After the Arctic Blast this past week, we had quite a drop in Surface Water temperatures, however by Saturday Temperatures were back up to 48 degrees. The water clarity is still good for East Galveston Bay considering all the North Winds we have encountered. The low tides have forced us to adjust our target areas, as well as forced us to pull our boat out of the slip, and use a public ramp for our trips, so we can get out on the water and fish. We have had success on 1/4 oz Jig Heads with Wac Attack Flukes in lighter colors, as well as Deadly Dudley Rat Tails in Blue Moon. The popping cork / artificial bite has also performed well, allowing our anglers to do some solid trout catching. With this setup we used a number of colors, including shrimp imitation lures, and all did well when we located the fish. 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 in the temperatures, so be very methodical in your presentation, and fish areas you have the most confidence in. The redfish bite has been on around deeper drains and get stacked up if you find the right areas. Remember, 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.
