Christmas visitors to Galveston now are focusing their attention on fishing, as the family holiday obligations are winding down. John Wheeler of Sherman asked about the prospects for fishing this weekend, as he would like to schedule a fishing trip before returning home Sunday.
Wheeler said that he just is interested in catching something and not particularly concerned with the species of fish as long as it is good eating.
Unfortunately the outlook
for the remainder of Wheeler’s stay on the island is not promising for
fishing. The good news is that he is interested in catching something
and not particularly focused on the big three, trout, reds and flounder.
Wheeler said that he has
night fishing available from the dock of the house he is renting in
Bayou Vista and that definitely would be one of the options.
Actually, that could possibly be the best option if the dock is well-lit for fishing and live shrimp are available for bait.
The few reports that have
been received over the last week indicate slow daytimefishing, and with
the next cold front expected this weekend, that situation likely will
continue at least through the weekend.
Unconfirmed reports have
been received of some fair to good trout action under the lights at the
Crash Basin and in the canals at Tiki Island.
Richard Belleau’s
beachfront fishing report from the 61st Street Fishing Pier indicated
overall slow fishing with only a few whiting and stingray being caught.
The lack of fishing
pressure this past week and the resulting few reports failed to give us a
good indication about what is taking place on the fishing scene;
however, those that had to pass on fishing likely did not miss much.
Hang in there fishermen, once conditions settle that action will pick up.
