Anglers have had some nice fishing weather for several days, and it could not have come at a better time.

Anglers should get a break in the weather, as nice conditions are in the forecast for the next several days. This comes on top of a rough first half of the month when one cold front after another kept the waters around Galveston in poor condition.

We are entering the second half of November, and it should be a fantastic time to hit the water and enjoy some nice catches. The recent series of strong cold fronts has helped to pave the way.

Bitter cold winds held things back on the fishing scene Wednesday, and it was more like a day in January than November.

We will start today’s article with additional reports from last weekend.

A great weekend of fishing took place Saturday and Sunday, with Saturday being the better of the two days for catches.

Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous day, as predicted by the weather forecasters and there was a lot of activity on the water. Overall, fishing was on the slow side, except flounder anglers did find limits of their favorite fish but not as quickly as earlier in the weekend.

Anglers have a couple of days to enjoy some nice fishing conditions before the next blast of Arctic winds hit Monday night.

Saturday and Sunday look to be good fishing days around Galveston. Fall fishing is in full swing, and that is music to the ears of many anglers.

East Bay was one of the hot spots, with mid-bay reefs producing nice reds while trout were working the birds all around the bay.

A moderate to occasionally strong east wind raised its ugly head Wednesday. However, that did not stop the action from protected areas.

Our fall fishing is definitely underway. Flounder continue their annual migration to the Gulf, as the smaller males are now making their way through the passes and other pathways to their winter spawning grounds.

The action was hot and heavy for flounder along the Galveston Ship Channel on Sunday afternoon.

Saturday afternoon and Sunday there was some excellent red fish action all around West Bay.

Saturday there was not a lot of action on the water, as more attention was being given to other events around Galveston. This is typical most years when the Lone Star Rally takes place.

Conditions started settling Friday afternoon, and a few anglers took advantage of them.

We welcome the month of November today and hopefully the start of a great month for fishing.

I do not think we will see any anglers out “trick-or-trouting” today or in the next couple of days. If the forecasts hold, we will experience some of the coldest weather in October that I have seen in all of my years of fishing the Galveston area.

What has happened to the “Indian Summer” days that have been so prevalent this time of year?
