Lots of fresh run off. Fresh on top and salty on bottom. Fishing is still slow. I did managed to catch a good limited of trout before the rain came. The Galveston jetties still holding a few fish using live shrimp. West bay is a good place to fish the fresh water doesn’t hurt that bay. Next full moon the trout will be spawning always remember all fish spawn on a full moon. Thanks and good luck fishing.

Galveston bay is still putting up some nice stringers. Artificial and live shrimp have been working on the speckled trout. Live shrimp have been the ticket for redfish.

Fishing is in full swing. With consistent weather, winds and water temperatures the fish have congregating in the same area of being able to locate them relatively in that same location every day. Fishing has been beyond great and will continue to get better with the consistency of these water...

First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

Hey folks, I wanted to give a review for my time fishing with Captain Chris in Galveston West Bay. Fishing overall was tough due to some wicked calm conditions during the October Super Moon. Capt. Chris went above and beyond to put us on fish. He is truly a gifted guide, who balances fishing conditions and personalities together, a rare find indeed.

I actually fished with Jay. I had a wonderful time learning a new area and new (to me) techniques. The fishing was slow, but that was out of his control, and immaterial. That’s why they call it fish8ng, and not catching. I was very impressed with Jay’s knowledge of the area and of fishing. I would definitely book him again.
