This week, the Reel Report will be coming from New
England where I am on a fishing vacation.
Today it is from Rockland,
Maine, where the temperature is running from the mid-50s to mid-60s.
While
surveying the fishing scene back in Galveston, I mentioned this to
several of my contacts and was greeted with a “boo” as it still is
sweltering back home.
Anglers
had a break this past weekend with lighter winds, although still from a
south to southwest direction. Most of the action reported came from
offshore boats, and from their reports, action is hot and heavy on
pelagic fish.
Ronald
Kennedy called in his report from a trip 45 miles south of the jetties
on Saturday. Fishing with his wife Sandy and father-in-law, George
Williams, they found lots of kings, Spanish mackerel, bonito and a few
ling around several rigs. Platform 352 was the best producer and gave up
a number of red snapper and spadefish to their drift baits.
After releasing most of the fish, they retained six kings, four Spanish mackerel and a 38-inch ling.
Last
week David Shinn and Chuck Combs fished the deeper waters around Sylvan
Beach in upper Galveston Bay. They found a lot of shad working at
daybreak and the action came fast on live shrimp fished under popping
corks. Their catch included black drum to 45 pounds, croakers, red fish
and an aggressive ladyfish. Reds in the 3- to 7-pound range were the
only fish retained.
The party boat Capt. John made a couple of trips last week, one to the Heald Bank area and the other to the old Buccaneer Field.
The Heald Bank trip produced limits of red snapper, along with a shark, kings to 24 pounds and a 23-pound ling.
The
Buccaneer Field trip also included limits of red snapper along with lane
snapper, spade fish, kings, sharks and a Warsaw grouper.
