Sheepshead and sand trout were the only fish reported to be biting the past couple of days.

Willem Basson, who is visiting from Pongola, South Africa, caught three of the “jailbirds” while fishing from a friend’s dock on Offatts Bayou on Monday.

Ted Westerman fished from the 61st Street launching ramp Monday night and landed four sand trout using dead shrimp for bait.

Oscar Knight and Frank Miller fished Moses Lake on Tuesday and found the action on the slow side. Their tally for the morning was two sand trout, both caught on live shrimp fished on the bottom.

Last Saturday, Capt. Jill Williams hauled 55 anglers out to the Old Buccaneer Field area aboard the party boat Capt. John. Fishing in near perfect conditions in green water under light winds, the group landed 110 red snapper to 13 pounds along with black drum and Gulf trout.

Looking at the forecast at press time Tuesday, it appears that today and Thursday might present a couple of windows of good conditions for fishing. Look for speckled trout to make an appearance in fishing reports as the fish should be feeding in upper West Bay. Black drum, reds and sheepshead likely will be good bets for action around the jetties.
