As in previous weeks, the water clarity is normal. We are still finding good number of trout on the protected Shorelines over shell pockets, and are having to weed thru a large number of small fish to find the solid females, as well as Redfish along the grass lines and over shell with the higher tides, and a few nice flounder busting bait up around grass lines with good current flow.

The water clarity is average for East Galveston Bay, with better clarity west of Yates. The redfish bite was excellent for us this week, around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh.

This week, once again the story has been wind, wind, and a little more wind. The water clarity is about average for East Galveston Bay west of the Stingaree and clarity declines the further east you venture past Big Pasture Bayou. The majority of our success this week has been back in the marsh and back lake areas as we searched for some protection from the strong winds.

Get ready for a weekend of coastal charm, mouthwatering seafood, and lively entertainment at the 2025 Texas Crab Festival, celebrating its 40th anniversary from May 9–11 at Swedes Park in Crystal Beach, Texas . This beloved Mother's Day weekend tradition offers a vibrant mix of Gulf Coast culture, live music, and family-friendly activities.

The past few days, we have once again fished where we can find some protection from the wind, as well as find some water that is not totally blown out. We have thrown ¼ oz jig heads with Wac Attack straight tails in Rollover Moon, Deadly Dudley Rat Tails, Walking Top Waters, as well as imitation Shrimp lures, under a 1’-2’ leader with a Fish Smack Popping Cork.

Water clarity is good for the majority of East Galveston Bay, especially on the South shoreline, with stained water East of Yates Bayou. This week we fished shell beds in the 2'- 3’ depth range and found good numbers of Trout and a few reds and flounder.
