Mike Aldrich shows off his 18" trout that he caught today. He used a small mullet and leaned his rod against the sign at the end of the Phase II pier where it joins the concrete wall. We were talking near his truck about ten feet away when the rod started to bend. He walked his catch up to the HEB beach. Outside of the trout, his only catch a big stingray.
The fish talk of the day was about the two big reds that were caught yesterday. The fellow from New Mexico who comes here several times a year and fishes from his homemade boat went out the channel and back around near Moyra's house. He tied on to the breakwater and proceeded to catch the reds. One was oversized and had to be released. Today he was back there early in the morning, but did not catch one. I saw him late this evening, near dark, coming in from out in the bay and bouncing like an oversized cork. His boat can't be over six feet long.
Jim Jacobus and his son went to Bird Island this morning and picked up six reds and four trout.
