OK guys I am not very familiar with the coast fishing so I am asking this from a "ROOKIE" point of view. Does anybody use the Kick'n Bass Saltwater Fish Attractant on their jigs? I was looking at different saltwater fishing reports and saw some OLD reports of people being successful with it. I was thinking with the high price of live bait that it would really work to help with the jigs for Flounder, Reds, and Spec's.

Made a road trip to the coast Saturday. Noticed a couple of fishing piers in Galveston that looked promising. Opted for the Galveston Fishing Pier (also known as the 91st Street Pier). Caught a number of fish including small Sharks and a Spanish Mackerel; appreciate the tips everyone! Especially the one on using #1 and/or 1/0 hooks. It did make a difference! Yesterday's Video. On the road this past weekend. Fished Galveston, Texas. Last year went to the Galveston Fishing Pier. This year went to the 61st Street Fishing Pier. Had a great time with nice weather and lots of action on Gafftop, Sand Trout, Whiting... and small Sharks. Met some great folks - other fishermen and the Pier Staff! Even saw part of a reality TV show being filmed! Video Clip. Did it again this year... Fished Galveston and had a fun time catching saltwater fish for a change of pace. Fished Galveston Fishing Pier and 61st Street Fishing Pier. No Bruisers but did get a Blacktip Shark - 27-1/4" in length! Video.

Knew the 61st Street Fishing Pier had a Pier Cam that was working but looks like it went offline some time ago. Just noticed that the Galveston Fishing Pier has a live stream... Livestream.

I love fishing the pier. Always something happening. Usually catch a mess of fish also. Thanks for the videos to bring back some fun memories.

Sorry to changing topic. But while all of you that frequent the area have any favorite seafood places to eat that might be local favorites. Don't need the bid name or fanciest place just great food. Will be down in a couple of weeks and always like to try new places.

I like Fish Tales which is on Seawall Blvd directly across the street from the Pleasure Pier. There is also a Bubba Gump restaurant at the Pleasure Pier entrance that's good. You can park in the parking lot behind Fish Tales free if you eat at either of these restaurants and ask the cashier to give you a validated receipt to cover your parking. Keep in mind that in the summer you'll probably have to wait for a table.
