Colors varied, depending upon water clarity and light conditions, with Glacier Freeze triggering the most bites for our anglers. Our clients are still finding good success using Fish Smack Popping corks with a 1-to-2-foot leader above a shrimp imitation lure, or Tails with a 1/8 oz jig head, with a hard pop and a 3-second pause, gathering the most strikes.

We are locating more trout beds, in the intracoastal, relating to structure, as well as a few fish over shell on the South Shoreline on tails with 1/8 oz heads, with darker colors performing the best in the areas with stained water. We are once again burning a good deal of fuel and time taking the ride over to the Jetties to find better-looking water and a solid trout bite on artificials.

The water clarity is still stirred up in the majority of East Galveston Bay, with clearer / saltier water as you get closer to the western portion of the Bay. We are finding a few trout, reds, and black drum, in the intracoastal around structure, as well as a few fish over structure on the South Shoreline on tails with 1/8 oz heads, with lighter colors performing the best.

This past week we have burned a good deal of gas and time taking the 40-minute ride over to the Jettys to finding a solid am trout bite. We are utilizing Mirror Lure suspending hard baits, Swim Baits, and Tails with 1/8 oz heads in light colors.

Surface water temperature is 86.2 degrees in East Galveston Bay. We are still weeding through a number of undersized Trout to find the better fish, as in previous weeks, but our last few trips have resulted in some solid upper slot females.
