Not a bad week, it was windy but that's about all. Morning and afternoon bites are decent. Seeing lots of fish activity in west Galveston bay. Sharks and stingrays are back so be mindful of them. Fish are eating on live or dead shrimp and smaller paddle tails and jerk shad lures.

Weekly Report (2/13-2/21/26):

We are still catching good numbers of sheepshead & puppy drum on live shrimp & large black drum on cracked crab at Galveston Jetties. We are starting to see a few speckled trout and slot redfish. Best bite has been in the mornings on tidal changes.

Fishing has been fair to good on days in between fronts. Water is warming up, so fishing will only get better. Live shrimp are working in 4 to 5ft of water

    Trip: Galveston Trout And Redfish Roundup

    We had a productive day on the water with Captain Mike. He was patient with us bass fishermen and taught us some new techniques that really put us on a lot of good trout. Mike clearly knows the waters well and efficiently took us to a few different types of spots to try different methods for different fish. We’ll definitely connect with Captain Mike on our next Galveston trip.

    Had an absolute blast on this flounder trip. The captain was top-notch—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely fun to fish with. He put us on fish all day, shared solid tips, and kept the energy high without any of the usual pressure or rush. Everything from the boat setup to the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a solid flounder outing with a captain who actually knows what he’s doing and makes it a good time, book this one. Would go again in a heartbeat.

    We booked with Bob for our son’s birthday and the entire family had an AMAZING time! He was very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and in the words of my son “funny”. He ensure we had a great experience. We got some great catches and we will definitely rebook with Bob in the future for another fishing trip!
