Surface water temperature 82 degrees. The water clarity is about average now for East Galveston Bay, with clearer water as you get west of Stingaree. This week we have enjoyed light North winds, which allowed us the opportunity to fish wherever we chose. We have focused on grass shorelines with nervous shrimp present finding some trout and the reds have absolutely been on FIRE. We have utilized Imitation shrimp lures under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader, as well as 1/16 oz jig heads with tails by WacAttack fished slowly. Fish Bites also performed very well when fished under a popping cork.
If you like fishing under the birds they are pretty much all over the Bay, and some have better trout mixed in. If you see Reefs with birds sitting on the water, the fish are close by. The crowds have thinned now that Labor Day has passed, and fishing is heating up with the surface temp dips, with less fishing pressure and cooler air temps on the way, so get your friends and family and get out on the water.
