The Galveston jetties lots of sharks, sheep heads, a few trout and redfish. Upper Galveston Bay water is around 87 degrees need to fish deep for fish. West bay good for specks with live croakers. Overall fishing is fair.

Galveston, TX July 9th
In this weeks fishing report, we have a tale that will make you reel with laughter! The weather was scorching hot, and so were the catches out on the water. Offshore, the red snapper were putting on quite the show, flaunting their vibrant colors.
Meanwhile, inshore,
the big black drum were strutting their stuff like they were auditioning for a fishy fashion show. These drummers had rhythm, and they weren't afraid to shake their tail fins to the beat of the ocean.
But wait, the excitement didn't stop there. Sharks were crashing the party, doing their best impersonation of Jaws. They were the ultimate party crashers. It was a real-life thriller, and the fishermen couldn't help but hum the iconic "dun-dun" theme song as they reeled in their lines.
And let's not forget about the stingrays, the underwater pranksters of the sea. They were like stealthy ninjas, sneaking up on unsuspecting anglers and giving them a shocking surprise.
So, if you're looking for an adventure on the water. From diva snappers to dancing drummers, from shark scares to stingrays , it's a show that Mother Nature herself would applaud. Just remember to bring your sense of humor,and sunblock because you never know what surprises await you beneath the waves!

The Southwest winds is hurting the fishing. It's keep the tide to low. We still managed to catch a few trout and redfish using live shrimp or croakers fishing on the bottom near deep water. The Galveston jetties still got a lot of small sharks on cut bait. The best place to fish is Ali the Houston Ship Channel. The water temperature is 87 degrees. The heat index is around 110 degrees. So be very careful drink a lot of water. Fish early or late. Maybe try night fishing. Captain Mike

Triple Tail are normally pretty rare to find in Galveston Bay. However, after setting apart a day to chase the elusive fish we managed to find a giant! The fish tipped the scales at 25lbs. It was by far the biggest one I have ever seen. Congrats to my customer...

    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.
