are they letting people onto galveston that dont live there now??? and is it even worth it to fish from the surf there? what about port arthur or port lavaca? im in northwest houston and leave on the 12th and would really like to get some fishin in before i gotta go....so if these places are no good please inform me...thank you

Port Arthur is good fishing now, finger mullet or gulp alive new penny 3" shrimp are killing reds,flounder, and most of the trout are caught ealry in the morning on topwater/sub-surface mirrolures.

where abouts in port arthur should i go??? and what kind of rig should i use on that gulp shrimp bait...never used it before...

Just a jig head is fine, you need to head over the MArtin Luther king bridge over to PLeasure Island and take a right at the stop sign, then go all the way daown (Watch for boats in road) pass through one stop sign and then on the second one take a left and stop at the first pipe (thats as far as you can go after Ike) and just cast and jig it off the bottom.

I went to Surfside jettie last Saturday morning. Got there right at sun rise. Caught nice Specks and reds a spanish mack and a 30" pompano. on Live shrimp under a cork.

yeah i think i might hit up surfside thursday or friday...thanks for all the info everyone
