Crab Trap Report: Better than the previous 3 weekends, 6 traps yielded about 2 dozen crabs
Fishing Report: About the same as the previous weekends. A lot of upper slot, and a few over sized redfish on good tidal movements, bite died as slack tide approached. Flounder bite was best I’ve ever experienced on the incoming tide, ended up catching about 10 on plastics, lost countless more from missed hook ups or they spit it. The green water provided enough clarity I saw over a dozen times flounder actually chasing my plastics allowing me to slow my retrieve even more and watch them grab it almost at my feet. They are most any color, I used a variety of paddle tails.

I had Nathan Gray booked for tomorrow and have to cancel. Nathan is on the fish big time right now.
If any of you are interested in going tomorrow in Galveston, give him a shout and let him know Tyler Murray sent you. Will be a croaker trip, would go out of Galveston Bait & Tackle or Watermans Marina, I'm not sure which but he's been out of Watermans for a few weeks. Nathan charges $500 + bait for up to 3 people. He will wade or stay in the boat. My last couple trips have been drifting over shell at daylight and we've had all our trout before 8am. Then we go wade when it gets hot enough we are ready to get in and cool off.

Slow day on the pond. Donated ballyhoo to BFT mostly. Did have one wahoo that cut an Ilander off after a run. This young lady caught her first dorado- Raised one small billfish but could not get her to play
Well my fishing buddy (Dax my youngest son) who i do not get to fish with much because he now fishes for a living got some work done. 1st pic is him working the wire on a blue marlin. Second pic is photo with boat owner and son. Dax hooked up a white marlin for Dad and son to real in together. Dax loves his job and really appreciates getting to do what he loves for a living, on a bad @$$ boat with a great family oriented owner.
