Fishing continues to be on fire. Live bait has been my go to from the boat. Wade fishing with artificials had also produced good stringers of trout.

Spring fishing is in full swing. That usually means great weather and hit or miss catching. We have been throwing a variety of lures and live shrimp. Most days we are catching fish, although not always full limits.

Deer Park, Texas
Reported: 1 year ago

Fishing is slow because of the weather as soon as the weather settles down the fish will start feeding again. Remember this is the winter months. If you find the bait jumping you need to fish that area. The best time to fish is on an incoming tide. Stay safe...

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.
