There was not a lot taking place on the fishing scene Saturday. Whiting were about it for the 61st Street Fishing Pier fishermen. Sheepshead and puppy drum were being caught around the causeway and railroad bridges, according to a report from Galveston Bait and Tackle.
This time of year most likely is the slowest time for fishing and fishing reports. While there is good action taking place during windows of favorable conditions, there are not many fishermen out there.

Many of those anglers back off
for the same reason I use as my excuse, the cold temperatures. Many of
us can endure extreme heat during the summer; however, when it comes to a
day when the temperature is in the 50s or lower, we chicken out.
Beginning some time in April, the
return migration of fishermen begins. Much like the flounder runs,
about the time the flounder leave the bays many fishermen coincidentally
begin shelving their gear. On the reverse side, around the time
flounder return to the bays, anglers return with them.
I don’t recall having heard that analogy from anyone; however, there is definitely a pattern that exists among the two events.
If your boat has not been used
for over a month or your engine has not been started during that time,
it would be advisable to at least crank the motor and run it for a few
minutes. Obviously, you should use a flushing device if it is on a
trailer.
Boats stored in slings over water
have an advantage of being able to not only run their engine while in
the slip but placing it in gear for a minute or so.
For those boats that have not
been used for a while, hopefully you have used a good stabilizer in the
fuel. This is imperative with today’s ethanol gas.
