Surface water temperature 72 degrees. Water clarity very good for the majority of East Galveston Bay. This week we once again fished shoreline shell in close vicinity to drains in the 3’ depth range and found good numbers of Trout and reds, and a few flounder.
If you catch a fish, powerpole down and fan cast the entire area, as we have been picking up 3 to 5 fish in close proximity. If you get into an area and do not see bait activity, make a few casts, and move on, as our experience has been, if you find good amounts of bait the fish are close by. This week we have thrown ¼ oz jig heads with Wac Attack straight tails in chartreuse, as well as marker 54 Glide Shrimp, under a 1’ - 2’ leader and a Fish Smack Popping Cork. The popping cork/shrimp setup was the top performer for us this week resulting in some of the most aggressive bites of the year. Spring is finally here, and fishing will continue to heat up as the water warms and the fronts blowing through become less prevalent.
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 East Galveston Bay.
