We have finally gotten rid of the worst of the fresh water in Galveston East Bay and fishing has really turned on this week. I am just hoping that the tropical moisture forecasted for this week is not excessive to where it sets us back more. For those that have taken my class, we are in a “mid summer pattern” in the bay. Trout are good on most of the mid bay reefs drifting slicks with Down South plastics. There are some solid keepers mixed with lots of smaller fish. The best bite has been early, late and around tide movements in early afternoons. No one sponsors or gives me lures, Down South are just better for now.

The Galveston jetties continue to be hot right now for most species. We have by no means recovered to the level of fishery that we had a few years ago but the health of the bay is really looking promising.

Larger fish are filtering back in to East Bay from the jetties and beachfront so hopefully we won’t have another fresh water flush out any time soon.

Fall fishing looks to be setting up for outstanding fishing trips! September will be here before we know it and some of the prime times for fall fishing are starting then. Fall dates have started filling already so it’s not too early to reserve and lock in your time for a fishing trip. I will also accept a limited number of weekend charters beginning mid September.

I have some weekdays still open in August and also some opportunities for classes. 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.
