Fishing Report Galveston 7/16/13


Our weather pattern has changed and the fish like it. Based on reports from the beach front, lots of action is taking place and the prospects are good for even better fishing.
The Galveston Fishing Pier reported catches of big stingrays, sharks, croaker, whiting, sand trout, flounder, ladyfish, spadefish and specks.


Farther east along the seawall, the 61st Street Fishing Pier reported catches of croaker, whiting and large sharks to over 6 feet.

Offshore action continues to be hot and heavy, as we are in prime time for Gulf fishing. Galveston Party Boats reported a productive trip Sunday when Capt. Matt Smith took 100 anglers 30 miles offshore where they caught 48 lane snapper, 11 gray snapper (mangroves), six blue runner, six blue fish, 12 spade fish, 17 tomtate, a barracuda, sand trout, rockhind and an 85-pound stingray.
