Trick
or Trout is the slogan today; however, with the cold front making its
way through, it will have to be something other than trout being
offered.
Thursday,
two friends joined me to fish for flounder and, while our plans were to
begin with West Bay, the chilling wind and off-color water forced us to
the protected waters of the Galveston Ship Channel.
The
morning fishing was about as slow as it gets and the few other boats
fishing that area were having the same luck. Sometime close to 11 a.m.,
the tide started moving and we were able to salvage our trip with two
flounder and lots of large (12 to 14-inch) sand trout. The sandies were
hitting live mullet.
Wednesday was a better day for fishing as Sarah Melcer
tore-um-up at the jetties. Fishing her favorite spot, Abby’s Hole at
the end of the South Jetty, she landed and released six bull reds, three
huge female stingrays, four sharks to four feet, four gafftop, a sand
trout and a croaker. White squid was the bait and Melcer said she left
them biting.
Ronald Bodine fished the Bolivar area Wednesday and landed six flounder to 17 inches retaining his limit of five. Live mullet was the bait.
Richard
Belleau’s 1:45 a.m. report from the 61st Street Fishing Pier on
Thursday indicated winds out of the east at 15 knots and catches earlier
in the evening of black drum, sheepshead, bull reds, stingrays and
croaker.
Fred Silvers
fished the lights under the Causeway Bridge Wednesday night and caught
two keeper flounder along with a lizard fish, ribbonfish, stingray and
large hardhead. Live shrimp fished on the bottom was the bait.
The
early part of the weekend does not look favorable for getting on the
water with north winds forecast to be in the 15 to 20 mph range.
Protected areas should hold a variety of fish.
