That Time of Year Black Drum Run
$450.00 for 4 People 5hrs.
Wind gusts to over 40 mph were pounding the Galveston Bay Complex Thursday afternoon and it appears that fishing will be wiped out for a few days. Although more pleasant conditions are in the forecast for this weekend, water levels and clarity likely will present an obstacle to fishing.
Soon, January will be behind us and we can start looking for the appearance of big drum around the jetties. The annual black drum run, along with trophy trout time, will be two of the highlights of February.
During windows of fishable
conditions, the fish are here and are biting, as was evidenced by the
action on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Mark McDavid
took his surf fishing gear to the beach front Monday and went after one
of his favorite fish, whiting. The tally for his morning of fishing the
surf was 25 good-sized whiting.
On the same day, Tommy Coughlin and his fishing buddy Ken Lange
fished Big Pasture Bayou and caught several nice specks. Lange landed
an 18-inch flounder as they were about to leave. Coughlin said the water
temperature in the bayou was in the low 50s.
Until we see how this cold
front affects the bays as far as water levels and clarity are concerned,
it is difficult to predict where the best prospects for action will be
this weekend.
Most likely, deeper pockets
of water will be the key to finding fish. Offatts Bayou and canals off
the Intracoastal Waterway, along with deep channels, most likely will be
the best bets.
With the calm to light winds in the forecast, night fishing could be one of the better choices.
