Surface water temperature 58 degrees. The water clarity is good now
for East Galveston Bay. This past week we had less than ideal weather and strong winds on
most days and fished low outgoing tides. The trout bite has remained steady, catching good
numbers and some oversize fish as well on our artificial only trips. The ticket the past few
days has been fishing right on the bottom (very slowly) over deeper shell with 1/4 oz jig
heads with WACky shad XL tails by Wac Attack, in lighter colors, 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. Don’t let the less-than-ideal weather keep
you off the water, as 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.
