Captain Jeff Brandon Fishing Report

Surface water temperature 77 degrees. Water clarity is still good for East Galveston Bay. We are still fishing back in the marsh and back lakes the majority of the time, as well as the better protected shorelines of the intracoastal. We have fished Flats with scattered shell in areas with good tide movement, and bait present, resulting in good numbers of trout, although lots of smaller fish in the mix.

The Redfish have still been around grass lines where nervous bait is close by. Imitation Shrimp lures under popping corks with 12” leaders have still been producing very well for our anglers, as well as Fishbite tails, resulting in success on our chartered trips. We have also fished 1/8 oz jig heads with Wac Attack and Deadly Dudley tails in lighter colors, as well as weedless swimbait hooks with tails when fishing flooded grass.

We are finding some flounder as well along drains where bait is present, so remember this Friday is the last day to keep legal flounder. Still looking forward to this week’s cold front to get the water temperatures to dip, but overall fishing has still been solid. The crowds have thinned, so grab your friends and family and get out and enjoy God’s beauty in the great state of Texas.
