This week's report: Surface water temperature 54 degrees. The water clarity is average now for East Galveston Bay. This past week we had fronts push through once again that dropped the water temperatures, as well as water levels in the bay system. On our morning trips we have fished falling tides, and the trout bite has continued to get better, catching good numbers and some oversize fish as well. The ticket the past few days has been fishing right on the bottom over deeper shell with 1/4 oz jig heads with Salt & Pepper WACky shad XL tails by Wac Attack, securing the most bites. The redfish bite has been on fire around grass lines and in the shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to secure the most bites. As in previous weeks, if you don't see active bait in the area you are targeting, move on rather quickly. This time of year brings some of the best fishing conditions for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends.
