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…

This past weekend started off with the winds blowing upwards of 30 mph Saturday, so I had to reschedule Saturday’s trip. Sunday, the weather was nice, and we caught some fish. I had return customer Vincent and his family for a morning on Galveston Bay. We got a late start because we had to wait on the live shrimp to get…
Last week the Galveston weather couldn’t seem to make up it’s mind. We had a couple days that seemed like we were in the middle of May with warm conditions, then the next thing I know it is 42 degrees after one of my gigging trips! The high southerly winds that we had before the northern front came thru pushed all the water…

By Larry Bozka In just the short time we’ve been here, the waves of the Galveston ship channel have doubled in size.

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…
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…

Josh booked his first trip with me 2 weeks ago, and wanted to come back for more! The first hour was a little slow, with only 6 fish for our efforts. The fish were…
