuna, squirrelfish and rainbow
runners.
I am sad to report that we lost
another of our long-time saltwater fishermen last week. Melvin Sondock,
more commonly known as “Soupy”, passed away at his home in Houston.
Soupy loved to fish the Galveston area and will be missed by all of his
fishing friends here.
