Fishing is starting to heat up with the incoming cold front. The last couple of weeks fishing was good for trout and redfish using live shrimp. The upper Galveston bay is holding lots of specks and redfish using live bait fishing over shell. Now is the time to book a trip for some great fishing. The Galveston jetties still holding some nice sheep heads and some redfish. The beach fishing is good for pan fish. Overall fishing is great.
