Surface water temperature 70 degrees, water clarity = Good in East Galveston Bay. Points, Drains, and flats with scattered shell have produced some good catches of trout, reds, and a few flounder on our artificial lure trips in the 2-to-3-foot depth range. For us this past week, if we find nervous bait the fish are there, so when we don’t see bait activity we move on rather quickly. Birds are still working throughout the bay, so you can still pick off a few decent trout when you find them. If the birds are working up near the shoreline or in very shallow water hovering the surface, the Redfish are feeding on shrimp.
Fishbites Fight Club Fight,n Shrimp with Fish Smack popping corks, with 12-14” leaders have still been producing bites for our anglers, as well as rigged weedless when fishing super shallow grass lines, resulting in success on our chartered trips. Wac Attack Trails in Rollover Moon on 1/4 and 1/8 oz jig heads, depending upon wind conditions and water depth, are doing a good for our anglers as well.
The bite should continue to improve as the water cools with this impending Front. The days are getting shorter and the crowds have thinned, so grab your friends and family and get out and enjoy some quality time together on the water.
