  • West Bay Easter Slam Hunt

    Decided to fish the south shoreline of West Galveston Bay this morning to see what was going on. I haven't been out there since the fall of last year.

    Launched around 6:30 AM and paddled out about a mile to a oyster reef. The tide was very high when I arrived and gave me difficulties locating the reef. Luckily, I managed to find it from blind casting. The tide remained high all day and I'm not even sure the there was any tidal movement during the day. Ended up catching 9 speckled trout (16"-23") and 1 lower slot red directly over the shell, and caught and released 6 flounder (14"-19") along the shell to sand transition of the reef.

    Water Depth: 2-4 feet
    Water Clarity: 6 inches
    Structure: Shell/sand
    Lure: Trout/Reds - Popping cork rigged with Gulp shrimp in new penny; Flounder - H&H red/white curly tail grub tipped w/ Gulp pearl white pogy, rigged on a 1/4 oz jighead

    Happy Easter!

Next time you catch those fine specimens I might suggest that you donate them to the "Marx Brothers Church of the Silver Spoon". I'll make sure that they get to some folks that will love them either blackened or stuffed with crabmeat!!
                        Yeah, just wanted some trout and reds for a change. I've been eating flounder every week it seems like.
