Fishing Report Galveston








The Labor Day Weekend turned out to be fair for fishing with the best reports coming from anglers fishing offshore.

The action in the bays and along the beach front was mainly very early with some nice catches of trout taking place near daybreak.

The Labor Day Weekend turned out to be fair for fishing with the best reports coming from anglers fishing offshore. Pat McNally was one of the anglers in the water before daybreak Monday and immediately started catching speckled trout with live shrimp fished under a popping cork. The action took place in the surf between Crystal Beach and Gilchrist from 6 a.m. until close to 7 a.m. McNally ended up with a stringer of eight trout to 19 inches in length.

Mark Breaux and his wife, Laura, fished the wall at the Galveston Yacht Basin early Sunday and landed 10 mangroves, four small jackfish, two large hardheads, a black drum and a dog fish.

Cooter at North Jetty Bait Camp reported rock walkers taking flounder, golden croaker, sand trout, some reds and lots of crabs. Live mullet and dead shrimp were the baits of choice.

Capt. Paul Stanton, Aqua Safari Charters, reported a big catch on the Sea Trek. Fishing the jetties, Capt. Mike Malloy found a spot where his guest Dr. Kevin Smith landed a 7-foot spinner shark.

Dean Silvers and Rolan Gutierez fished the short rigs out of San Luis Pass and hooked up with some nice fish, including King mackerel, Spanish mackerel, an undersized ling that was released, along with sheepshead and bluefish.

Capt. Ron Woods hosted Jaime Escobar, Javier Lehtinen and his brother Kristian to a trip to the concrete ship where they each landed and tagged a bull red, along with a variety of other fish that were released
