Galveston East Bay 1/1/2024
Jan 1, 2024 Bolivar Peninsula
Surface water temperature back up to 60 degrees, overall water clarity = Good. North Winds and Low Outgoing Tides have forced us to adjust our tactics, so we have concentrated back in the marsh/bayou areas where we can get some protection from the wind and wave action, as well as find enough water to fish effectively. This Redfish bite has been good around areas where good current flow has bait up against the shorelines/grass lines in 1 to 2 feet of water on shrimp imitation lures under Fish Smack popping corks with an 18โ€ leader, as well as 1/8โ€ jig heads with Glow/Chartreuse Deadly Dudley Rat Tails. Our best solid trout bite this week has been fishing deeper pockets with shell, close to mud flats, triggering the most strikes.

Surface water temperature 57 degrees, water clarity = Good. Northeast winds have once again forced us to adjust our tactics, so we have concentrated back in the marsh areas where we can get some protection from the wind and wave action. This week the Redfish bite has been good around areas where good current flow has bait up against the shorelines/grass lines in 2 to 3 feet of water on shrimp imitation lures under Fish Smack popping corks with an 18โ€ leader. Our best solid trout bite this week has been on ยผ oz jig heads with the Deadly Dudley 5โ€ Rat Tail in Blue Moon / Chartreuse, fishing deeper pockets with shell, close to mud flats, triggering the most strikes. As in previous weeks if we donโ€™t see any nervous bait activity, we move on rather quickly and cover more water finding the zones where the fish are active.

Surface water temperature 58 degrees, water clarity = Good. Drains around grass lines have worked well for us this week for Redfish, when we have good tide movement. We have still been catching trout over mud flats with scattered shell, as well as in the marsh areas in and around deeper cuts. A few birds working but did not see as much bird action as the previous week. Shrimp imitation lures with Fish Smack popping corks, with 14โ€ - 18โ€ leaders have still been producing the most bites for our anglers, resulting in great success on our chartered trips, as well as Deadly Dudley Terror Tails in Blue Moon Chartreuse on 1/4 and 1/8 oz jig heads, depending upon wind conditions and water depth. The bite should continue to improve as the water cools and the days are getting shorter, so now is a great time to enjoy some time on the water with fewer crowds and active fish.

Surface water temps 87 degrees, water clarity varies, west of Yates Bayou being the cleanest looking water. Winds have been out of the South most of the week in the 10-20 mph range for the most part, other than when storm clouds have rolled by. We dodged a few storms this week and cancelled 1 trip after 2 efforts to make a go of it. This week fishing over oyster reefs in 6 to 8 feet of water produced some excellent catching for us, including Speckled Sea Trout, Sand Trout, Redfish and Black Drum. Shrimp imitation lures under popping corks have still been the ticket for us, and Purple/Chartreuse has worked well with ยผ oz jig heads, with the majority of our fish being caught in the upper portion of the water column. Early mornings when we have found good bait activity we have been able to locate trout around drains, but for the most part these areas fizzled out on us within the first hour or so. Birds are still working in the bay, as fish are still feeding on shrimp, so if you can find them the action is fast, but short lived in most cases. Our artificial trips have once again produced better fish and more numbers as well vs throwing live shrimp. Please remember to drink plenty of water and bring plenty of sunscreen, as we have ventured into the time of year when it gets extremely hot on the water and it is critical you stay hydrated and do not get overheated or sunburned.

Surface water temps 86 degrees, water clarity varies depending upon what part of the bay you are in. Winds have been out of the Southwest most of the week, in the 12-25 mph range, making it difficult to fish the open water reefs on most days, and has muddied up the water in a number of areas. When the conditions allow, we have been catching solid trout and bull reds over reefs, making for some great fun. When the wind is up, we have been limited to fishing drains, grass lines, and protected shell beds. This week we have been throwing blue moon artificials, as well as shrimp imitation lures under popping corks, with both working well when we locate baitfish and shrimp in the area. Birds are still working in the bay, but this week they only produced small trout when we found them. Live shrimp has produced Reds and trout, on our live bait trips, but catching slot reds has been more difficult than previous weeks for us in East Bay. Please remember to drink plenty of water and bring plenty of sunscreen, as we have ventured into the time of year when it gets extremely hot on the water and it is critical you stay hydrated and do not get overheated or sunburned.

Galveston East Bay 6/16/2023 Surface water temps 85 degrees, water clarity good in most places within East Galveston Bay. Winds have been out of the Southwest most of the week, in the 12-25 mph range, making it difficult to fish the open water reefs on most days. When the conditions allow, we have been catching solid trout and bull reds over reefs, making for some great fun.

This week we have been throwing White Ice artificials, as well as shrimp imitation lures under popping corks, with both working well when we locate baitfish and shrimp in the area. Birds are still working in the bay, but this week they only produced small trout and plenty of gafftop when we found them. Please remember to drink plenty of water and bring plenty of sunscreen, as we have ventured into the time of year when it gets extremely hot on the water and it is critical you stay hydrated and do not get overheated or sunburned.
