A Day of Strange Fishing (Texas)
January 31, 2006
With gusty winds, it figured there was simply no way that fish could’ve possibly been caught. Well, not only did anglers find a way, on four different occasions they did it, and each in a most bizarre manner.
Bizarre One: in Galveston they have seen some most irregular goings on, "and to be quite honest about it, I’m not sure that the word UNUSUAL is emphatic enough." “We’ve been catching hardheads (catfish) out here, and not just a few. There have been a lot, and I always thought that January was way too early for hardhead catfish.” Since we really haven’t had a winter, maybe the fish are confused as to when they are supposed to be here.
In Bizarre Two, a good number of blue crabs were caught Thursday, and while the figures didn’t constitute a “run” of any kind, it was still PECULIAR to see crabs decked in January.
Bizarre Three: “We had some kind of crab caught that had 10 legs that each were 2-feet long. I have no idea what it was.”
Bizarre Four: at the Texas City Dike on Thursday what they saw was every bit as UNUSUAL. Five people caught hefty black drum fish. “It sure does look like the drum run is early this year”...not just early, Very early!
