Gigging has been good with limits of flounder and with some good sheepshead, blue crab, stone crab claws and gar kickers. Water has been really clear in Galveston and matagorda area with the low winds in between tides.

Fishing is hot in trinity bay. Red, trout, & drum by the hundreds. Mostly small with keepers blended in. Bigger reds are showing up for the fall run. Bait of choice fresh dead shrimp on popping cork.

Fishing in Galveston bay has been good. Lots of trout being caught in the deeper water over shell and near the many gas wells. Best bite is on live shrimp. Fish are also on shallow reefs in Trinity bay. A mix of black drum, speckled trout and the occasional slot redfish. Bull reds are beginning to school in the open water. Water clarity is good.

Wading and fishing out of the boat have both been good in east matagorda bay, the flats, back lakes, and reefs are covered in redfish and flounder. Been using mostly lure such as topwater, downsouths, and gulp. Live shrimp and cut bait have been productive as well.

West Galveston bay and east Galveston bay have been producing well. Low winds have made catching easy, and has allowed for access to many new areas and fish.

    A+. I gave Ralph five 16-year-old boys of varying fishing experience, and he handled them. We will use him again!

    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.
