Jetty fishing is good only by boat. Unless you want to walk waaaayyyyy out there.

Jetty fishing is good only by boat. Unless you want to walk waaaayyyyy out there. it's 2 miles from land to cut on granite boulders if u plan to walk. trust me on this.............. don't do it!!!! been there and done that in the middle of august years back carrying a 150 qt. ice chest, lawn chairs, 8 rods, and tackle boxes(between 5 of us). probably the STUPIDEST thing we have EVER done. seriously though, thought we were gonna die!!! however, it's still something we'll never forget....

Do you have to hop from boulder to boulder, or is there a sidewalk?

So there are 2 jetties in Galveston, a NORTH and a SOUTH jetty?
I though there was only one jetty which is at the end of seawall off street called Boddecker Dr.
This is so confusing,

Just a quick question. I asked this question on 2cool. If i was take my kayak and paddle out to the end of the north jetty to make the trip quicker. Get off the yak, tie it up down current side to keep it off the rocks. FIsh the day and then load upa nd hpaddle back. Has anyone ever tried this before. Thinking of getting past the boat cut. Spending the day in June out there. On a flat day with good weather. Feasible? Too risky? Any one wanna join? Would fish for the usual. Send out a coupld of long rods.

[quote=striker]alright, the jetty up top is the north jetty, on bottom is the south jetty. the s. jetty used have a lighthouse on it but was destroyed in a 2001 hurricane. does this help?
Thank you "STRIKER" for clearing this up.
Do you know the exact street to turn into the residential area to get to the North Jetty? I like your map

once u go over to boliver via the ferry, take a right on 17th street off of hwy 87 (which is the hwy yer automatically on once u drive off the ferry). it will be a couple miles (maybe) and u will take a right on 17th street. there might even be a sign for the "north jetty bait and tackle shop" but i'm not sure. either way, turn onto 17th street and you'll make it there.  give a report if u go!

But you have a yak we could shark fish of high Island.
