Surface water temperature 58 degrees. The water clarity is good now for East Galveston Bay. This past week we had less than ideal weather and strong winds on most days and fished low outgoing tides. The trout bite has remained steady, catching good numbers and some oversize fish as well on our artificial only trips. The ticket the past few days has been fishing right on the bottom (very slowly) over deeper shell with 1/4 oz jig heads with WACky shad XL tails by Wac Attack, in lighter colors, securing the most bites.
The redfish bite has been on fire around grass lines and in the shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to secure the most bites. As in previous weeks, if you don’t see active bait in the area you are targeting, move on rather quickly. Don’t let the less than ideal weather keep you off the water, as this time of year brings some of the best fishing conditions for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends.
