Surface water temperature 53 degrees. The water clarity is good for East Galveston Bay, with some of the clearest water in the back lakes we have seen in a good while. The common theme again this week, wind and a little more wind. On our morning trips we have fished falling tides, catching some solid fish and some oversize fish as well. The ticket the past few days has been fishing right on the bottom (super slow) over deeper shell/mud with various size jig heads with Chartreuse WACky Fluke tails by Wac Attack, securing the most bites. Some of the bites are so subtle you really need to be paying attention and remember hook sets are FREE. Please watch the Major/Minor Fish Times, as again this past week, that has been when the bite really turned on for us. Remember the Fish still have to eat, although not as often, so be very methodical in your presentation, and fish areas where you have confidence in. The redfish bite has been consistent around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to trigger bites, as well as weightless Deadly Dudley Rat Tails. This time of year brings some of the best opportunities for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, and bigger fish on the prowl, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends. The Corky bite also is in full swing, so if you like throwing artificials that is a great bait to throw, as well as walking topwater baits when the conditions are lining up.
