Fishing has been slow for us, due to the weather and low tides. Making the water dirty and tough fishing.

Fishing for reds drum and sheep head have been fantastic. The last couple of weeks the trout are just now moving in and the trout bite is picking up. Bay waters are warming up surf is turning green. It's time to go fishing.

Fishing is red hot in Galveston bay. Catching specks, redfish, flounders, drums and sheepheads. The water temperature is 68 degrees. Use live shrimp over shell and rock. With a full moon it's an early bite. Now the time to go while the kids out of school for spring break. Thanks...

Last few trips have been mostly catch and release trips. Did not take a lot of pictures. Most days we are finding a good bite using artificial lures from the boat. Some days it takes time for the bite to materialize. Recent weather patterns are indicating an early spring. Water temperature have already reached mid 70 degrees. The shad spawn has already begun. So we will be using smaller baits to get our bites for the next 30days or so. Popping cork and shrimp will also become an effective method for catching fish.
