The Southwest winds is hurting the fishing. It's keep the tide to low. We still managed to catch a few trout and redfish using live shrimp or croakers fishing on the bottom near deep water. The Galveston jetties still got a lot of small sharks on cut bait. The best place to fish is Ali the Houston Ship Channel. The water temperature is 87 degrees. The heat index is around 110 degrees. So be very careful drink a lot of water. Fish early or late. Maybe try night fishing. Captain Mike

Triple Tail are normally pretty rare to find in Galveston Bay. However, after setting apart a day to chase the elusive fish we managed to find a giant! The fish tipped the scales at 25lbs. It was by far the biggest one I have ever seen. Congrats to my customer...

Trout is what's for dinner. These boys put a whopping on a nice limit and drank just as manny beers.

Got to fish a fun tournament with some of my good clients. Thankfully the weather cooperated and we were able to sweep the board winning biggest trout, flounder and redfish. The fishing is still hot!

Big trout and even bigger smiles. The bite was early and on fire. We were able to haul in a four person limit of trout in less than an hour. My group had a blast on the water and took home some delicious fish.

We had a windy day and even so, Capt. Mike knew where to go. We limited out on Trout very quickly. While we only got to keep 1 Red we did catch several. We will go with Capt, Mike again in the future. I would rate this experience from 1 to 10 as a 15.

It was a windy day but Jonathan took us right to a honey-hole out of the wind. The rods and reels were ready to go and easy to use. We caught fish all day long and came home with a nice haul which Jonathan cleaned and bagged for us. He even directed us to a local restaurant that cooked up a few of our fresh filets for dinner. It was a great day from beginning to end!
