Galveston fishing report

The second big week of spring break is ending on a great note for fishermen. The warmer weather has attracted many more anglers to the water, and the catches have been good.
The jetties and areas around the Galveston Ship Channel have been productive for good-sized black drum and several other popular species of fish.
Upper West Bay is turning on and the causeway area, especially the railroad bridge, has been pleasing anglers with fair to good stringers of trout, sheepshead, smaller black drum and a few reds.
Capt. Jaime Cantu described his recent trip as “fantastic”. Cantu hosted Alex Rodriguez and his son Alex Jr. to at productive trip fishing the Galveston Bay Complex where his guests landed slot reds, bull reds, puppy drum, and a “bookoo” of sheepshead.
Early in the day, the group tried for black drum with minimal success and, after moving to another spot later in the morning, caught and released several big ones.
Hanley Hamel and her dad, Todd, had a great trip fishing with Capts. Mark Gonzalez and Rick Kraft aboard their boat No Worries II. Their catch included large black drum, bull and slot reds and lots of sheepshead. All of the action took place at the jetties.
Frank Halstead and Greg Winesanker fished the bay side of the causeway area railroad bridge early Friday and landed nine specks to 4 pounds. Live shrimp fished under a popping cork was the bait.
Carlos Campos and his three sons fished from the bank under the causeway bridge and caught puppy drum, sheepshead, whiting and a large stingray. Dead shrimp was the bait.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported his customers catching whiting, gafftop, bonnet head sharks, black drum and bull reds.
Rodney Glenn Garza, one of the legends in Galveston area fishing, passed away recently at the age of 49. Garza was well-known in the fishing community and supplied fresh fish to many of the restaurants in Galveston.
