The weather here has been very un-Texas like. The cold and
wind have kept us off the water and huddled up inside but it warmed the other
day and when John asked me if I would like to go fishing I of course jumped at
the chance.
Before long Dave, John, and I were heading out to fish the
bridges for sheephead. Using overhead hooks we safely anchored John’s boat and
before too long Dave and I each had landed a nice sheephead. The bite stopped
and moving to another spot, John added his own before the little fish moved in.
Bite after bite and the only ones we caught were about ten
inches long, (the fish must be fifteen inches to keep here). Moving to another
spot didn’t bring any better results and the only bite was an undersized flounder.
Still at least it was a fish and while Dave complained about the size John and
I both wished we could catch one ourselves.
Moving further brought no results and finally moving to Dave’s
secret spot, we didn’t fare any better. The tide started moving but the wind picked
up and a wave broke over the bow. It was time to head in and call it a day but
at least we had put three nice keepers in the boat. The forecast for the next
two days was for high wind and rain, more time to make jewelry.
The forecast here is for a warming trend to start on Monday
and it can’t come soon enough! At least we aren’t getting any of the snow and
ice north of here! Clear skies
