The most
common question from visitors to Galveston this weekend comes from
those wanting to fish and asking where to go and what will be biting.
For an answer, let’s take a look at what took place on the fishing scene
Friday night and Saturday.
Scattered
thunderstorms were the culprit in keeping a lot of anglers off of the
water early Saturday; however, those that waited it out and fished
during windows between the storms caught fish.
An
example came from Hal Masterson who, along with three of his wife’s
cousins, fished East Bay between the thunderboomers. Masterson and the
group are spending the holiday weekend in Crystal Beach and plan to be
on the water as much as they can through Monday morning.
Saturday
they were run in early by lightning and did not have their lines in the
water very long. After waiting out the storms, they headed back to
Hannah’s Reef and drift fished it using live shrimp fished under popping
corks. The threatening weather sent most of the other boats home;
however, for two hours they were able to make the most of the fishing
and landed 12 trout to 21 inches along with three puppy drum and lots of
ladyfish.
Oscar
Reed reported lots of small trout under the lights at Tiki Island on
Friday night with a few keepers mixed in. Reed fished from the middle of
the night until 2 a.m. and managed three keeper trout along with a
small Spanish mackerel. Reed said that he released at least a dozen
under sized trout.
A
report from Seawolf Park indicated good action on trout, drum, gafftop,
sheepshead and ladyfish. The rocks produced more fish than the fishing
pier according to Frank Hernandez, who was one of the early birds at the
park.
The only report from the surf indicated slow fishing, with only pan fish being caught Saturday.
