Fishing is starting to heat up with the incoming cold front. The last couple of weeks fishing was good for trout and redfish using live shrimp. The upper Galveston bay is holding lots of specks and redfish using live bait fishing over shell. Now is the time to book a trip for some great fishing. The Galveston jetties still holding some nice sheep heads and some redfish. The beach fishing is good for pan fish. Overall fishing is great.

Redfish have been plentiful in the bays ,rivers and, back lakes. Trout bite is good when the wind allows us to get out into the bay. Flounder are starting to fill channels and drains on their big move to spawn. Live shrimp under a popping cork, gulp on a jighead , and free lining mullet have been the ticket.

Fishing is red hot the upper end of Galveston bay. Lots of trout on live shrimp along with some redfish. West bay is a little slow because of the windy days. Galveston jetties still holding some nice sheep heads and some bull reds on live shrimp. East bay is good for trout under birds. Over all the water is around 65 degrees. After this weekend the fishing should be great. Be safe have fun.

    Captain Jay is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just got home from our 5hr trip and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jay is informative, funny, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable on the water. His vast knowledge of fishing left us with new techniques that we’ll be able to use from here on out. If you’re looking for a stellar guide for you or your family/friends, don’t look any further. Jay is definitely your guy. We will absolutely book with him again! -Anna and Cian

    Amazing experience! Captain Chad drove 50 miles to the next city just so we’d have good live bait for our trip. With that being said we caught 40 fish and 20 keepers. Even managed to get on some Reds in late January weather. We will definitely be booking another trip with Captain “Chappy”. If you’re looking to catch fish in a relaxed setting with someone who knows there stuff, look No Further.
