With strong persistent west winds we canceled and took off last week. We will return to running trips weather permitting this week and have a new report with updates next week.

July 14 Report
As I expected, we started last week with west and southwest winds over caution criteria which means East Bay was mostly rough and muddy. The winds eased down by the end of the week and we were able to put together good boxes of keepers although we had to cull numerous throwbacks. East bay was recovering steadily and the water towards the north shoreline has good salinity but the sustained west winds and low tides have done their damage and left the bay very dirty. For those that have taken my class, take advantage of your support now before planning your next trip as fishing could be challenging the next several days with west winds and slack tides persisting.

When live bait is available, live shrimp have been working in west bay. Also surf fishing should remain excellent in calmer areas early mornings. As before, even if any marinas or bait camps are not operating, we will keep a regular schedule going and only influenced by weather conditions.

I have some weekdays still open in August, September and also some opportunities for classes. Fall is booking up now with a few prime days still available. 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.
