Surface water temps 85 degrees, water clarity good in most places for East Galveston Bay. We have been able to find a good number of baitfish, and shrimp and the predators have been close by. Grass lines up in the marsh and in and around drains have produced Redfish, Flounder, and Black Drum for us, utilizing live shrimp, under a popping cork, as well as paddle tails and ¼ oz jig heads. Purple with Chartreuse worked well for us this week. Open water reefs are producing, but the fish are hard to find, but once you find them you can really get into some good action if the timing / tides are right. This week we had our best catches on artificial shrimp imitation lures under a popping cork and a 12” leader. This produced bull reds as well as a number of solid trout over the past week. Don’t ignore the birds either as Reds and Trout are mixed in with the Gafftops.
Now is the perfect time to hit the water with Family, Friends, and Clients, and as always, we will design a trip around your expectations, and guarantee you will have a great time fishing Galveston Bay.
