Mike Cacciotti with Captain Mike's Fish Service Deer Park, Texas Reported: 3 years ago

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.

Awesome weather has been the norm for the last few weeks. Light winds and cool temps have provided pleasant fishing conditions. The next couple of months should be excellent fishing on Galveston bay. Falling temps should trigger the shrimp to leave the marshes. This will provide good opportunities to catch...

Fished only for flounder Saturday. Found them laying up in shallow water at the mouth of bayous , drains and channels. The front this week should get them going even better. Its time to box Flounder before the 'Flounder Shutdown' Nov 1 - Dec 15.

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!
