Galveston,Marginal fishing in coming days


The next few days appear to be marginal for fishing, as hot, windy conditions return for a while. Later this week wind velocities should taper off and allow the water to return to a fishable shape.
During this time, fishing might be slow; however, anglers who know where to fish during spells of weather like this likely will be bringing home some fish.


Barbara Garibaldi, Louis’ Bait Camp, reported some good action in the Diversionary Canal and from Jones Lake. Customers Chance and Josh brought back some nice trout from their trip to the Diversionary Canal. Live shrimp was the bait.

Fishing near the railroad tracks in Jones Lake, Joe Nicks and his son Joe III landed reds and flounder using live shrimp for bait. Another patron of the bait camp, Sean and his son Ryder landed reds using live shrimp. Garibaldi said the bait camp has good supplies of live bait.

Last Saturday, while dodging a few storms on the bay. Jonathan Peru, his wife Clair and sons Jeromy and Cameron battled the weather to land speckled trout, slot reds, sheepshead and gafftop. Live shrimp under corks and free-lined did the trick.

Sunday, Capt. Matt Smith hosted 93 anglers to a 30-mile offshore trip aboard the party boat New Buccaneer.

Their catch included 33 gray snapper, 14 lane snapper, 15 spadefish, nine sharks, nine tomate, four kings and a variety of other fish including grouper, porgy and Gulf trout.

Galveston Party Boats’ bay and jetty trips have been producing mostly sand trout, shark and reds.
Richard Belleau reported gafftop, croaker, slot reds, black drum and specks being caught by customers of the 61st Street Fishing Pier with winds gusting from the south at 15 mph.
