COOLER WEATHER HELPS THE CATCH!
Fishing and catching just continue to get better and better in Port Aransas.
The weather cooled off and made fishing much more pleasant, according to all reports.
"It was another great week of fishing,"
Some nice big yellowfin tuna came in, the largest weighing 186 pounds, but most weighing about 100 pounds.
A few blackfin tuna are showing up, some big amberjack, weighing between 60 and 80 pounds and limits of red snapper, many weighing 25 to 30 pounds.
Even a few kingfish were caught as were some ling and grouper.
"Several big blacktip shark are coming in nearly every day last week,".
Fisherman’s Wharf says anglers are catching a good amount of big sized red snapper on the long trips.
On the shorter trips, they are catching all species of snapper, triggerfish, amberjack and ling, he added.
Dolphin Dock Inc. reports the safari (longer) trips are coming back with a lot of yellowfin and blackfin tuna. The yellowfins weigh 50 pounds plus.
They’re also bringing in red snapper, shark and kingfish as well as amberjack, grouper, ling, dorado and barracuda.
"They’re getting some of just about everything on those trips,".
On the day trips anglers are coming back with snapper, amberjack, shark and barracuda.
"The weather has been wonderful. I even think the cool front helped things."
The snapper are still biting well with limits for nearly everyone on most of the trips. Anglers are also catching nice dorado, good-sized ling and lots of shark.
The 12-hour trips are running in to tuna, so they are on the way.
Fishing is still "real good,"
Redfish are available on the surf side of the north jetty.
The north jetty saw anglers bringing in limits of "slot" reds, those which are keeper size in the 20 to 28 inch range.
Also caught are flounder, snook, mangrove snapper and croaker.
On Oct. 15, one of the north jetty fishermen came back mid-morning with his limit of redfish.[
