Subject: May--June Fishing report
May is coming to a close and it has been good and bad. Let the wind die down and the trout are jumping in the boat; nothing to go out and get a 30 fish limit before the sun starts to heat up, but let the wind blow (like it has for the last few days) and you work your tail off for 20 fish. The upside to the wind tho is that it turns on the redfish that have been relunctant to bite most of the year. But all in all the fishing is better here than on the rest of the Texas coast. A brief bit of sunshine we had a good school of Tarpon show up at the jetties and stayed there for the better part of a week, still taking one or two in the 125# range when the wind lays enough to get out there. I still remember the early 70`s when in Oct. you would see schools of the "Silver King" that would number in the 1000`s. The wind of course will moderate (probably after Memorial Day weekend) and the fishing action for the rest of the summer will get back to normal. Look for trout, flounder and redfish to satisfy in the bay with Kingkish, Bonito, Dolphin, Sailfish, Wahoo and Blue Marlin to fill the void offshore. It`s going to be a busy season so get your reservations in early. Capt. Lou Austin 1-800-943-6282 for info |
