Captain Jeff Brandon Fishing Report

Surface water temperature is 62 degrees. The water clarity has been very good for East Galveston Bay. This week we shifted our focus towards redfish, and they did not disappoint with great catches over Thanksgiving Week. Active bait in the area is critical, so if you don’t see bait or signs of life, don’t spend a whole lot of time in the area.

We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & Fishbites tails under Fish Smack popping corks, with a 12 to 18″ leader to trigger the majority of our bites, as well as weightless Deadly Dudley Rat Tails and WacAttack Flukes in lighter colors. We have been experiencing our best success in the back lakes over shell beds and along grass lines, points and drains.

We have also managed to catch keeper trout and good size Sand Trout over the mid bay reefs, with some giant redfish joining in on the fun as well. The crowds have thinned out, so now is the time to schedule your fall / winter fishing trips and get out enjoy all the upper Texas Coast has to offer.
