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. Colors varied, depending upon water clarity and light conditions, with Rollover Moon getting the most bites for our anglers.

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.

As in previous weeks, the water clarity is normal. We are still finding good numbers of solid trout on the protected shorelines over shell pockets, in areas with better-looking water, as well as Redfish along the grass lines and over shell, and a few nice flounder busting bait up around grass lines and over shallow shell beds, with good current flow.

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 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.

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.

Water clarity was stirred up more than usual after the fronts we had this past week, but the fish did not seem to mind. We had quite a bit of North wind this week, but still fishing shell structure in 2 to 4 feet of water, and most of our springtime places produced consistent trout action.

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.
