Reported 1 week ago
Inks Lake is at a normal level with stained water and temperatures around 79°. The fishing has been excellent lately, with some of the best action coming from schools of quality bass feeding heavily on large gizzard shad around offshore rock.

Big topwater baits and large swimbaits have been producing well when targeting these feeding schools. Finding areas holding good concentrations of gizzard shad has been the key to locating active bass, and once the right group of fish is found, anglers have opportunities to catch multiple quality fish from a relatively small area.

LAKE BELTON - Surface temperature 86.6F. Elevation 1.5 feet low and falling. White bass fishing is consistent during the first and last hour of light. If fish appear on the surface, use Cork Rigs with Sandy Sandwich Streamers imitating young-of-the-year shad. When fish do not appear on the surface, work MAL Bridge lures vertically or horizontally as indicated by sonar up to three hours past sunrise or up to 90 minutes prior to sunset. Downrigging with #12 or #13 Pet Spoons will help cover ground to help you zero in on places where these other tactics may be used. Hybrid...

Downrigging with #12 or #13 Pet Spoons will help cover ground to help you zero in on places where these other tactics may be used. Hybrid are consistent on shrimp fished near bottom under greenlights from an anchored position under cover of darkness in the 30-foot range. Blue and channel catfish may be chummed to areas in the 20-30 foot range with cattle cubes and/or soured grain and fished successfully with Whisker Seeker Tackle cheese punchbait on #6 treble hooks. Sunfish are abundant in longer, shallower coves with wood, rock, and vegetative cover. Use worm on #14 long-shank hooks under sensitive slipfloats to catch bluegills, longears, redears, and green sunfish. Sunfishing is very kid-friendly right now.

STILLHOUSE HOLLOW RESERVOIR - Surface temperature 86.6F. Elevation 1.04 feet low and falling. White bass fishing is most consistent in the three hours following sunrise. Work MAL Bridge lures vertically using a "smoking" tactic with spinning gear allowing bait to fall all the way to bottom, removing slack, then cranking the lure at a moderate cadence

Red snapper, black grouper and Cobia have been great on cut bait,live bait, jigging rigs and 6" plastics.
Kingfish are hitting trolling lures. The water temperature continues to stay warm and the blue water is nearer to the shoreline this time of year.

Early morning fishing has been on fire a mix of everything speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and a few snook on artificials. Live shrimp has been scarce when available large numbers of black drum being caught on the icw. Looks like some good fishing the first week of October light North winds predicted should be a great week.

    Anthony was great company and he knew just where to take us so we could have a good trip! Even got to see dolphins and catch a shark which was unique for us… I recommend Anthony and I will 100% book with him again next time we make it out to Galveston!

    Trip: 4 Hour Trip - Bay & Jetty

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Ronnie was great! Although we didn’t catch our limits we did catch some red. I caught a gar, and my wife took home the pride of catching the most and the biggest. All in all, I would for sure recommend Captain Ronnie, he was personable, kind and wanted us to catch fish so he stayed out a little longer than he had to for us to catch. We did, and I’m grateful because this was a birthday gift for my wife. She had a great time. I didn’t have any pictures of her with her catches. The sunrise was what dreams are made of. The picture doesn’t do it justice…it was beautiful!

    Took my 14 year old son fishing with Grant and I was so impressed with his knowledge and hunger for perfecting his craft. My son has followed Grant’s videos for a while, so he was on cloud nine with him! Grant was so kind and patient with my son. We both learned a lot and caught some big ones! Highly recommend Grant, it was a true privilege to fish with him. Lake Austin is beautiful by the way.

    What a great day on the water! Mark was an excellent guide and used his knowledge of the bays to fill the ice chest with 10 keeper reds for our group. My son caught his first limit of redfish and I was blessed to be by his side. Mark was alot of fun to hang out with and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to catch fish, laugh, and enjoy a beautiful morning. Thanks Mark! Best birthday ever!
