Catching lots of trout wading the shorelines of East and West Galveston Bay. Getting a few on topwaters, but most bites are on soft plastics (Down South Lures in color "Pink Flamingo").

Jay P.

Freeport, Texas

Reported 2 months ago

Fished the west Galveston area. Bottom of the tide at dawn. Water off color, wind 13 to 15 mph. Fished some artificial reef on the north side with live shrimp and popping corks. Picked up a few large gafftop and some sandtrout. Moved down couple hundred feet. Caught some specs and a upper slot red. Got a few more specs in chocolate bay. Some black drum and sheepshead in cold pass when the tide was ripping in. Slow bite but put together a nice box of fish

Fishing in the Freeport/ Galveston area is heating up. Popping cork and live shrimp has been effective near and over shell reefs. Knocker rigs against piers and bulkhead producing big sheepheads.

Jay made our fishing trip by far the best guided experience I have ever been on. We will for sure be booking another trip with him. If you are looking book a guided bay trip, I would recommend anyone to book with Jay.

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.
