Water clarity is good for the majority of East Galveston Bay, especially on the South shoreline, with stained water East of Marsh point. This week we fished shell beds in the 2'-3’ depth range and found good numbers of Trout and a few reds and flounder. As in previous weeks, if you catch a fish, power pole down and fan cast the entire area, as we have been picking up several 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 various-sized jig heads, depending upon the win,d with Wac Attack straight tails in Rollover Moon, and Rat Tails by Deadly Dudley, as well as shrimp imitation lures under a 1’-2’ leader, and a Fish Smack Popping Cork. If you fish late afternoons, the Bulls are still chasing bait going down the South shoreline before sunrise and right before dark and will stretch your line if you are look ing to battle one for a while. This week, the early AM and late PM bites were both strong for us on our charters, and the Topwater bite was still very good. We did not see as much active bait this week as in previous weeks, but when we found bait, we caught fish.
If you are looking to get out on the water and beat the crowds, now is the perfect time to make it happen, since the Easter Holiday is behind us.
