Fall is finally here in East Bay now with the first major frontal passage. Water temperature dropped 10 degrees real fast and we had the first low water advisory of the season. Even though this kept us off the water for a few trips and set back fishing conditions for the short term, we needed this to kick start some fall action through December. With the low tides, the bait had moved west to deeper waters but as of Saturday afternoon, bait was moving back in further east with a few scattered groups of birds working. Right now mid bay reefs and mouths of marsh drains are going to be the best bet with some higher tide movements. I still have some weekdays open which still look to be the best weather days ahead on long range forecasts.

Even though the flounder bite has not been great this year yet…about like everything else….the limits are reduced November 1st through December 14th to 2 flounder with a minimum of 15 inches. Possession equals daily bag. Be careful out there!

For those that have taken my class, the mid fall pattern is working with just a few changes starting right as we covered in the class. Late fall will be good also as there has already been sporadic activity in the patterns we covered. Contact me for your included support before your next trip especially as we have post frontal conditions and low tides to work around.

On the Water Classes/ Seminars 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! I have some days still open in November and December that we can catch between fronts for prime times for class opportunities.

Fall is booking up now with prime November and December days still available for some of the best fishing of the year.

Everything is shaping up good in Galveston East Bay for an outstanding Fall fishing season now! We still have some November days that we can still run some on the water classes.

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.
