While beachgoers are finding conditions not as pleasant as they hoped for with the cloudy skies, cool temperatures and cold water, anglers are finding the fish to be biting.
While we are edging into temperatures in the 60-degree category, the water temperature still is in the high 50s to low 60s, a bit cold for comfort while wading without insulated waders.
Still, the fish are cooperating.
Capt. Jaime Cantu found the
jetties alive with action Wednesday. His charter landed good numbers of
bull reds and sheepshead with many in the eight to 10-pound category.
Free-lined live shrimp was the bait and the bite was on all day.
Jason Reuter, Aunt Margie’s Bait
and Seafood, reported a customer returning from West Bay with five trout
more than 20 inches in length and another customer with two slot reds.
The trout hit live shrimp while the reds preferred dead shrimp and shad.
Hanna’s Reef in East Bay was the
site of some good fishing early Wednesday. J.L. Loftis and Percy Moore
used live shrimp to take nine specks to over five pounds along with two
puppy drum and a huge stingray.
Milton Howard and a friend drift
fished over shell in lower East Bay and landed six specks to 19 inches
and two slot reds to 24 inches using a variety of soft plastics
including Norton Sand Eels and TTF’s with light colors doing the trick.
The best baits had chartreuse tails.
