A reader sent a note that pretty well describes the situation for many Galveston area anglers. In his note he said, “My fishing has come to a complete stand still — it is simply too hot!”
Yes the heat, even in the morning hours, is playing havoc with fishermen. However, night fishing has been much more comfortable and also productive.
