Harry Arthur Galveston, Texas Reported: 2 years ago

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.

Fishing has been great lately in the bayous and marsh with the recent warmer weather. We have been using live shrimp under popping corks targeting the reefs and ledges along deeper water. Should only get better as we go into spring and early summer.

Fishing has been slow for us, due to the weather and low tides. Making the water dirty and tough fishing.

Fishing for reds drum and sheep head have been fantastic. The last couple of weeks the trout are just now moving in and the trout bite is picking up. Bay waters are warming up surf is turning green. It's time to go fishing.

We enjoyed the fishing trip with Ralph. He tried really hard to get us to where the fish were biting.

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.
