Surface water temperature 80 degrees. The water clarity is very good for East Galveston Bay, with average clarity throughout the bay system. The redfish bite was excellent again for us this week, 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 Deadly Dudley Rat Tails, and WacAttack Flukes, in lighter colors with 1/8 oz jig heads. Jerk baits and swimbaits are still triggering some bites as well, if you like throwing those style baits.
The last few days on the flats we have enjoyed most of our success on the Popping Cork with artificial catching the best trout, as well as the most numbers. We have been catching some nice Flounder on our trips on high tides up in the flooded grass. The Reef action has continued to pick up, when the wind conditions allow it, so keep that in mind as well as you venture out into the bay.
