I just wonder if we'll see some consistency in our weather. It has sure been breezy, with a couple days here and there of light winds. The good news to all this wind is the fish are still biting. It just makes it harder on the body, especially as you age. Capt. Shannon LaBauve of Galveston Offshore has been bouncing around between the jetties and the offshore waters of Galveston.

If you're a weekend warrior, the weather pattern looks to be consistent. You'll be greeted with hazy skies, thanks to the African dust, with winds out of the south at 10-15 miles per hour and most likely stronger during the afternoon hours. Outside air temperature may climb into the 90s, especially in the upper portion of the bay. Capt. Sammy Orlando with Fish409 Guide Service has been back on the water the past couple of days. He runs out of Sea Isle located on the West End.

I just want to thank everyone for all the fishing reports and catch photos. I will get them to print in the order I receive them, so it may be a week delay for your photo to be published. Please keep sending them in, I really appreciate the effort. Snapper season started off with a bang! Fred, David and Andrew Walker along with their friend Michael ventured 50 miles offshore of Galveston. They caught four limits of red snapper, including Fred's personal best, a 22-pounder.

Fishing is a lot like the weather - when it's good, it's good! Some great catches of fish were taken from Galveston Bay; here are just a few of the reports I've received. More to come in the next column. I fished with Oliver Chambers Jr. and his 14-year-old son Oliver III this past Friday after meeting them a little more than a month ago in Galveston at the Take a Kid Fishing event. There was an instant connection with them, as God good could only do.

Hurricane season 2025 begins Sundayand runs through Nov. 30. NOAA predicts an above average season with a total of 13-16 named storms, six to 10 of those becoming hurricanes, and three to five becoming major hurricanes. Where, when and how strong of a storm will hit the United States cannot be predicted. They become good at the numbers, but there so many other factors that come into play when a predicted storm makes landfall. All I can tell you is you best be prepared and don't hesitate to evacuate.

If you've been keeping up with my column, you might remember me mentioning a Texas state house bill authored by State Representative Terri-Leo Wilson that concerned the misrepresentation of wild caught shrimp. Well, I'm here to tell you that the Texas House of Representatives passed SB 823, just a few days after the Texas Senate passed the bill. Come Sept. 1, anyone ordering a dish in a restaurant in Texas that contains gulf shrimp or domestic shrimp can do so in confidence.

I've been trying for a couple weeks now to pin down Chris Edwards for a Lake Conroe fishing report. Edwards owns and operates Catch a Trophy Guide Service on this lake located just north of Houston. He always gives an extensive report, so let's get right to it. Edwards said, "The summer bite is on fire right now. Fishing has been really great for most species of fish. The lake level is right at 201 feet, which is normal pool. Water temps are running 79-83 degrees."Let's talk black bass.
