i heard mosquito island was good and that there are all kinds of fish there...is there anywhere to camp around there because i will be staying saturday to sunday fishing

any helpful info would be appreciated

Rollover Pass, Some norton sand eels,and just go enjoy your trip out.Have Fun

wheres mosquito island ?

It is on the left hand side of the Texas City Dike.

how can you get to it ?

any good spots on galveston

also i am pretty sure that you have to wade out to mosquito island.

Absolutly at Roll Over Pass. The right place for wading and camping out at night. Totally agree with Larry!!! Good luck fishin and be safe.

any info on where that is or anything like that???

I'm thinking about hitting the dike saturday morning as well....anyone got any tide reports...

Rollover Pass is just east of Port Bolivar. Never fished there, but have driven past it several times.

Just type Rollover Fishing Pass. TxHook'em and I sound like a advertiser for Rollover.It just a safe easy place to go. AND I THINK WE SHOULD ALL GO FRIDAY.

The last time I went to Rollover(only time ever, I might add), the water was coming in QUICK. Any lures/baits thrown out towards the middle would get dragged towards the bay in a matter of seconds, AND collect a couple pounds of grass.

There were a couple of "regulars" there who did ok with flounder. They were using live bait of some sort fished on the bottom, with their clicks turned on. Maybe some spots along that pass are better than others.

Fast current, a crowd on the weekend, lots of grass that day, and not the best experience at one of the bait shops there (which shall remain nameless).. I ended up spending the rest of the day surf fishing near there.

What bait stand Sherwood? Last time I passed through there, I stopped for a while to check it out. There were lots of people fishing along the wall on both sides. From what I noticed, I think I could cast all the way across, and then some. I personally like to fish areas where limited space is not a factor. I like to have room, and not have to worry about someone crossing my line. I dont mind fishing in public places, just as long as I can have my space. I am heading down this weekend, but not sure where I will be fishing. I will post a report if I do any good.
