Fishing continued to be outstanding through early Thursday. The cold front that hit about 10:30 a.m. shifted winds to the north with velocities gusting to more than 30 mph. It doesn’t appear that the effects of this latest weather system will linger and by later today conditions should start improving.

The surf continues to be alive with action. Richard Belleau reported a nice variety of fish being caught by his customers that included pompano, Spanish mackerel, whiting, gafftop, bull reds, black drum and sheepshead.

Jerry Kendrick fished the rock groins in front of Kroger early Thursday and caught a limit of sheepshead. Kendrick said the fish were right next to the rocks and tossing peeled dead shrimp with a small weight resulted in a quick limit of the “jailbirds.”

Wednesday afternoon trout action around Greens Cut was outstanding, according to Perry Sawyer of Bayou Vista. Sawyer and a fishing companion found the trout in shallow water just outside the cut and landed 13 using mullet imitation lures.

Raymond Satcher, who is visiting from Mississippi, fished the San Luis Pass area Wednesday and landed two stingrays, a large black drum and a gafftop that he estimated to weigh more than 5 pounds. Cut squid was the bait.

John Berg sent a note asking about unhooking stingrays. While many anglers just cut the line, he would prefer removing the hook.

Stingrays are not to be taken lightly. While flopping around in a boat or on a pier they still can strike with their barb. If cutting the line is not desirable, sever the tail and then remove the hook. Yes, the tail will regenerate.

Mark your calendars for the 23rd annual CCA-Texas Bay Area Chapter’s Banquet and Fundraiser. The event takes place April 17 at the Bay Area Community Center at 5002 NASA Rd. 1 on Clear Lake.
