Lots of fresh run off. Fresh on top and salty on bottom. Fishing is still slow. I did managed to catch a good limited of trout before the rain came. The Galveston jetties still holding a few fish using live shrimp. West bay is a good place to fish the fresh water doesn’t hurt that bay. Next full moon the trout will be spawning always remember all fish spawn on a full moon. Thanks and good luck fishing.

Galveston bay is still putting up some nice stringers. Artificial and live shrimp have been working on the speckled trout. Live shrimp have been the ticket for redfish.

Fishing is in full swing. With consistent weather, winds and water temperatures the fish have congregating in the same area of being able to locate them relatively in that same location every day. Fishing has been beyond great and will continue to get better with the consistency of these water...

We had a great fishing trip with Ryan in the Intracoastal near the San Bernard River. Caught 8 keepers but had lots of action that we caught and released. Very knowledgeable. Our grandson had a ball!

Ralph was awesome with us. Making sure we on the fish the whole time. Easily we all caught 15-20 fish a piece. Three big reds were caught along with tons of sand trout. We also all caught 30 or so gafftop catfish as well.

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.

Shawn did a great job. None of us had been tarpon fishing before. We saw several schools and ended up catching 2 nice ones between 110 and 140 lbs. I would fish with Shawn again.
