Texas Fishing Reports

I've been going around the last week of September/ 1st week of October. Real good weather at the time. Darren with DW Service will be the go to guy in my book.

Make sure you have a small cooler for drinks or snacks and a poncho for wet weather. Other than that the captain took care of everything.

I am not knowledgeable enough to offer any meaningful advice. But I suppose everybody knows that it is just too hot to fish during the middle of the day in August. A morning or late afternoon trip would be more pleasant.

August is still a bit too hot! The sun will wear you down quickly. Make sure to hydrate and wear plenty of sunscreen as well as mosquito spray. As far as the fish, watch for the weather. The murky water after lots of rain can make it hard to see the bait and means less fish!

It was our first time and having someone who knew what they were doing makes all the difference!

We were fishing lake fork in Aug. Capt Jimmy was able to put us on the fish. They were tough to pull out of the cover but he was great in showing us how to get them to bite

First time out but fish weren't biting. The Capt even called others and they were having similar experiences.

It was my first time fishing out of this port, and it was easy, friendly, and not hard to find anything at all. Recommended.

Find a good guide because they put in the hard work of finding where the fish are biting.

I would recommend hiring a charter if you want to catch quality fish. If a charter is out of your budget, I recommend 61st street fishing pier...you will be able to get helpful fishing tips and techniques from experienced local anglers

Get a guide! They will help you understand the lake .and get on fish. If you take your boat on Lake Fork for the 1st time...beware of stumps. Be VERY careful when you leave the boat lanes.

Get Mike to show you around if you go whe. It's hot sun screen and could wTer

We had clear skies and some wind, but be prepared for the sun with lots of sun screen. Waves can pickup to so take meds for motion sickness hrs ahead of time if the bothers you.

Just enjoy the time and cherish the moments with luved ones fish or no fish just being together Its a Blessing well worth it

Book a charter and talk to your Captain about local establishments, restaurants and public fishing spots. Our Captain (Captain Reyes with Lucky 7 Guide Services) was very helpful and knowledgeable. We are glad we booked our trip shortly after our arrival in Palacios.

Be sure to take water and sunscreen. The breeze on the water is great but it is still very hot. We brought sandwiches each time just to have something to munch on.

Captains know best! Follow their recommendations and you’ll have a great time!

Sometimes the fishing is hard. If it were easy you are at the grocery store. Enjoy it anyway. Don't make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Conditions were tough. Very windy, but that was just the day we had to work with.

Absolutely fish in Galveston during June. Book with Island Fishing Guru!!!!
