Fishing is red hot the upper end of Galveston bay. Lots of trout on live shrimp along with some redfish. West bay is a little slow because of the windy days. Galveston jetties still holding some nice sheep heads and some bull reds on live shrimp. East bay is good...

Fishing is red hot the upper end of Galveston bay. Lots of trout on live shrimp along with some redfish. West bay is a little slow because of the windy days. Galveston jetties still holding some nice sheep heads and some bull reds on live shrimp. East bay is good for trout under birds. Over all the water is around 65 degrees. After this weekend the fishing should be great. Be safe have fun.
