Grady Elliot and George Forrest caught 20 big speckled trout near the bulheads past Five Sale Pass Sunday. They fished with shrimp around 11 am, water clear and salty, in shallow east of the bulkheads. Vernon Jacobs caught a 22 inch redfish at Devils Elbow on Cedar Bayou Sunday afternoon. Day Lake yields white perch limits for Ray Garbour and daughter Cynthia, though small, plus several jiggle eye perch near a pound. Picketts Bayou remains good for white perch with camps and boats operating. several women used minnows at Goat House Slough. Flares near Houston Point will be cut off soon, ending night fishing at the sand-trout flares per state railroad commission orders.
