The coldest weather of the season so far is expected this week, with the Galveston area forecasted to have a light freeze in the next few days. Strong northerly winds will add to the misery, so it probably would be best to plan other activities rather than hitting the water.
For the hardy souls who adhere to the adage of the best time to go fishing is when you can, perhaps Offatts Bayou’s Blue Hole or the deep pocket in the Moses Lake Channel would be a possibility for fish.
Sunday, water levels were
quite low in West Bay, as the latest cold front pushed a lot of water
out of the bays. Remnants of the old wagon bridge could be seen from the
Causeway Bridge, and when that occurs, you know the water levels are
low.
Late last week, there was a
window of fair fishing in Upper West Bay and while trout action is
common this time of year, flounder catches are not.
Tommy Hescock and Sterling Jones
were wade fishing late Friday afternoon in hopes of landing an early
season wall-hanger trout and ended up with three flounder to 19 inches.
Sea Shad Bass Assassins were the bait, and the action came from the
spoils of the Intracoastal Waterway, just south of Harborwalk.
The anglers were fishing
one of the best times of the day for a trophy trout, and while not a
single speck hit, the flounder were a surprise and a bonus since both
anglers missed last year’s annual flounder run.
You may recall that last
January I caught my first flounder ever during January while drift
fishing Upper West Bay between Mecom’s and Green’s Cuts.
Most of us are aware that
not all of the flounder leave to the deep waters of the Gulf during the
annual migration, and apparently this year there are a good number of
flat fish remaining in the bays.
