North winds hurt fishing in East Galveston Bay. Water muddied up after fronts hit last week. Fishing was only fair but should recover fast. Everything is in place for a great Spring bite when the weather stabilizes. Shorelines are holding a lot of bait fish. And the fish are there and have been are a few months now. We had a few days of good fishing with good numbers of trout and reds. Live shrimp is our choice of bait - fished under a popping cork. We had a few big trout in the 6 lb range that were released after a few good pictures. Live shrimp and croaker are available on the peninsula. Just a reminder - it's time to sign up your kids for the CCA STAR Tournament that will be starting soon. Until next week, see you on the water.
