The surf is in excellent shape and the first wave of Spanish mackerel has arrived.
The live shrimp shortage during the Easter weekend held back some anglers; however, those who used dead baits and artificials scored well.
Friday, D.J. Stone party of six from Splendora and fished the Galveston Bay complex.
By the end of the day, the anglers had caught bull reds, undersized reds, large black drum (all released), along with good eating-sized puppy drum, gafftop and whiting.
Crab was the bait that worked for the Austin family Saturday as Josh and his two sons, Austin and Tyler, caught a number of sizable black drum while fishing the Bolivar gas wells.
Action has picked up in the surf with the 61st Street Fishing Pier reporting catches of Spanish mackerel, bull reds, whiting, flounder and gafftop.
The party boat New Buccaneer made an overnight trip to deep-sea fishing grounds up to 120 miles from Galveston.
Capt. Smitty Smith placed his 49 guests into a lot of action during the 30-hour venture and the boat returned with 438 vermilion snapper, 364 blackfin tuna, nine amberjack, four yellowfins, nine skipjacks, a Warsaw grouper and a variety of other reef fish.
