Extended warm spell helped the fishing action with anglers catching speckled trout, flounder, pompano, drum, redfish, and sheepshead, but Sunday’s cold-front with north winds and rain may cool the bite somewhat. Hopefully, the front won’t chill the waters too much and the bite will pick back up on Wednesday. On the Galveston Bay fuel spill, at this writing we really don’t know when the Ferry will start back up or where this fuel slick is heading. Just keep in touch with Miss Nancy’s Bait Camp on Face Book and we’ll keep you updated. HOPE FOR THE BEST and PRAY for the birds.
