Weekly fishing report ending June 3, 2024
Surface water temperature 81 degrees in East Galveston Bay. As in previous weeks, the Water
clarity stirred up more than usual with all the freshwater entering the bay system from the
heavy rains up above us, as well as the storms that came across the bay last week. We are still
finding good numbers of trout on the Shorelines over shell pockets, where we have good tide
movement, as well as Redfish along the grass lines and over shell with the higher tides. If you
see bait flipping on the surface the fish are close by, if not, you are best to move on to another
spot, after making a few casts. The lighter the jig head the better (1/16 to 1/4), determined by
the wind and current, and tails without paddles, are still performing the best, as we were
utilizing Anahuac based, Wac Assassin's and top performing colors varied, depending upon
water clarity and light conditions, with Purple/Chartreuse being a favorite. Our clients are still
finding good success using Fish Smack Popping corks with a 1 to 2 foot leader above a shrimp
imitation lure, with a hard pop and a 5 to 10 second pause gathering the most strikes. This week
the most bites came on 1/8 oz shrimp imitation lures, fished under a popping cork. The
Topwater bite has also been good when utilized on our early morning and late afternoon trips,
so if you like throwing walking baits, now is the perfect time to get on the water and make it
happen. When the wind cooperates we are starting to see som fish show up on reefs in the
middle of the bay, which should get better as the temperatures rise.
