We have had less than ideal weather for fishing charters the last few days. The stronger fronts which usually start this time of year are here and leave water levels very low and drop the water temps very fast into the 50’s. Shrimp are scarce in the bay and trout start keying on larger mullet. Using mullet imitations or larger baits like Gulps and really slowing down the presentation is what will work best when they bite. Think deeper water and also shallower water with mud flats close to deep water for waders on sunny afternoons. Flounder will be active on the intracoastal canal and ship channel on higher tides. When we get a few warm days in a row, decent fishing will kick off again. We usually get a couple of good weeks before the end of December.

For that special hard to buy for angler in your family, I will offer a limited amount of gift certificates for Galveston East Bay Class/ Seminars. Email for more information and how to buy these.

For those who have taken my class, the late fall pattern was working with water temps lower in the 60’s. However, conditions now will be dependent on water temp and tide levels. Contact me for your included support before your next trip especially as it looks like we have post frontal conditions and low tides to work around every week.

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 December that we can catch between fronts for prime times for class opportunities.

Everything is shaping up good in Galveston East Bay for an outstanding Fall fishing season now! We still have some December 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.
