Slow but bringing a few fish over the rail! A few reds, gulf trout, sheepshead and pup drum in the bay and Galveston Jetty-Channel area on live shrimp. And a few flounder still hanging around

Reported: 3 months ago

Galveston Jetties continue to produce a good mix of sheepshead, pup drum, along with an occasional redfish on live shrimp. Best bite has been around tidal changes on calmer days. Tide levels continue to fluctuate drastically around frontal passages. Action should remain steady through March.

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.

Trip: Half Day Galveston Inshore Trip
★★★★★
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!
