Surface water temperature 85 degrees. Water clarity is about average for East Galveston Bay. We have spent some of our fishing time on shorelines in the intracoastal finding trout, reds, black drum and flounder, around structure and close to drains and points with good tide movement. We have also found good numbers of trout (but weeding thru quite a few small ones again this week to find the better size fish) on reefs, as well as over shoreline shell and structure close to deeper drops. If you like fishing under birds, that has begun to pick up substantially over the past couple weeks. Reds and Flounder are still being caught up around shorelines where we have good current pushing bait, especially when we have good tide movement and bait in the area.
We are still finding excellent success with Imitation shrimp lures under popping corks, with a 1-to-2-foot leader, as well as 1/8 oz jig heads with tails by WacAttack & Deadly Dudley, with lighter colors working better for us again this week. The topwater bite was good when the conditions were right on a few of our early am trips this past week, with chrome/black or bone performing equally well.
The crowds are much thinner now that Labor Day has passed, and hunting season has ventured upon us so fishing should continue to be strong, with less fishing pressure and a cool front on the way this week, so grab your friends and family and get out on the water and make some memories together.
