Weekly fishing report ending April 27 – Captain Jeff Brandon

Fishing has been extremely good over the past week, and the redfish bite was stellar and then on early Friday morning we had a front move through bringing with it strong winds and rain, which muddied up East Bay and made for tougher than normal conditions for our trips on Saturday. Winds were Northeast at 14 to 27mph, with Blue Bird Skies and an incoming morning tide. We fished artificial and live bait trips this week, with the bite becoming more consistent on our evening trip with the weather beginning to stabilize. We fished back in the marsh to find better looking water and found several good, speckled trout, flounder, redfish, and black drum. We had our best trips in the late afternoon, when we had lots of water and an outgoing tide, with winds switching to the East/Southeast at 12-19mph. We fished ¼ oz jig heads and the purple reign color seemed to trigger some great action for us with either a slow retrieve or bouncing off the bottom. For our live bait fishers, we utilized shrimp under a popping cork, and a 24” leader worked best. The Topwater Bite has been decent, but not on fire like last week. Most of our catching this week was on Flats in and close to drains, as well as flooded grass on the higher tides for redfish prowling for an easy meal. If you are looking to get out on the water and beat the crowds, now is the perfect time to make it happen, and as always, we will design a trip around your expectations, and guarantee you will have a great time fishing Galveston Bay.
