But it was a comfortable fish, well protected from increasingly breezy south/southwest winds that had susbstantially affected the water clarity.
If the wind is churning from the north, the primary location could be unfishable. SeaWolf Park / Pelican Island Flounder Fishing, Trip Report, Photos The last week of November to the first week of December normally signals the final surge of the annual fall flounder run. The water had gotten too muddy. Kayak is optional but if you bring it, also bring a lock in case you leave your yak with your vehicle. We would then fish the protected water of the Galveston Ship Channel on the south side of the island. It's amazing to me that Chester had never met me, but knew it was ME they rule. Water clarity; Stained.
Jim, an avid trout fisherman, was heard to couch descriptions of his two undersized flounders with some legal sounding stuff like "breach of warranty..." and "mental anguish...?" But Who Do They Rule?
As an alternative to Sea Wolf Park entry, you can access the Houston Ship Channel shoreline by turning left 1/4 mile before the park entrance (about 4 miles past I-45 / Broadway) onto the dirt road.
Red and white curly tails with shad hooked thru the eyes accounted for all three of those fish.
With the onset of additional pain in his neck and no bites to sooth it, he left the water around 9:30 a.m. Barry Sandler, Jim Richards, Lisa Bell and I waded out together initially, with Lisa catching the first fish, a fat, 16 1/2 incher. The fee to park is $5.00 and if you notify them at the gate you are a wade fisherman, there is NO ADDITIONAL FEE for fishing in the park.
They were leaving with 8 - one over 20 inches. Visible structure along the Houston Ship Channel shoreline includes a sunken concrete ship, a sunken shrimper and "the green bush". A ride half way back down the beach in Terry Brown's Jeep was welcome relief to my tired legs, and we waded the rest of the way back with one throwback. Feeling a bit puny when he got up, he drove to the park checking out our action. Just prior to the photo the fish broke free, JUMPING 3 FEET STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR AFTER A TAIL DANCE! Bring warm clothing, waders, snacks/drinks, bug spray and fishing gear. "The pond" is visible on the aerial photo as a dark patch and comprises everything between the road and the shell shoreline we'll fish. Dick will be there then. The choice gave us a much more spacious fishing area and direct access from inside the park. The sunken ship is one of the more prominent landmarks in our bay system. Subject to the wind, the primary plan is to fish the shoreline along the Houston Ship Channel, entering the water via SeaWolf Park. 90 degrees. Conditions were a bit balmy for this time of year, with the air reaching near record mid-70's and the water at over 65 degrees. The prime fishing area there extends northwest for about 1 1/2 miles, going past the sunken concrete ship, then the sunken shrimpboat on the shoreline with its boom above the water and on until about 300 yards past "the green bush". With a low tide and no waders you can wade around it.
"The pond" is a tidal flats that usually has 12" to 2' of water in most of it (part of it is in and out of water depending on the rain or tide). Though equal numbers of the fishing masses out that weekend were fishing on the Houston Ship Channel and the Galveston Ship Channel sides of Pelican Island, we all tried the more protected Houston Ship Channel side. I was thinking of the inscription on my autographed latest book by Chester Moore, "FLATFISH RULE!" Water temperatures have typically fallen to 58 to 62 degrees. Further down the shore we fish is the boom of a shrimper run aground. The "green bush" is 400 yards further down the shore to the west. He used live mud minnows but couldn't buy a bite.
