Galveston fishing report 7-16-16

Mid-July heat continues to plague fishermen and is keeping many anglers off the water during the day. While conditions are trying to improve, the hot water is making it difficult to keep bait alive.
The forecast for this week looks promising, with a more southeasterly wind. That is good because the wind will be coming off the Gulf of Mexico and have a cooling effect, especially during the late evening, nighttime and early morning.
Off-color water still remains a problem; however, more areas are beginning to shape up.

Dean Silvers and his friends were back at the jetties Saturday and found the water around the South Jetty not to be in good shape, so they moved to the channel side of the North Jetty where green water was flowing. Six specks and other fish were taken from near the rocks, and as the water continues to clear, the action should pick up.

Arno Carpenter and his grandson Brandon Franks fished the Spoil Banks out of San Leon near Marker 54 early Saturday. Using live shrimp and croaker for bait, they landed 12 specks to 21 inches and two undersized reds, both missing the 20-inch minimum by less than an inch.

Wade fishing around Siever’s Cut in East Bay continues to be productive. Al Sanders was one of the group fishing the spoils near the cut Friday morning and landed a limit of slot reds and a 17-inch flounder using fingerling mullet for bait.

Crabbing remains strong with some of the best action coming around daybreak.
Carlos Morales and his family landed 17 nice-sized blue crabs while working crab lines near Sportsmen’s Road in West Bay. Turkey necks cut in half was the bait.
