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.

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 has reached 85 degrees in East Galveston Bay, creating ideal conditions for catching Specks around protected shorelines, over scattered shell, as well as Redfish along grasslines. 1/8 oz jig heads and light color paddle-tailed lures are proving highly effective on our trips.

The water clarity is very good for East Galveston Bay, with average clarity throughout the bay system. The redfish bite was excellent again for us this week, around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh.
