Fishing report 3/20/11
Monday 3/14
Monday I had Lamar out for a half day trip. We waded shell pads in West bay throwin plum/char Bass Assassins. The day started off fast as we caught 2 limits of Trout to 20". Only 10 Trout were kept. All fish caught over shell in 3' of water keying in on Mullet. The bite was over by 830am.
Wednesday 3/16
Wednesday I had Frank and his son Alex out and for a half day trip and was it ever a tough bite. We waded several spots in East Galveston Bay but just couldn’t find a bite. Alex did manage to catch his first ever Speckled Trout while wade fishing. This was a nice Trout that weighed a little over 3 lbs. The wind was really not an issue today we just had a tough day and a tough bite.
Thursday 3/17
Thursday I had Brian, Mike, and Steve out and the bite started off a lot better than the day before. Within the first two hours we stuck close to 20 Trout on topwaters. All Trout were caught on a slow retreive working She Dogs around active /mullet. Trout were caught in 3 to 4′ of water over mud/sand bottom. Corkys were also effective later in the day when the topwater bite slowed down.
Friday 3/18
Friday I had Lance and Milo out for a half day trip. The wind started blowing early and the bite was a slow one. We caught a few Trout early on artificials while drifting a reef on the upper end of West Bay. Decided to make a move to Chocolate Bay next where we cut some drift around some of the spoil reefs in Chocolate. Throwing Shrimp under popping corks we scratched out a hand full of Trout to 20″. The water in Chocolate look great and is holding some good fish right now for people wanting to get out and do some drift fishing around some of the reefs.
Saturday 3/19
Saturday Danny and myself hit the Specktacular Tourney series fishing tourney. The day started off great as we both caught near 40 Trout in the 3lb range. All our fish were caught on Broken Back corkys and topwaters. We had good non stop action and even had 5 big fish on that would have put us in the money but it just wasn’t our day as we watch all our big fish pull of our hooks. It was very frusterating watching these big fish destroy our topwater only to have them come off and swim away. But we will be back!!!!
This fishing is in transition right now as we slowly get away from our winter time patterns. It has been really hit or miss right now. As the water temps warm the bite will be more consistant. The topwater action has greatly improved from last week. We have started seeing some awesome topwater action this week and will continue through April.
