Fishing has been great over the last 7 days, but totally different this year than previous years. Usually by now the sheepshead have started moving out and the reds are gettin full on hungry and bitin, but we are still catching some sheeps as of yesterday along with more keeper reds, some trout, flounder and even some bull reds. Wind has been pretty brutal, so jetty fishing is hard this time of year, but we are seeing some bull reds move into the jetty along with jack crevalle.

Usually by now the sheepshead have started moving out and the reds are gettin full on hungry and bitin, but we are still catching some sheeps as of yesterday along with more keeper reds, some trout, flounder and even some bull reds. Wind has been pretty brutal, so jetty fishing is hard this time of year, but we are seeing some bull reds move into the jetty along with jack crevalle. The flats have been hit or miss and you just have to really know fish patterns to stay on top of finding them. There are bull reds bitin in spots I haven’t seen before, and the trout seem to be much more active, but we are catchin lots of shorts. It’s not hard to find fish, but it is fun this time of year to figure out what the fish are bitin on and when they are the hungriest. They might love some soft plastics one day, then hate them the next and want some live bait. That might even be the same scenario from morning to afternoon and since I am on the water almost every day, I see the changes. Yesterday was a slam of a great morning with my two customers, but by my afternoon trip with only one customer on the boat, even though we caught 8 different species of fish, all but two were short of being keepers. We did come home with fish for him to take home for dinner, but we fought hard for it!

In Galveston West Bay Reds and Flounder have been equally consistent on both artificials and live bait. Trout have been up and down as far as numbers per trip but will be picking up more and more as the month goes on.

Redfish is going crazy in Galveston bay. Using live shrimp fish close to standing rocks off the ship channel. The Galveston Jetties holding lots of pan fish along with some trout and drum fish. Overall fishing is good in the Galveston complex.

Fishing has been great on the bite during mid and ending of tides. Keepers other than black drum have been a hit or miss. The schooling size reds are plentiful. Small trout running the shallows, larger trout are staying deep still along the channel. Fish have been hitting live and dead shrimp and mid water plastics

I continue to beat up on the red fish. The marsh has begun to fill back up. And the redfish are flooding in. We have been catching them with artificials and live shrimp. The trout bite has been slow for me. I just haven't been targeting them. Seems like we are having an early spring, water temperatures have already been in the upper 70 degrees. Wind will be the big issue going forward till June. This will only play into my hands, because I have bee catching fish in some very dirty water.

    Trip: "Trout Man Mike" Adventures

    Captain Lance gave us the shark trip of a lifetime! From the moment we got on the boat, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. We ended up catching some big stingrays and several awesome sharks, and every fight had us pumped. Captain Lance worked hard to keep us on fish and was always willing to help, answer questions, and make sure we had the best experience possible. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water and want a real shot at catching some monsters, I can’t recommend Captain Lance enough. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with him. Thanks again for making it such an incredible experience!

    Great experience with Pedro, caught many species of fish by the jetties, then we went after sharks and we hooked 2, one 4ft black tip (amazing areal show) but broke my lines, then a hammer head that was 6ft plus but broke out line right at the boat, all in all great outing.

    Out guide, Kevin, did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend him. There were four of us in our group including 2 experienced anglers, one semi experienced, and one who was very inexperienced. Kevin did a great job keeping everyone involved, baited, and altered approaches based on skill level. He worked very hard to put us on fish. He even cleaned our fish at the end of the trip. Again, I would higly recommend.
