We had another fun family trip to Galveston. The fish were not biting like usual, but it was still great to be out on the water. We caught one large 38 pound black drum, a slot black drum, an upper slot red and lost a couple of nice fish (likely reds) in the rocks, about 15 piggy perch and one huge sand trout. Our targeted species was the black drum, but we just could not find a bite. We tried the boat cut at the North Jetty and tried in the ship channel near the Pelican Island bridge on Sunday to get out of the wind, but nada. I was tempted and should have tried the Gulf side of the North Jetty for sheepshead action on Sunday and understand from other reports that they were biting. It was nice to be back on the water and look forward to a few more trips while the big black drum are still plentiful around the rocks.
