A cold, biting
north wind eliminated most of the fishing around the Galveston area
Thursday, and it appears that the chill will be with us for another day
or so. Sunday looks like it might offer favorable conditions for
fishing.
John Powers, of Luling, called in asking about overnight tuna trips or safari’s as they are often called. Powers said that he reads about the offshore trips taking place periodically in the Reel Report and asked if we could give some details on how long the trips last, how far out they go and what party boats make those trips.

The best source of information on the popular overnight trips is from the party boat operations that make the trips. Galveston Party Boats and Williams Party Boats both report the results of their trips, and that information is published in the Reel Report.
There are a few aspects of the
trips about which I am familiar. The boats usually make 32- or 36-hour
trips to fishing grounds over 100 miles out of Galveston where they most
often fish around one of the floating platforms in water depths of over
3,000 feet.
Both blackfin and yellowfin tuna are often caught along with other deep-water species.
During the winter and spring
months, a number of scheduled trips are canceled due to weather. The
trips are popular with anglers without boats, and most anglers give good
reports of their experiences.
On the tournament scene, the 5th
anniversary edition of the Texas Shoot-Out Chorizo Trout Tournament will
take place on March 26 from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Weigh in is at Serious
Tackle located at 14065 Delaney Road in La Marque.
The entry fee is $80 per person, and for more information contact Lee Garcia at teamlalito2@gmail.com or at 281-216-3215.
