Fishing being good to me, trying avoid the rain and wind last week. Found some fish when the wind slowed down. It's been an early morning bite.

The fishing has been good. Catching lots of nice trout on finger mullet in the bays. Early morning top water bite has been excellent for big redfish and trout. Flounder gigging trips have also had good success.

Fishing on west Galveston bay continues to be on fire. Croaker and live shrimp continue to produce good boxes of fish. Some days we concentrate on red fish, other days we concentrate on trout then we finish out the day working on red fish.

Fishing has been excellent the last few weeks on Galveston bay. Lots of trout and redfish up shallow on sandbars in clean water has been the ticket for wading following the schools of mullet. Trout and bull reds have been thick in the surf when the wind allows. Mid bay reefs have also produced a solid trout bite in 4-6' of water

Fishing been good on live croaker working oyster reefs anywhere in the bay system. East, West, lower and trinity are all producing speckled trout on croaker. Just key in on moving tides for best results.

Last couple weeks I've been chasing billfish on the A-Team (55' Viking). Fishing has been pretty good at the edge of the shelf. 2 more tournaments to go and then it's tarpon time thru October.

Reported 3 years ago
Although my traditional fishing areas for this time of year aren't producing very well, I have found some other areas that are producing . Some customers are wanting to only catch redfish and I have been fortunate to locate some . Some customers have been wanting speckled trout. And some days they cooperate and we are able to get our limit early before it gets too hot. And some days we have to work for them. Speckled trout have been best on live croaker. And the redfish have been consistent on popping cork and shrimp.

Had my Oilmans group take 1st in the red fish division with a 8.4 pounds and 1st in the triple tail with 24.5 pounder
My other groups have been catching steady on shrimp under a popping cork. But the big bites have been coming from wading throwing top waters in the morning and moving out to deeper water in the afternoons

    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.
