I've had luck at Rollover Pass catching flounder with a fish finder rig dragging shrimp on the bottom. You could also try 91st pier which I've only been to a few times. I've caught whiting and a small dorado throwing cut mullet into the second gut. There are much more experienced fisherman on this forum who go to 91st often (i.e. Pferox and Back 2 Fishing) so read their posts and reports for the best info. Also, Pelican Island has a public fishing pier by Texas A&M-Galveston, havent had much luck there lately but you never know! I've seen a 43" bull red taken from below the bridge adjacent to the pier. Good luck!

-Nick Land adjacent to the bridge is all owned by A&M and off limits unless you are a student, faculty, staff or alumnus. SeaWolf Park at the end of the highway offers a fishing pier for $5 a day.

That's awesome. Where'd you park to access it? -Nick

We parked just before you get under the bridge. We caught them on large live shrimp.
