Surface water temperature 51 degrees. The water clarity is good this week for East Galveston Bay. This past week we had more fronts push through again, as well as super low water levels in the bay system, which is typical for this time of the year. On our morning trips we have fished falling tides, catching some solid fish and some oversize fish as well. The ticket the past few days has been fishing on transition zones / drop offs (super slow) with 1/4 oz jig heads with white / chartreuse paddle tails, as well as Mirrorlure Suspending Hard Baits.
Please watch the Major/Minor Fish Times, as this past week, that has been when the bite really turned on for us. The redfish bite has been consistent around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to trigger bites, as well as weightless FishBite Paddle Tails over super shallow water.
This time of year brings some of the best opportunities for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, and bigger fish on the prowl, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends. Be mindful of the tides, and precise in your navigational skills, as you can really get yourself in a bind if fishing mornings with these low tides this time of the year.
