The giant red fish of fall have finally made a pretty solid showing this past week. The bite is better right around tide swings and you can get some solid fish. Fishing with fresh pogies and live piggy perch gets its done.

We left the dock around daylight, ran across to the outside of the jetties and dropped anchor. We were blessed with really calm seas today, a change from the usual. Baited up the rods snd started them to soaking. Was t long before the bite took off. We caught serveral bull reds, a few gafftop and some spanish mackeral on the light tackle while we were waiting for the big rods to sing. All in all a nice relaxing day of gishing on Galveston bay.

Leaving the dock and getting on the fish early has been the ticket lately. The summer heat is on and the fish are acting accordingly. Catching limits and lots of throw backs every trip lately, but by 0930-10:00 its pretty much done.
