The Trinity Bay fishing scene features some of the best inshore fishing you can find in Texas. Located in the northern part of Galveston Bay, this is a rich natural habitat, with bayous, flats, and marshes all around. Consistently great weather makes Trinity Bay a true year-round fishery, but the most popular time to sink a line here is during the fall months.
This is one of the best places on the Texas Gulf Coast to catch an “Inshore Grand Slam” – Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. You’ll get to explore some of the most beautiful views as you enjoy your day in this natural gem. Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Mangrove Snapper are also in the cards, as well as the occasional Shark and Mackerel.
These waters are fairly easy to navigate, as they’re shallow and calm. You can head out on a half day trip and spend some quality time with your family, or teach the little ones all about the joys of fishing. If you’re looking to maximize your chances of filling the bags with some delicious table fare, a full day trip is probably the best option.
And what part of this stunning body of water do you visit? Wherever you go around Trinity Bay, you’re bound to come across a variety of fishing charters. Visit Baytown or Clear Lake and take your pick. San Leon is also a great place to visit and hop aboard a vessel.
