Galveston fishing report May 30, 2016

  Anglers hitting the water early Monday avoided the crowded conditions later and also the wind increase that began in the early afternoon. Trout action has been consistent, although not in the quantities as hoped but the overall quality made up for it.
Pinky Hurst was one of the anglers at the launching ramp just before day break and enjoyed a good morning of fishing East Bay reefs. Hurst used live shrimp fished deep under a popping cork to land five specks, with three over 18 inches in length.
Sunday night Merl Bonner and Patrick Dawson fished their portable underwater green lights at Cold Pass and landed two flounder, four specks, two sand trout and a stingray. Free lined live shrimp was the bait.

Hopefully, we will have more weekend offshore reports to pass on early this week; however, Sunday, Dean Silvers, his son Ben and Bill Zimmer were able to make a trip to the short rigs. Silvers said the water was off color 15 miles out and that when they passed the jetties, the water looked like the muddy Brazos River.

Fishing in not the best of conditions, they landed a bull red, huge black drum and numerous small red snapper.

On Sunday, June 5, the first Congregation B’nai Israel Saltwater Fishing Tournament takes place. The event will headquarter at 3008 Ave. O with a fish fry starting at noon. Tournament hours are from daylight to 2 p.m. and the entry fee is $75. Proceeds from the event will benefit the congregation’s youth programs including scholarships to summer camp. For more information call Steve Hoffman at (281) 491-6565.
