  Trout action continues to top the fishing news and Wednesday provided a continuation of the hot action anglers have been having on trout all week.
Preston Blaylock and Horace Moore found East Bay to be the spot for limiting out on specks early Wednesday. Live shrimp and piggy perch were the baits while fishing one of the deep reefs.

Frank Martin limited out on trout while wade fishing the surf Wednesday. The big catch came using live shrimp fished under popping corks and took place near Caplan.

While lots are trout are being caught this week, Steve Creecy did not fare so well. Creecy sent a note saying that he personally observed lots of trout at the cleaning tables; however, he got skunked while fishing one of his favorite spots off of Dollar Point on Tuesday where he has caught many specks and other fish over the years.

I am not familiar with the current conditions around that area; however, it sounds like he may have been fishing too far up Galveston Bay. The salinity levels likely are low to near zero around there and the fish most likely are going to be found farther south.

All of the reports this week, like those today, have been from areas close to the passes or from the surf. Earlier this week, one of our local fishing guides pointed out that anglers are going to have to fish where the trout are today, not where they were.

Just past 2 p.m. Wednesday, NOAA Fisheries sent out an announcement that the red snapper season for private anglers is being extended two days until 12:01 a.m. Sunday due to Tropical Storm Colin.
