Surface water temperature 51 degrees. The water clarity is all over the board for East Galveston Bay, depending on where you are at in the bay system. This past week we had a cold front with Strong North Winds push through once again that dropped the water temperatures, as well as water levels in the bay system. On our morning trips we have fished falling tides, catching some solid fish and some oversize fish as well. The ticket the past few days has been fishing right on the bottom (super slow) over deeper shell/mud with various size jig heads with Salt & Pepper WACky shad XL tails by Wac Attack, securing the most bites. Please watch the Major/Minor Fish Times, as 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, so be very methodical in your presentation, and fish areas where you have confidence in. The redfish bite has been consistent around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to trigger bites, as well as weightless Deadly Dudley Rat Tails. 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.
