Owners, operators continue clean-up from Tropical Storm Beta - Galveston County Daily News

Fishing seems to be taking a back seat to the post-Tropical Storm Beta clean-ups. There continued to be flooding from rainwater making its way down already swollen creeks, rivers and bayous Thursday.

Repairs to waterfront facilities also are taking the attention of owners and operators.

Several of the island bait shops were closed Thursday, while repairs were being made for a possible reopening this weekend.

GYB Bait Camp at the yacht basin was the only one called that answered the phone, and staff there reported supplies of live bait including shrimp, mullet and piggy perch.

So, if you plan to wet a line this weekend, where would be the best place? We mentioned in Thursday's Reel Report that offshore fishing should be worthwhile, as winds and seas are forecast to be light, and there is no threat of storms.

Other than that, spots nearer to inlets to the Gulf should be the best. If fishing in East or West bays, don't forget to try the many drains into those areas. Often following high water levels, fish will stack up waiting for bait to wash out of the marshes and back lakes.

Fresh water likely will be the fly in the ointment, as so much flooding rainwater is washing into the Galveston Bay Complex. Before Beta hit, there was much fresh water pouring into Trinity Bay from the Trinity River. The tropical storm compounded that problem with more water being released.

Reds and other bottom feeders would be my target this weekend. I hope after a number of days with no heavy rains, conditions in the bays will begin to improve.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
