Churchill Bayou (TX) Fishing Reports (October 2026)

Flounder fishing and flounder gigging have been fire!

Awesome weather has been the norm for the last few weeks. Light winds and cool temps have provided pleasant fishing conditions. The next couple of months should be excellent fishing on Galveston bay. Falling temps should trigger the shrimp to leave the marshes. This will provide good opportunities to catch fish in Galveston bay.

2 man limit yesterday morning fishing

Fished only for flounder Saturday. Found them laying up in shallow water at the mouth of bayous , drains and channels.
The front this week should get them going even better. Its time to box Flounder before the 'Flounder Shutdown' Nov 1 - Dec 15.

Reds are red hot the time is now let's go fishing!

Bull Redfishing is in full swing.

Black drum

Galveston complex is getting ready to be red hot for fishing, Galveston jetties still holding lots of oversized redfish using cut bait on the bottom. West bay is starting to have some birds working over live shrimp, lots of sand trouts and a few specks under birds. East bay is holding lots of specks and a few redfish using live shrimp. The upper Galveston bay a few redfish and sheep heads holding around the rocks off of the channel. Water temperature is 77 degrees.

Fishing has been good during the early morning bite with cooler temperatures.

It been pretty much a red fish rodeo the last 2 weeks. High tides have pushed the red fish deep into the marsh. Live shrimp under a popping cork has bee been the best producer. However TopWater lures and paddle tail jigs have also taken there share of nice slot and upper slot fish.
