A gorgeous weekend
is in store for anglers, and we will discuss where the best fishing
might take place, but first, I want to pass on a note from Scott Neilson who responded to our list of popular trout lures in Friday’s Reel Report.
Neilson said he
uses the Paul Brown Corkies almost exclusively from mid-December through
early March and feels that they are as good as any bait for wade
fishing and attracting big trout.
Last Thursday the angler from La Marque fished with Doug Barnes and Harold Parks.
The three anglers drove to Baytown where they launched their boat and
fished the Burnet Bay area. Neilson used his Corky Fat Boy while the
others used soft plastics, and their total catch amounted to seven trout
to close to 5 pounds. Neilson’s Fat Boy accounted for five of the
trout. The largest trout hit a limetreuse Bass Assassin.
Now let’s look at the outlook for
the remainder of the weekend. Mardi Gras activities are going to be
generating a lot of attention; however, anglers that want to pass on all
of the celebrations should have a number of options for fishing.
Wind velocities are always an issue this time of year; however, if the forecasts hold, we should be in good shape this weekend.
Wade fishing the shorelines of
West Galveston Island along upper West Bay should be a good choice for
finding trout and reds. Recently there have been some good reports on
trout coming from Carancahau, Dana, Hoecker’s and Starvation Coves. The
best times have been associated with the high tides.
The West Bay tide times shown on this page should give a good indication of when high tides will take place in those coves.
For a wider variety of fish,
largely pan fish, areas along Pelican Island, the jetties and Texas City
Dike should be worthwhile choices.
