Fishing should really turn on good beginning this week with the spring breaks starting. Warmer weather patterns forecasted and higher tides will really improve East Bay conditions. As always, wading will be the best way to pick up quality speckled trout in early Spring. The shoreline and marsh areas east of Stingaree will start off better this time of year until the water warms into the 70’s. Whiting and black drum are really strong this season with whiting in the surf and reefs like Half Moon and Tom Tom. Bull Reds are thick at Texas City Dike and Burnett Bay is still producing some speckled trout. Get some shrimp and kids can have some fun action filled trips during spring breaks with drum, whiting, and sheepshead on most of the mid bay reefs like Little Hannas.

For those that have taken my class, don’t forget to follow up before your next trip for up to date fishing information on East Bay. As conditions warm up, there will be some changes and concentrations of the remaining fish.

I am making some needed website changes so my my websites will be down for a while. Just text or email.

I will not be running any saltwater charters for a while but plan to offer a few special reserved classes toward the first part of summer.

I have moved my boat to Lake Conroe and will be offering guided charters there starting this year after I get everything set up the way I want and become familiar with the specific fish patterns of the Lake. Lots of fun and action! I will also be offering limited on the water classes for Galveston East Bay starting early summer.

I will continue with updated report content from myself and several other contributors for East Bay and for other areas of the bay system.

I grew up fishing lakes all over Texas and have over 30 years experience fishing for bass, crappie, and catfish. I also was a bass/crappie fishing guide on East Texas Lakes before I made the move to the Texas coast. As I move toward a new chapter in my passion for fishing, I am bringing my lifelong freshwater experience along with years as a saltwater charter captain to bring you a memorable, safe and enjoyable fishing adventure in the beautiful waters of Lake Conroe. Stay tuned for my grand opening and charter specials which will begin soon!

On the water class/seminars are one of the best investments you will make to further your success and knowledge of Galveston East Bay.

Classes will be offered again on a limited first come basis starting early summer.

For an extra added value now we are offering classes run from the client’s boat where we download data into your GPS as we run the class throughout East Bay. Coordinates downloads on sd or mini sd chip included!
