SALTWATER THERAPY

here’s nothing quite like the healing powers of getting out on the water. Whether it be fishing or surfing, I like to refer to this time as “church.” It’s a time to connect with and be a part of nature, as well as clear your head from life’s day-to-day challenges. When I get to take my kayak out and catch a fish or score some good waves, I feel alive. And that’s what it’s all about. The harsh winter we have experienced this year, has really tested us Texans and I think we can all use some “church” time on the water. With air and water temperatures starting to warm up, this is the perfect time to start preparing for spring fishing and surfing. Change out your cold water

beginner knowledge, students will also be introduced to detailed lessons on wind and waves and how they relate to your boat. Intermediate sailing is taught with a greater emphasis on the sailor’s selfreliance; once the course is completed, the sailor should be able to rig, launch, sail out and back, without assistance and with confidence and efficiency. Nautigirls (Advanced): Experienced sailors will learn to sharpen their sailing skills. Lesson will be given on fine tuning a boat for speed, skippering, spinnakers, and racing. This group of sailors will perform drills that will enhance their understanding of boat speed and small boat racing.

Calling all women sailors! Houston Yacht Club plans sailing camp for women

he Houston Yacht Club’s Women’s Sailing Association is now accepting applications for its 2018 Windward Bound Sailing Camp for Women, which will be held June 6-9 at the Houston Yacht Club. The overnight camp is open to all women who are 21 years or older. Windward Bound Sailing Camp, which is celebrating its 31st year, is a great opportunity to learn, expand, or enhance your knowledge and skills in sailing. This camp is the only program of its kind on the bay. It is all about women teaching women how to sail in a fun, friendly, and safe environment. The camp will help women gain new confidence, new skills, and new friends; and is for those new to sailing, those who are familiar with the sport but want to expand their knowledge and skills, and for the experienced sailor who wants to race competitively.

The format of the camp is residential, concentrated, and objective-oriented and features small group instruction with individualized attention. The counselors are accomplished women sailors with years of experience in cruising, racing and teaching other women to sail. The camp is broken down into four categories to include: Waves (Beginners): Great for first-time sailors or those who need a refresher on the basics! The focus is on terminology, rigging, boat handling skills, sailing theory, and becoming comfortable and confident on the water. The enthusiastic instructors guide sailors through hands-on lessons and adventures making time on the water enjoyable and safe. Flamingos (Intermediate): After mastering the basics of sailing, the Flamingo group will continue to sharpen their rigging, boat handling and terminology skills. In addition to becoming more comfortable with

Springtime Thoughts

By Capt. Steve Soule www.ultimatedetailingllc.com

pring may be the toughest season of all to figure out on the upper Texas Coast. It’s the first of our two annual transitional periods, and in my opinion, definitely the harder of the two to get a solid grasp on when it comes to patterning. With so many factors at play, March and April can wreck even the best made plans. To gain a better understanding, we need to think first about where we are transitioning from. In a winter season like we’ve just had, the coldest in nearly 10 years, we truly put fish into a winter pattern. This is a pattern that can be predictable and reasonable easy to describe and understand. Fish tend to move slightly deeper and hold over certain types of structure or bay substrate. Food sources,

though limited have become reliable and are somewhat easy to locate as they are larger and more visible than at other times of the year.

Temperature

At the first signs of spring, anglers can often do very well. Predatory fish move from deeper to shallower water as the air and water temperatures warm. The initial warming creates added temperature to the cold blooded fish as well as their prey. This change typically makes both more active and sends predators out in search of food. But this isn’t always the easiest thing for hungry predators to accomplish. Everything is transient in spring; both predator and prey. Temperature and barometric pressure swings wildly during this period. Weather varies from mild to violent

and boating and fishing pressure is steadily increasing. Wind, tide, temperature and timing; all of these factors play a major role in spring fishing. But the prevalence and types of available food for predators is still limited.

Spring Prey

Winter forage, like mullet and finfish are still present but the return, or emergence of other various food sources happens at a much slower pace than their departure during fall. Wintering crabs and shrimp that have buried in mud through the cooler months will be some of the earliest additions to the menu, followed by a slow trickle of various other small baitfish species. Keep in mind that this is a slow process that is triggered more so by the “photo period” or length of daylight versus darkness than it is by temperature. Many food sources don’t truly return in force until later in spring.

Wind

Wind is always a factor in spring, especially during the first half of the season. Light wind days are few and far between, and late season cold fronts can often push us well into the small craft advisory range. This doesn’t lend itself well to great fishing days and certainly doesn’t

Gulf Coast Mariner Magazine March/April 2018

make spring inviting for anglers. With high winds come several other factors that influence fishing. High tides and rapid barometric pressure come to mind at the top of the list.

High Tides

Discussions on high tides seem to happen repeatedly during spring. For those who fish open and deeper water areas, the significance is reduced dramatically. For those who fish relatively shallow waters, the impact is quite substantial. Big rising tides push small prey animals deeper into marshes and other areas where they can find cover from predation. The host of predators, like redfish, trout and flounder, will follow. Often, this puts predator and prey out of reach of most boaters and increases the overall size of the area we have to search. Fish become like needles in a haystack. It often seems like redfish enjoy exploring new territory, and high tides are the open invitation for them to take off wandering.

Pressure

The large swings in barometric pressure during spring can provide both good and bad fishing. Changes in pressure seem to create short windows of increased feeding activity, especially when they happen in conjunction with moving tides or a moon position that would already cause fish to hunt for food. We can’t fish purely around pressure changes, not predictably anyway. You can shoot for catching the big changes as fronts approach and pass the coastline, but safety and comfort are often compromised. More often than not, most of us as anglers are stuck with the days that we can get on the water. It’s interesting to note, that even small changes in the direction of barometric pressure movement can

effect fish feeding behaviors. Steady pressure, or pressure that is steadily on the rise or fall, often yields stagnant fish feeding

Timing

Timing, as I mentioned earlier, can have a huge impact on our success rates in fishing. Knowing seasonal patterns is very helpful in understanding when fish tend to feed in certain areas. If you don’t have years of fishing log information, then you can only go and hope for the best in finding actively feeding fish or rely on local information. Often, springtime doesn’t follow the typical feeding periods normally associated with summer. Don’t be one of the anglers that hunt out a summer feeding pattern this early in the year. Bottom line, springtime fishing requires more thought on average than any other season along the coast. Careful planning, understanding the conditions, researching or having years of experience can help greatly. Knowing the available food sources, and making appropriate adjustments in your lure arsenal can pay off with big dividends. Most of the new arrivals of prey animals are quite small, which often leads to day where even larger predatory species are focused on eating small but numerous meals. With careful planning, and an educated approach, spring can pay big dividends of big trout. But, if you think that you’re going to find a summer pattern just because of the rapid warm up, you will be in for quite the surprise. Get out and enjoy the warmer weather, and don’t be discouraged by the difficulties. Instead, use the time wisely to cover more water and seek out the patterns hidden within the season.

FISHING AFTER A COLD WINTER patterns should return. In the good news department, it appears that there were no major fish kills during the multiple freeze events that took place. While fish kills were reported, most of the finfish were forage fish, mainly mullet, menhaden and small fish of all species that were not large enough to tolerate water in the 40 degree range very long. One of the reasons the stocks of gamefish survived well is that they had time to

get acclimated to the cold and had moved into areas offering deep, protected waters. Last January, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department exercised its right to close certain bodies of water when freeze events took place. This is the first time the TPWD has exercised that option and the areas around the Galveston Bay Complex that were affected were Moses Lake in the vicinity of the flood gates and most of Offatts Bayou.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I expect 2018 to be a good year for fishing.â&#x20AC;?

What will the effects of our icy winter have on fishing? By Capt. Joe Kent

eginning in mid-December, the Galveston Bay Complex experienced one of its coldest winters in years. Many of the anglers have not been through a severe winter from an historical perspective. You have to go back into the 1990s to find when we had subfreezing temperatures

along the Texas Coast that lasted more than a short time. Severe cold is not anything new to the Galveston Bay Complex; however, the number of days of subfreezing conditions has progressively dropped over the last decade. A frequently asked question by readers of the Galveston County Daily News is how will all of the bitter cold weather affect fishing during 2018? The answer is that it is hard to pinpoint; however, there are several indicators that tell us that when the weather warms, normal fishing

Gulf Coast Mariner Magazine March/April 2018

Both areas are known to hold large concentrations of trout and other fish when the water temperatures fall into the low 40s or lower. In those pockets of deep water, fish are sluggish and easy prey for anglers. Shortly after one of the freeze events in the early 1960s, I fished with a friend at the Blue Hole in Offatts Bayou and recall catching close to 50 trout (there were no size nor bag limits back then) with many of the fish being snagged by the treble hooks on my Bingo Lure. In the bad news department, the freeze took its toll on aquatic vegetation. There is little doubt that the plants will rebound; however, it could take a while after this long winter. Like with all other vegetation, warm weather is the key to rebounding and growth. The effect of the loss of aquatic plants is in the loss of cover for fish, mainly young fin fish, crustaceans and shell fish. Over the past 10 to 20 years when mild winters were the norm, we started the spring season with a good crop of bait in the marshes and wetlands. It remains to be seen just how badly the freezes affected that part of the marine life cycle. Overall, I expect 2018 to be a good year for fishing, barring any catastrophic events such as major floods or droughts. While not on the topic of fishing directly, one of the big effects of a long cold winter is on boats, especially engines and mechanical equipment. A large number of boats have not been run for many weeks and problems likely are going to be widespread, with contaminated fuel, frozen water lines and other parts that are vulnerable to freezing weather or sitting up very long. Before using your boat for the first time this year, check it out. For the first trip away from the dock, make it an abbreviated one and do not venture too far.

Come On Spring By Capt. David C. Dillman Spec-tacular Trout Adventures 832-228-8012

always wonder how the folks up “North” survive the winter. After these cold, cold months all I can say is “I have had enough!” This is the first real winter in many years for “us” on the Upper Coast of Texas. The wintery mix of snow and ice was a novelty, but worrisome for those of us that enjoy the fishery of Galveston Bay. We dodged a major fish kill disaster from a devastating freeze. I think we are all ready for some sunshine and warmer temperatures. Come on spring! This coming March and April we should experience a traditional spring fishing pattern in the Galveston Bay Complex. The traditional “drum run” will be in full swing along the Galveston Jetties. Also plenty of sheepshead, along with redfish and speckled trout will prowl the rocks. Depending on how fast the water temperature rises, these fish should make their way into lower Galveston Bay, at the end of the month.

In April, while the “drum run” is still happening, many anglers will set their “radar” on speckled trout. This winter, trout fishing was decent. It will improve significantly this month! Late season cold fronts this month can bring moderate to strong winds prior to their arrival. These winds are usually from the south-southeast. East Galveston Bay and the waters north of the Texas City Dike offer protection from the winds. Every incoming tide will push trout into these areas this month. In East Bay, Sievers Cut to Stingaree Cut and the adjacent reefs are the “go to” places. On the West side, Mosquito Island to Dollar Point offers plenty of protection and areas to fish under strong south winds. The shoreline in front of the floodgate at Moses Lake, is a good springtime spot to catch speckled trout. Live shrimp supplies should be good, but I would call a bait camp ahead of your planned trip. In the Clear Lake - Kemah area, check with Eagle Point Fishing Camp at 281-339-1131. Eagle Point offers quick access to the above mentioned areas and is a full service marina with a boat launch. Enjoy this upcoming Spring weather. See ya on the water! GulfCoastMariner.com

Lethal Crab Traps Collected in Christmas Bay Abandoned traps are a death sentence for more than just crabs

By Janice Van Dyke Walden

he fisherman had been dead for quite a while, and now his crab traps were full. On the morning of Saturday, February 17, 2018, as the sun came out and the tide retreated, volunteers in airboats found the metal cage crab traps among the grasses in the backwaters of Christmas Bay. They were full of crabs. They also found 50 sheepshead trapped at another location, and, like the crabs and all other marine life they find in the traps, they released them. “Last year, we found a turtle in one of the traps,” says Jim Olive who organizes the effort every year. When he started the Christmas Bay Foundation years ago, Olive was working to save the sea grasses from shrimpers, and keep a pipeline of human waste from dumping in the shallow pan bay of Follet’s Island. Now, years later, the shrimpers have been banned, and the pipe re-directed into the Gulf. The sea grasses flourish, and Christmas Bay has become a popular place for recreational fisherman. The crab fishermen still place their cage traps out in the waters, but not all can be recovered by the third Friday of each February. That’s when the State of Texas calls a 10-day closure on crab trap fishing, allowing volunteers to

Gulf Coast Mariner Magazine March/April 2018

collect what has gone adrift or been forgotten. “They are a pernicious, lethal killer,” says Olive of the traps. “When they are abandoned, the crabs die in the trap; the scent that they put out attracts more crabs to the trap. Those crabs die, and it’s just an ongoing cycle.” This year, Olive and 14 other volunteers from Boy Scouts, Brazoria County and Texas Parks and Wildlife manned 7 boats for 6 hours, fanning out into the lakes and bayous that eventually feed into Christmas Bay. They covered more area than in years past. “It was definitely our most extensive coverage,” says Olive. In all, the group collected over 60 crab traps. Bruce Bodson of the Lower Brazos Riverwatch was one of the volunteers. When he returned to shore, he stomped on the cages he’d collected so they couldn’t be used again. Since 2002 when the law took effect, over 33,820 abandoned crab traps have been retrieved from Texas coastal waters, from Sabine Lake to Brownsville, with volunteers in the Galveston Bay area and San Antonio Bay consistently collecting the most traps.
