It seems that there is always something we can find as an excuse for not catching fish and currently it is weak tidal movement that is slowing action during the day. Weak tides are associated with the first and last moon quarters or half-moon phases as they are commonly called.
Thursday I worked the North Jetty most of the morning and, with the slack tide that set in around 9 a.m., nothing was biting. Only a lone gafftop in the four pound range was caught, and I’m not sure whether the hit was out of hunger or retaliation toward the live shrimp.
Bobby Martin of Bayou Vista and
his guests Donald Box and John Majewski found the fishing slow Wednesday
morning; however, that afternoon they hit the North Jetty where they
found action on reds and Jack crevalle.
Martin said that during the
afternoon trip they ran into a school of redfish in a feeding frenzy off
the Bolivar beach front in eight feet of water. Reds were jumping out
of the water chasing baitfish and it was a sight to behold.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street
Fishing Pier, reported excellent night fishing from the pier. Croaker,
bull reds, sheepshead and speckled trout all were being caught during
the late evening by his customers.
East Bay was the only area where
daytime trout activity seemed to be taking place. Horace Hemphill and
his wife, Sonya, fished the area around Deep Reef early Wednesday and
landed 16 specks to 20 inches in length. Soft plastics in dark colors
with pink or chartreuse tails were the baits.
Capt. Paul Stanton and a crew of
two hosted eight customers aboard Aqua Safari’s Island Girl on Wednesday
and found the fish biting 22 miles from the jetties. Bump trolling
Spanish sardines, the guests landed 20 kings, two sharks, a jack
crevalle and numerous red snapper that were released.
