  Anglers seemed to have lucked out this weekend as great conditions appear to be settling in on the upper Texas Coast for the Easter holidays.
Friday started out with moderate winds; however, as the day progressed, the volumes dropped and the forecast for the remainder of the weekend calls for light winds, which is just what everyone on the fishing scene wants.

Several reports were in by press time Friday, and all indicated excellent action on a variety of fish.

Dean Silvers was back on the water Friday with his son Ben and friend Bill Zimmer. They started off at the South Jetty where Silvers said the water was nice, and they caught two undersized reds, a trout and 11 sheepshead.

While fishing Offatts Bayou, Zimmer landed a nice flounder.

Larry Wright and his son Terry fished Green’s Cut and other spots in upper West Bay on Friday and landed six trout and an undersized flounder. Most of the action came from drift-fishing West Bay between Mecom’s and Green’s Cuts in 4 to 6 feet of water. Bass Assassins and Touts were the baits.

Mike Hall and Jerry Sales fished from a lighted dock in Jamaica Beach on Thursday night and landed 11 trout to 16 inches in length. Six of the specks were undersized and live shrimp was the bait. The action took place between midnight and 2:30 a.m.

Our only black drum report came from Raul Cervantes who, along with two friends, fished the Galveston Channel on Friday and landed eight black drum, with the largest being an oversized 34-inch big ugly. In addition to the drum, a bull red was caught, tagged and retained.

A variety of baits were used including live crab, live shrimp and cut mullet. The smaller fish hit the cut mullet, and the big drum and red hit the live shrimp. The crab did not attract anything.
