Galveston Fishing Charter Compamy
832-917-FISH (3474)
The big news on the fishing scene was trout action around the railroad bridge next to the causeway.Wednesday morning, there were three reports of excellent catches of speckled trout by anglers using live shrimp fished under popping corks.
Rudy Masterson and Joan Humphries fished their favorite hole between the two bridges and landed 12 specks to 22 inches.A large jack crevalle gave Humphries quite a fight before breaking off when the line got tangled in the concrete base of one of the utility poles.
Fred Sparks, Jimmy Scott and Bill
Walker teamed up for a combined catch of 15 specks.The fish were caught
at various locations on the north side of the bridge.A single Spanish
mackerel and two gafftop rounded out their catch for the morning.
The other report from the causeway area was unconfirmed and involved two anglers who caught several nice specks and sheepshead.
Spanish mackerel continue to roam
the beach front with the size being on the small side.Most of the fish
are attacking live shrimp with only a few being hooked.Milt Harrison
reported the action while fishing the rock groins off of 24th Street.
Personally, I have been expecting
trout action around the causeway area to break open any day now.When
checking my reports for the last nine years, they showed that at some
point in April there was a flurry of action on speckled trout and other
fish.After the first round of big catches, trout action around that part
of upper West Bay was fairly consistent during periods of good tidal
movement and water clarity.
Another area that is ripe for
turning on with speck action is around the piers and pilings along
Channelview just around the bend from the railroad bridge.
