Things were looking really nice for a while as the wind laid all of last week. The winds finally died down and the fishing exploded here in the Galveston Bay complex. There was no wrong place to fish! The jetties, the surf, the pass, and the deep reefs were all producing excellent catches of Trout. Then mother nature decided we needed a little more wind LOL. Tuesday we braved the wind and caught a few Trout but it was difficult. A few of my spot were blown out or just to hard to fish in the stiff south southwest wind. Wednesday the wind was not any better but we gave the jetties a run. I thought it was gonna be a tough day for catching but we did much better than I expected boxing a few Trout, 4 slot Reds, and a flounder. Free lined Shrimp was the bait of choice for the jetties.
Once this wind backs off again this fishing will be on fire once again. When wading with arties I will be back down on the lower end of Galvestons West Bay throwing topwaters at the San Luis Pass and working areas of shell pads in Chocolate Bay.
Staying in the boat I will continue throwing Shrimp and hitting areas around the Galveston jetties and Galvestons East Bay.
The next few days I will be mixing it up in both areas so hopefully there will be some good reports and pictures to follow.
