Small hammerhead about 2' long. When I came by the 90th street pier there were only about 4 people on the pier that I could see. I think somebody was pulling your leg.

Talked to Cory today 3/27 at Galveston Fishing Pier . Whiting , gafttop , Bullreds and bonnethead sharks were being caught . Going to Pier tomorrow hope to see some of you there .

HEH, HEH.......Cory has you snuckered. Bob, I hope you do well although the wind is supposed to lay down for tomorrow.

Most of the fish were being caught early morning. I managed to do o.k. Tuesday. I was about midway down the pier on the west side. That area seems a more productive during the afternoon. The shallows were apparently good earlier in the day and, in the evening, but good luck getting a spot there!

Guy's I am sorry I will not make it on Friday . one of the men that work under me had a massive heart attack at work and died. I hope to make it next Thrusday .

Hey, bobtx, hope you didnt take my post wrong. I was stating that the report from Cory didnt match what I saw. I guess I'm too skeptical of reports coming from piers. If they tell you the fish aint biting then no one would go. If they tell you everyone is killing 'em then people have a tendency to go down there.

Gave the Galveston fishing pier a try today from 11 am to 6pm. The water was rough and the surf was actually big enough to surf on. I ended up with 4 whiting, two sting rays and a 4 pound gaff top. I also got a 2 foot bonnet head shark. No drum, sheepshead or reds while I was there, but two people caught 5 lb gafftop. There were hard heads everywhere! I went through two lbs of shrimp as the slimy fish followed me around the pier! Bobtx you didn't miss much maybe fishing will improve next week.

I also gave it a try at Galveston Pier Friday night/Saturday Morning. No luck at all. Only a few small Cats and 1 small hammerhead. I also tried SeaWolf Park Saturday night no luck there either. I did see a guy pull a nice keeper drum in the whole 8 hours I was there fishing. I wonder what happend this weekend? Any1 have any clues why they weren't bitting like everyone said they would be?

Too much wind !!!!!

Wed. 4/2 Galveston Fishing Pier . People are catching limits of Keeper Reds and keeper Drums . Aslo Spanish Macs, flounder and pompino are being caught. Gafttop tourney still in progress but not many big gafttop being caught yet. Not going to be able to fish again this week , short 3 men so I am working 12 hours a day 7 days a week .

Use cut crab the hardhead will leave you alone or should I say not as many.

The conditions are Looking Good.

What's going on there on the beach? Anybody?

The Chronicle said 79 degrees for water temp. Is that so?
Must be a Typo.

Any specks yet??

I heard from a source that the Macks and Gafftops are starting to show as well as those pesky "Shititas" (Hardheads).

Specks should be there soon.

Good luck to all!

The Bonnet head I caught last week turned out great, on the grill. No funny taste at all. I am going offshore Sunday, but want to give the Galveston fishing pier a try monday am.

Sat 5 th April Galveston Fishing Pier reports lots of keeper reds, keeper drums being caught. Aslo lots of whiting and gafttops. Bonnetheads and stingrays moving in close to shore. Some pompino's and spanish macs but no specks. Water is in very good shape and low winds should make excellant fishing along with good tidal movement. Hopefully I will have some help hired soon so I can go fishing .

ya bob get back out there. enjoy reading you guys reports. hope to get out that way in june

4/08/08 Galveston Fishing Pier . Ray reports keeper drums and keeper gaftops being caught along with a few keeper reds and whiting . The gafttop tourney leader weighs in at 7 lbs . First place will get $500.00 2Nd $300.00 3rd $200.00 4th $100.00 5th $50.00 . Plenty of time for everone to get down there and catch a 8-9 lb gafttop and claim one of those prizes . You are automatically entered when you buy am admission ticket. PS small whiting heads is a hot bait for large gafttops . I won tourney 2 twice with this bait .

All these good fishing reports from the pier is driving me insane. Want to go fishing up there so bad, but it will be a 5 hour drive up there. Weekend is not enough time to fish. I am taking a week vacation in June and going up there to fish the whole week.
Ya'll save me some fish now, you hear.

I hear the fishing has been bad for the last week!

Tuesday 15 Ray reported catches of specks , bull reds keeper reds , gafttop, sheepshead, spanish mac's , Jacks,and whiting all in the morning . The winds kicked up and fishing went poof . Suppose to be stong winds till Sat. So bring some rope and tie youself down .

I'm going to give the pier a try saturday morning. I went last friday and only managed gaff tops and hard heads. I fished dickinson bay today and it was windy! I did manage to get some decent croakers and whiting. I need some redfish!!

Friday the 19 th . after the thunderstorms blew out the weather got nice but the fishing was horrible . Water was like chocolate milk . Only got 2 drums and a few whiting and some gafttop .

I went to the Galveston fishing pier, on Saturday, at 3 am. I paid the full ticket price and was told at 6 am that I needed to purchase a new ticket or leave. I caught some gafftop and a couple of whitings, but it was a short trip. I think I will be fishing elsewhere for a while.

fished galveston fishing pier saturday night from 5 to bout 10 and only managed whiting and hard heads people around us were catching reds,drum,sheepshead, and other stuff all off dead shrimp we didnt have much luck BUT friday night we DESTROYED the gaftop at san luis pass from around 7 till 10 30 on the outgoing tide all were about 9 pounds all and all it was not a bad trip

SJ sorry about that next time tell them you want a pass that is good for next day and if any probs tell them MIKE or Schultz said you can have one after 3 am .

I fished the 61st street pier today, water was green and slightly sandy. I managed 10 decent sized whiting a several gafftops. I did manage to lose 2 sets of tackle. on all the old line on the pier pilings. One guy caught a huge cow nosed stingray. My grudge against the Galveston fishing pier only lasted 2 days. I thinking about Sat depending, on the weather.
