The good news on the fishing scene is that the Galveston area dodged all of the heavy rain Monday night; however, the effects of the flooding north of here should be felt in a few days.
Tuesday morning, Richard Eberle was at the Texas City Dike at daybreak and fished the end of the dike. Using squid for bait, he landed 10 gafftop in an hour, retaining seven in the four to five pound range. A couple of larger fish broke off in the rocks as he attempted to land them.
Dean Silvers went fishing with
Bill Zimmer and Patrick Arteaga on Monday. They wade-fished the south
shoreline of West Bay, near Jamaica Beach, and caught no keepers. Then
on to Offatts Bayou where they finally found clear water.
“As you know, Offatts is nearly
always clear, even in nasty wind. Zimmer caught a nice 22-inch trout and
sheepshead behind Moody Gardens and then we headed back to Jamaica
Beach,” Silvers said.
“On the way we saw some major bird activity near Confederate Reef. There were large flocks of gulls swooping and diving (no liar birds); however, the fish were behind the reef and we could not get to them. That area should really turn on with working birds when the wind lies down.”

Last Sunday was supposed to be
another of the rainy and windy days over the Memorial Day weekend;
however, by afternoon, the rain had ceased and the wind, while still
strong, did allow some fishing from protected areas.
Jimmy Thomas took advantage of
the situation and fished the Diversionary Canal near the FM 2004 Bridge
in Hitchcock. Using dead shrimp for bait, he caught gafftop, hardheads,
croaker, drum and the highlight of his trip, a 16-inch flounder.
