Galveston fishing report 9-25-15





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.

Saturday the West End Anglers will be hosting Kids Fish 2, their second annual kids fishing tournament. The event is from 7:10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and takes place at the West End Restaurant & Sand Bar in the Sea Isle Subdivision on the west end of Galveston Island.
