From Easter weekend through this week we are going to have elevated winds which will turn from the north and really slow down fishing for a few days. I have some classes scheduled for the weekend and will be anxious to get back out. I really don’t think it will impact the fishing much as it will warm back up quickly. It will just extend successful days for those who have been producing good catches while wading shallow shorelines. Trinity Bay is fresh and probably will remain that way for a while but East Bay had good salinity levels and was full of bait last week.

While scouting various reefs, I caught keeper size trout in most mid bay areas and also got into several groups of big redfish which were all released. Everything I caught was on soft plastics. It really looks to be shaping up for outstanding late spring fishing!

Delino’s Bolivar Yacht Basin Bait camp will have bait when it’s available. He said that they will try to be open most days if more people will come by for bait, gas and ice. Right now they are offering service where they bring your items outside of the marina building to you.

I have some weekdays still open in late April and through May. Also, some weekend days are open for classes in May and June. Classes are the Best time you will ever invest in to improve your fishing success for the long haul! I have added some special features this year!

This time of year we can run trips where the whole family can be successful with a large variety of fish. Email for questions and availability. Now is the time to book an East Bay Class with the prime fishing just around the corner.

For exact fishing locations and techniques, I am conducting one-on-one classes of the Galveston East Bay System. We will spend a half-day trip exploring that bay and the techniques and timing of fishing there. Bring your hand-held GPS and a map and note pad and I will further your knowledge of the bay and patterns for fishing in all of the seasons of the year. These classes include everything from locations to tackle and lure selection; thus have a lot of content. So, I limit them to 2 persons max at a time. Call 409-256-1265 for more information. We cover a lot of area and burn a lot of gas.

Text or call 409-256-1265 for availability of trips and to reserve your fishing adventure.You can also e-mail me [email protected] for updated fishing conditions and trip availability.
