The fishing has been good. Catching lots of nice trout on finger mullet in the bays. Early morning top water bite has been excellent for big redfish and trout. Flounder gigging trips have also had good success.

Fishing on west Galveston bay continues to be on fire. Croaker and live shrimp continue to produce good boxes of fish. Some days we concentrate on red fish, other days we concentrate on trout then we finish out the day working on red fish.

Reported 3 years ago
Fishing has been excellent the last few weeks on Galveston bay. Lots of trout and redfish up shallow on sandbars in clean water has been the ticket for wading following the schools of mullet. Trout and bull reds have been thick in the surf when the wind allows. Mid bay reefs have also produced a solid trout bite in 4-6' of water

Fishing been good on live croaker working oyster reefs anywhere in the bay system. East, West, lower and trinity are all producing speckled trout on croaker. Just key in on moving tides for best results.

Although my traditional fishing areas for this time of year aren't producing very well, I have found some other areas that are producing . Some customers are wanting to only catch redfish and I have been fortunate to locate some . Some customers have been wanting speckled trout. And some days they cooperate and we are able to get our limit early before it gets too hot. And some days we have to work for them. Speckled trout have been best on live croaker. And the redfish have been consistent on popping cork and shrimp.

    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.
