Galveston complex is getting ready to be red hot for fishing, Galveston jetties still holding lots of oversized redfish using cut bait on the bottom. West bay is starting to have some birds working over live shrimp, lots of sand trouts and a few specks under birds. East bay is holding lots of specks and a few redfish using live shrimp. The upper Galveston bay a few redfish and sheep heads holding around the rocks off of the channel. Water temperature is 77 degrees.

If you haven’t given fall bay fishing a try, you are missing out on a fun and fruitful time! Fishing around the oyster beds, breaks, and drop-offs for trout, redfish, or flounder, using MirrOlures, Gulp, or shrimp. For black drum and redfish, fish by the birds. Look for seagulls working and fish will follow. Lots of undersized trout and plenty of slot reds.

It been pretty much a red fish rodeo the last 2 weeks. High tides have pushed the red fish deep into the marsh. Live shrimp under a popping cork has bee been the best producer. However TopWater lures and paddle tail jigs have also taken there share of nice slot and upper slot fish.

The weather, wind direction, and high pressure have made trout fishing a little slow. The good news is that the temperature drop has kicked off the fall flounder migration and the bull redfish run. Should be on the same pattern for the month of October! Great time of the year to fish.

Redfish have been most productive on a falling tide. We're finding them coming out of the back marsh. When we're able to get out to the surf it has be lights out. Been using a mix of artificial and live bait.

    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.
