To my first limit of specks on artis only. Fished the Galveston surf early on Sat. 6/6. Second cast with the spook jr. gets blown up and it was fast action until sun-up. By far my best trip with topwaters. For a while it was fish on every cast. The fish were very committed. If they missed the plug and you didn't yank it away you just had to let it sit a second, twitch it a few times, and they would be all over it again Had much better results landing fish than yesterday, only lost maybe 1/4 of hookups. Once the topwater bite slowed I switched to the jerk shad and got a few more. I had forgotten the stringer so I was whacking them on the head and throwing them into the kayak. Thought I had 10, but it was really 9. Can't complain though
I did paddle out to some birds that were going gang busters on shrimp, but the fish wouldn't hit anything I was throwing.
There were quite a few guys catching 'em on live shrimp, well into the morning after the artificial bite slowed down.
Too much fun, hope the surf stays flat for tomorrow morning
The haul
