Sunday evening was one of the best ever on the pier. For about an hour and a half the big trout were all over the place. I caught eight before they quit with the largest being 19 and one half inches and the others not far behind. Earlier in the week the winter Texans said they caught some big trout in the marina. I tried on Saturday and caught only one small one. The water temperature has risen to 70 degrees.
Oystering has begun in Copano. There is a daily procession of boats in and out of Copano. Aransas Bay is still closed until the Red Tide residual effects are gone.
Jerry and I went into Copano yesterday evening. We saw two Whooping cranes at Newcomb's bend. We had just found the trout with one in the box when fog moved in and we had to make a run to get back before we got socked in.
The board meeting that had been discussed for next week has been postponed. Work on the skirting in the 300 building has begun.
