Last few trips have been mostly catch and release trips. Did not take a lot of pictures. Most days we are finding a good bite using artificial lures from the boat. Some days it takes time for the bite to materialize. Recent weather patterns are indicating an early spring. Water temperature have already reached mid 70 degrees. The shad spawn has already begun. So we will be using smaller baits to get our bites for the next 30days or so. Popping cork and shrimp will also become an effective method for catching fish.

The backwater is holding lots of redfish, some trout and some large sheepsheads. We’re using live shrimp fishing 4 to 6 feet deep along rocks. Spring Break is right around the corner, it’s time to get your kids outdoors!

Well to keep with the current trend, we had a strong cold front arrive, bringing strong North winds, and dipping water temperatures into the upper 40’s. By Saturday, the wind had switched back out of the East and as the day progressed, moved out of the South at 10 to 15mph. The morning air temperature started out at 41 degrees and was in the low 60’s around lunch time. The water was heavily stained in East Bay, and the wind did help keep the mosquito activity down a little less than what we have been encountering lately, but still need to spray yourself down with my recommended choice of Marshland Inspect Repellent, made here in the great state of Texas. Fished several areas, on an outgoing tide, where catching has been good of late, but found very few bites till late morning. As the day developed, the water began to heat up, bites increased, but the fish were very spread out. Most bites came on a ¼ oz jig head and plum/chartreuse tails, fished very slowly, as the fish were positioned in the deeper channels and bites were very light.
If the current trend continues, about 2 to 3 days after the front passes, the fishing normally peaks, so hit me up if you want to get on the water and do some 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.
