Galveston complex is getting ready to be red hot for fishing, Galveston jetties still holding lots of oversized redfish using cut bait on the bottom. West bay is starting to have some birds working over live shrimp, lots of sand trouts and a few specks under birds. East bay is holding lots of specks and a few redfish using live shrimp. The upper Galveston bay a few redfish and sheep heads holding around the rocks off of the channel. Water temperature is 77 degrees.

It been pretty much a red fish rodeo the last 2 weeks. High tides have pushed the red fish deep into the marsh. Live shrimp under a popping cork has bee been the best producer. However TopWater lures and paddle tail jigs have also taken there share of nice slot...

The weather, wind direction, and high pressure have made trout fishing a little slow. The good news is that the temperature drop has kicked off the fall flounder migration and the bull redfish run. Should be on the same pattern for the month of October! Great time of the year...

We enjoyed the fishing trip with Ralph. He tried really hard to get us to where the fish were biting.

First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

Mike was a super guide. He worked hard for us. Unfortunately we only got 2 keepers But, if it wasn't for Mike's eagle eye would not have gotten those. I'll definitely book with Mike again one day.

Hey folks, I wanted to give a review for my time fishing with Captain Chris in Galveston West Bay. Fishing overall was tough due to some wicked calm conditions during the October Super Moon. Capt. Chris went above and beyond to put us on fish. He is truly a gifted guide, who balances fishing conditions and personalities together, a rare find indeed.
