This thread is for everything Trinity. I will start by saying the debris is clear enough to get back on the water. You should still be careful. Thomsons boat ramp is open but it is pretty damaged. I talked to the guy who lived on the property, he said he lost everything and he didn't have insurance so he deserves some prayer, at least give him a beer if you see him there. The spillway has been overfished the last 2 weeks so people are doing OK there at best.

Many are getting out their binoculars and chasing birds for specks and doing very well. Be sure to watch your depth as well as debris in the bay. I did great on redfish over the weekend I released well over my limit of fish south of the spillway on the shoreline using a MirrOLure catch 5 in a goldish color. I also saw a few small tarpon which were out of the question for my 10lb mono.

Broke a bunk on my trailer so I wont be out for a while, but when I do I will be heading out with some 20# braid next time to get some better hooksets and maybe jack with a tarpon, if I see one, because I have never caught one before.

when u walk out of mucullen park and take a left like your going to the spillway in that area. I found that the super spook jrs are working the best.

Dows had fish under birds Tuesday, as did most of the reef areas...Beasley, Fishers, Elliots, and even Tin Can had some. Gene and a couple of us are headed out in the morning....let you know something by the evening....got to teach tomorrow afternoon.........JT from Baytown

Anybody find baitcamps open for Trinity selling live shrimp. I am thinking about looking for a shrimp boat and buying some direct w/ some Jack. :biggrin:

 

[creolefish]

POISON???

Are you guys practicing catch and release? Aren't there oil slicks,chemicals, and other contaminants in the bay right now? (rotting carcasses)

 

[Redstalker]

Cruise slowly and offer help and respect for these folks that have lost a lot if not everything!

 

[Captain Kyle]

I kept 2 slot sizers last time i went out. They were fine looking. I agree with redstalker, I have already met some people who have been devastated.

Mary, who owns the lazy pelican, has live shrimp. She is on 563 just north of Anahauc. I fished yesterday morning out of Ft. Anahauc with limited success.Had one 21 and one 32 inch red and a lot of small specks and reds. I mainly target flounder, but did not have any luck on them. If you put in on the river side, watch out for the big lizards. I had two come out from under the walkway at the boatramp to say hello. A little freaky when you are out there by yourself. The water in the river looks really black right now. I hear it is because of all the dead vegitation. Fall flounder for me may not be very good this year.

 

[Captain Kyle]

Great so Fort Anahauc Boat launch is open?

 

[Ninjazx9rrida]

i have no clue where to target the flounder this fall. We will stay in trinity bay, but are use to the south shore line of east bay and roll over area.

 

[Captain Kyle]

I actually just asked that question on a different thread, no one answered. :headknock

By chance did you notice if the gate to the point was open?

 

[genemu]

The gate to the point was locked this afternoon (sat.) The ramp at the Corp of engineers park on the Trinity river is also open, although somewhat damaged. Same at Gou Hole, open on 1 ramp only. I did not go to Double Bayou, Smith Point, nor the wildlife refuge. Anyone know if the ramps there are open? Later, Gene
