Captain Jeff Brandon Fishing Report

Surface temperature 86 degrees in East Galveston Bay. The water has looked very good this week in the majority of East Bay. This week we were able to fish shoreline shell, off the shore Reefs, and grass lines in the marsh. Depending upon the day/tide/weather, all were able to produce some exceptional results for our anglers, so take your pick on the kind of fishing areas you prefer to fish. As we have mentioned in the past, look for signs of life where are are fishing and if you find some active fish, fish the area with precision.

We are utilizing MirrOdines, soft body Swim Baits, and Tails with 1/8 oz heads. Our clients are also still enjoying solid success using Fish Smack Popping corks with a 1-to-2-foot leader above shrimp imitation lures. The Topwater bite is still excellent when utilized on our early morning and late afternoon trips and should continue to produce. Crowds are now beginning to thin out some on the Bay system, so grab your family and friends and get out and enjoy the Upper Texas Coast.
