Unsettled weather continues to plague the upper Texas Coast.
Early Wednesday, Darrell Watkins and two friends headed out for what they hoped would be a good day of early season offshore fishing. After just over an hour underway, thunder and lightning were taking place along the horizon and the wind picked up.
Early Wednesday, Darrell Watkins and two friends headed out for what they hoped would be a good day of early season offshore fishing. After just over an hour underway, thunder and lightning were taking place along the horizon and the wind picked up.
According to Watkins, that was
it, and they headed back to dock. By noon, the wind was gusting to over
20 knots. Not a good day for fishing either offshore or in the bay.
One other report was received Wednesday, and that was from Harry Peterson who hit the water along the spoils of the Intracoastal Waterway before daybreak. Peterson and his neighbor Collin Clark
wade fished for two hours using live shrimp and Saltwater Assassins for
baits. Their catch amounted to a Texas Grand Slam which included 12
trout to 19 inches, two reds and a 16-inch flounder.
All of the action came within 45 minutes after first light of day.
Capt. Mike Williams
sent an update on his Tides of Taurus report that includes predictions
of excellent trout action in the near future. Williams said that when
the wind drops, fishermen will see the “Bloom of the Plume” as both our
resident trout and those surf runners from the Gulf come together, and
the line where the northbound and southbound schools meet will be a
break point where the salinity level is more in balance.
Williams said that this event, under the right conditions, will produce some of the best trout fishing of the year.
I think all of us anticipate some excellent trout fishing for several weeks ahead.
