Oh, boy! Ralph comes up with a prize catch
Correspondent
Sunday afternoon, I attended the final weigh-in for the Oh! Boy Oberto Red Fish Cup event. It was held at the Kemah Boardwalk and, after maneuvering through the mass of humanity, I finally arrived on the scene. The weigh-in was supposed to last from 3 until 6, but all of the contestants were in by 3:45 and the event ended at that time.
Several records were set this year, the largest two-day and three-day total weight and the largest payout in event history, a sizable $80,000 in cash.

Black drum feeding frenzy continues
(EXERPT FROM THE GALVESTON COUNTY DAILY NEWS)
For those of you who like winter, this is your last day to enjoy that season, as springtime begins Wednesday. With winds gusting on Monday and black drum still biting, it appears that spring is already here.
From the Pelican Island Bridge to the beachfront, large black drum are in a feeding frenzy. Warmer-water fish are appearing in the surf in larger numbers, and whiting remain consistent in most areas.

Anglers land jackfish during run on jetty

If ever the term “jacks are wild” applied to a fishing report (instead of a poker hand), today is that day.
During an early morning to about noon North Jetty trip by Texas A&M student Bailey Campbell and his neighbor, Bob Sarks, the two not only caught a mess of 15 Spanish mackerel to a nice 26 inches, but the anglers came across a massive school of jackfish (also known as jack crevalle) to pretty much cap their time on the water.
