tvc184 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 [quote name="rykerx144" post="1014809" timestamp="1306581299"]alright? liltex jvc?? any good fishing going on around the PA area?[/quote]There must be if he is catching them in Keith Lake. About time too.........
liltex Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 I can't help you as I've never fished the area in question incl.Sabine Pass or the lake.Not that I wouldn't like to but having never wet a line there & I wish I knew a little about the area to go try sometime.Fish alot from Anahuac to H.Island/Bolivar.I have a generator w/2 1,000 watt stage floodlights give me a shout and we'll give it a try sometime.
rykerx144 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Im pretty familiar with your area having lived in winnie several years. Ive spent many nights at rollover and Meacom's. Im having to learn the PA area and its pretty confusing!
liltex Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 But I live in Moss Hill some 20 mi.west of Sour Lake on hwy 105 ;)
bullets13 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 two of us limited out on nice specks in an hour and 20 minutes this evening on keith lake :)

bullets13 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 11 trout and 1 flounder tonight. thought tvc was gonna go, then he couldn't, then he could but i missed his text message. we'll make it happen soon.
tvc184 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 But I made it today. I only fished about 2.5 hours and had to leave. We had 5 in the boat by then but Trece and his buddy are still out there. We had four specks (20, 18, 18, 15.5) and one redfish (27.5). Trece had two specks and the red and I got two specks.
bullets13 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 ended up with 2 more reds and a speck after you left in about 2 more hours. pretty slow. glad you could make it out!
westend1 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 My son fished until 11:00 last night on a lighted pier at pleasure island with only 1 speck. It's just not quite right yet.
RonBurgundy68 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Going tonight to crab and fish around the rainbow bridge... Any ideas on what to use for bait? Live shrimp?
tvc184 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Usually live shrimp is good no matter what else is happening if you can get them but certainly not a necessity. I catch a lot of fish every year and rarely use any live shrimp unless I just get lucky and catch a few in a cast net while going for shad. What are you fishing for though?
liltex Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 6-4-11 Rollover report-Low water,no tide movement,off color water=empty cooler even w/lights.Left @ 2:00 am drove to Ft.Anahuac park lighted pier,again real low water level and dead baitfish,flounder,rat reds,and others and a awful stinch.Went over to the Trinity river boat ramps there @ daybreak and the water was silver w/dead fish churned up by boats launching .Literally thousands of pinfish types lay all over the mud along the shores.I would not wanna be around after today.Guess the low tides,heat,lack of current,and a over population depleted the oxy levels.

[/quote]I was fishing for anything, but the current was too bad to fish. The current kept pushing the bait towards the bank. Caught a good amount of crabs though!

Millions of dead shad along with a few bigger fish. What I thought was whitecaps turned out to be dead fish near the Pleasure Island yacht club. We caught several keepers and lots of undersized trout under the birds, but I have never seen so many dead bait fish.
liltex Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 To Cool fishing site posters say the same about east galv.bay to trinity bay and everywhere in between but have not seen nor heard of the Texas Parks & Wildlife dept.make a statement about the causes for all the dead fish lately or if it's safe to consume your catches from these areas.
bullets13 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 fished N. Levee Road today, didn't do any good, but saw a few people catching a few. Fished Keith Lake tonight, and did very well.

liltex Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Yes they did Mat and my guess is they've overfished the area we went wednesday the past few weeks.A fellow on the boat 6-15 said monday 6-13 was a awesome day in the general area. 8)
Lefty99 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Has anyone been down to Seadrift lately? I am making a trip down there next Thursday for some wading, chasing birds, and hitting the back lakes. I'm not sure I can prep my tackle anymore than I have already but one things for sure. I won't forget my reef boots and ray guards!
