Galveston Fishing Report


Reports from the weekend indicated spotty action, with some anglers hitting windows of good action and others taking home sparse catches.

The jetties produced scattered catches of trout, reds and other fish. One group that hit the right spot at the right time was the Ciaccio Party consisting of Ron, Rhonda and Don.They boated 30 trout to 25 inches with several going more than 20 inches.


A 31-inch red was caught and released with all of the action coming within one-and-a-half hours.
Another productive jetty trip came from Capt. Russell Keillor who hosted Roy Glasgow, Zach Vercher, Preston Wallace and Eric Osbourne. Their catch included bull reds and sharpnose sharks.
Wray Widner of Sea Isle took his 6-year-old daughter Iola offshore Sunday and found action at the Aztec Rig just out of San Luis Pass where Iola caught her first shark.

Terry Hornburg and Sandra Leet fished offshore Sunday and returned with limits of red snapper, kings and small Dorado. The kings and Dorado were caught along a large weak patch and the snapper were taken from a working platform 35 miles east of the jetties. Hornburg reported the water choppy and the trip back uncomfortable.

John King fished off Teichman Point about an hour before daybreak Monday and landed three specks, a slot red and a bunch of lady fish.Live shrimp fished under a popping cork did the trick.
Capt. Matt Smith hosted a group of 100 aboard the party boat New Buccaneer Sunday and took them 60 miles offshore.The 12-hour trip resulted in 200 red snapper, 56 vermilions, two kings, seven Almaco jacks, five blue runner, four ling, two porgies, a scamp and a Warsaw grouper.
