Galveston Fishing Charter Company
832-917-FISH(3474)
A moderate
to strong easterly wind caused a hiccup on fishing Thursday, as the
bays became choppy and water levels were rising well above normal.
Hopefully this is just a temporary interruption to the excellent fishing we have been experiencing this week.
Wednesday Capt. Billy Howell joined Capt. Michael LaRue
helping with LaRue’s two-man tarpon charter. Their guests landed and
released a 140-pound silver king and also enjoyed plenty of action on
sharks, bull reds and jack crevalle.
Speaking of jacks, Warner Kemp
had the line stripped from his fishing reel twice Wednesday by jack
crevalle while wade fishing San Luis Pass. Kemp said his target was
trout, reds and Spanish mackerel; however, the jacks would not stop
attacking the shrimp he was fishing with under a popping cork.
The
second time his line was stripped was the final straw that ended the
trip, as he brought only two rods and reels and no additional spools of
line.
Fred Griffith
read a recent report about catches at the old helicopter pad which we
mentioned earlier this week and asked if we had the GPS coordinates. He
fished that area with success a lot during the 1980s and would like to
return to the spot.
Fred, you are in luck as I do have the coordinates. They are N29-26-33; W94-49-02.
