Stocker Trout Fishing News

The Team had a great time in Galveston fishing the two piers – Galveston Fishing Pier and the 61st Street Fishing Pier, over the weekend. Had been to both piers in the past. Originally, planned to fish only one but then we learned the T-Head at the Galveston Fishing Pier opened earlier this year. First night we fished the Galveston Fishing Pier Friday evening from 9PM to 5AM Saturday morning. Bite was mainly Gafftopsail, Hardheads, Croaker, and Whiting for us. Did learn that others were catching Black Drum, Speckle Trout, and small Sharks. Then, we hopped up the road to the 61st Street Fishing Pier and fished from 8:30AM to 3PM Saturday. During that time, we caught more Gafftopsail, Hardheads, Croaker, and Whiting. Saw lots of Mullet schooling and saw the occasional Shark take a bite of one. Others hooked into a Bonnethead Shark and Blacktip Shark, and then we caught a Blacktip Shark, too! Things slowed down afterwards, so we took a break, then headed back to the 61st Street Fishi...

Busy day working but did finally break away in the afternoon to go fishing. This round went to Lake Lavon’s Tailrace. With all the rain we had, lake levels were up enough to release water! Heard others did well on White Bass earlier in the week. As it goes, only saw one White Bass caught; however, did see a couple of Gaspergou (Freshwater Drum) were caught by others. Also, saw two Catfish caught on bait. One went for a Shad; other went for cut bait. Of the two, one was a Bruiser. Not sure how much it weighed but did get video of it; even helped land it as no net was available. Fun stuff!
