Sunday I had return customer, Colton, his sons Christian and Trey as well and his friend Shane. Despite the full moon the past couple days, we were able to put some very nice Speckled Trout in the box. The bait of choice was live shrimp under a Cajun Thunder Popping Cork, with a few fish being caught free lining shrimp as…
I had Pete and his 12 year old son Benny for an afternoon trip yesterday. I knew going into the trip, that the bite would likely be tough because of the slack tide. The tides were very high, and very, very little current moving. The incoming tide in the morning was the time to be fishing, but sometimes you just…
We had a fair weekend of fishing. The speckled trout action for us has been a little slow. The rainstorm we had Thursday night muddied the waters which hurts the trout bite. The redfish, flounder and puppy drum action is pretty hot right now. We caught allot of redfish. Many of them under the 20″ minimum length requirement, but still a…
The weather the past few days has been almost perfect for being on Galveston Bay. Other than a fog delay Sunday, we could not ask for better weather conditions. We caught some good fish. Redfish, Black Drum, Big bull black drum, Sheepshead, and Gulf Trout were on the hook this weekend. Water clarity has cleared up from the recent rains…

Fishing on the Rocks It’s not just what you catch, but what you might encounter, that makes Texas jetty fishing such an incredible experience. By Larry Bozka In just the short time we’ve been here, the waves of the Galveston ship channel have doubled in size. The breakers are chest-high now, charging past the boat like determined soldiers only to fall headfirst…
I made a couple of flounder gigging trips this past week in Galveston Bay. The flounder are beginning their migration back into Galveston Bay . We found theflounder in sand and shell adjacent to deep water channels. I was very surprised to see as many nice size flounder this early. We are nearing the end of February, and I believe this spring is gonna be an…

Catching shallow water Galveston Redfish on Topwater is one of my favorite types of fishing. Catching Galveston Redfish is fun anyway you do it, but nothing can compare to enticing a big Redfish into eating a topwater lure. First of all, the water I fish for topwater Redfish is shallow. When I say shallow – I am talking 6 to 18 inches! Yes, Redfish feed in that shallow of water. …
I made a quick solo trip last night to check water clarity after the rains we have been having. The tide was EXTREMELY high. The water is in good shape though. I saw 8 flounder and stuck these 4 for supper tonight. I am anticipating a Great Galveston Bay Spring Flounder Run. There was allot of bait in the area…
