The recent cold front has passed through and a return to southerly winds followed. The effects of the front should be minimal as the water in the bays should return to normal and the warming trend should continue to push water temperatures up.

This weekend looks to be good for fishing. Possibly weaker tides for the next few days could be a drawback; however, for anglers pinned up for weeks because of poor conditions, get ready to get back into the battle.

An encouraging report came from the 61st Street Fishing Pier where Richard Belleau reported continued action on whiting, sheepshead and bull reds. This came with a north wind blowing at 15 mph early Friday.

Prior to the arrival of the cold front, action had been hot in the surf and around the jetties. Jack crevalle were making a run around the end of the South Jetty late Wednesday and provided a challenge to Mark Williams who was fishing for large black drum and bull reds.

Williams had three hits from the large jacks and as he put it the action wore him out. Fortunately he was using the appropriate equipment to handle the tough fish. Cut mullet was the bait.

A reader sent a note in response to my comments about severing stingray tails before trying to remove the hooks. He pointed out that the tail will not regenerate, only the barb if it is all that is removed.

This year’s Point Tournament for the Physically Disadvantaged is in need of more boats and captains.

 Currently 80 are committed and they need close to 115. The tournament is set for April 11 at the Galveston Yacht Basin and should there be an abundance of boats, there is a side competition for boats without participants. If you can help, contact Dutch Kueteman at bone
