p 2or weekender at0iday tsiovembtr 1 997 fall months a good time to fish gulf coast inlets houston weve got a problem whether it was mere coincidence or not my arrival to the south texas city for a recent vacation was greeted with the ominous presence of heavy rains and a blue norther which sent temperatures plummeting some 15 degrees fahrenheit to a range in the lowtomid 70s when those elements prevail the odds of catching sea trout redfish or flounder along the nearby coastal inlet waterways outdoors mike hayakawa are tough to say the least hinted al may who along with his brotherinlaw john

because mays synopsis was not the most encouraging and my stay was limit ed we let the weather settle down for a full day before venturing out on a cool but cloudless and windy day we all agreed that even if we didnt catch any fish it would be far better to be breathing fresh air than being stuck inside an office and tied down to a desk traditionally october and november are excellent fishing

favour after launching our 21 foot gulf boat we ventured to a near by reef that may predicted would harbour sea trout or redfish placing a live shrimp onto a 20 hook and leader rig we pre set the depth which we wanted to run our bait by the use of a styrofoam float drifting towards the reef which was surround ed by several crab pots we tossed our offering as far as possi ble from the boat reeling in the slack line that was created as we drifted towards our bait may suggested we pull back on our rod tip to enable the float to make a popping noise in the water this he said would give our bait a little extra action in the murky water using medium action 7 12foot rods equipped with either a level wind or openfaced spinning reel and spooled with 10- pound berkley big game monofilament we watched our floats sink occasionally into the water during the early morning hours when any activity took place it came in spurts as the sea trout have a tendancy to move around in schools our best action though came later in the afternoon when we spotted some sea gulls hovering over the water surface and picking up the odd baitfish when the birds are working may says you can take it to the bank that sea trout are lurking near by adding to his notion was the presence of slicks on the water surface may notes these are created by sea trout regurgitating any baitfish that theyve devoured using the same tactical approach it wasnt long before we struck paydirt in the form of doubleheaders and near triple- header misses however most of the fish that we landed were borderline catches fish measuring near the state minimum limit of 1 5 inches texas possession laws also limit anglers to 10 sea trout per person per day a good sized sea trout may notes can tip the scales at around five pounds during the winter months when baitfish are scarce fish can still be caught however fishing tactics change as may suggests tossing plugs or plastic shrimp imitation jigs galveston bay is not the only place to catch these fish as may says places west of houston including aransas pass or matagorda offer good action too for further information on fishing the texas coastal waters contact the
