Yesterday afternoon we took the boat out on Galveston Bay. When we left the Galveston channel around 2 the bay was smooth enough to open the throttle. It must have been somewhere close to 60˚. We polled around Greens Lake for a bit, but saw no fish. Low tide was hours before, but it was still low midwinter water, about 8″ where it would normally be at least a foot. By three the wind had picked up to about 15 and shifted to the northeast. The temperature was dropping and the ride home was a tooth-rattler. Today in Houston there’s snow, and it’s 27˚.
Sun is shining, and we’re in the Intercoastal.
These were the only other flats skiffs we saw.
