Fishing the Jetty Rocks, 61st Pier, Galveston

The date was November 27, 2021. We had a very short window of opportunity to fish before the rain moved in. The winds were coming in from the east at about 5 mph. With the recent swings in weather, I decided to bank fish and leave the kayak for another day.

    Had alot of great memories on that pier from 1980 to 93. Alicia knocked it down in 83', it used to go out alot further and had a real t-head. met some nice old-timers back then; Badweather Jack, Treat, Delton, Russel M., we'd live on that pier for a solid week in the summer. good times...

    The coffee on there could hold a spoon up during the night. I managed a 38 lb red off the t-head. I think it was the second largest that year from that pier. One night I was fishing with a buddy right in the middle of the t and about one am decided to get a coffee. Lots of people fishing. Got back and everyone on the pier was standing in the middle with my buddy holding a bundle of every line one the pier. He cut the leader off and handed me my rod. I asked what had happened and he said as soon as I walked off something hit my line and went to the left end of the pier catching every line and then reversed and caught all the lines to the right end of the pier. I asked if he had any idea what it was. He said yeah it's in the ice chest. That's how he knew which leader was mine. It pays to have a big fishing buddy in times like that. Oh, and it was a good sized gafftop.

    That’s good sportsmanship to give your left over bait away to the next fisherman. Great job
