Galveston fishing report

It is great to be back home in Galveston after a lengthy trip that started below the equator and ended in the Big Apple.

During many of the stops in ports along the way, I would head to the sports fishing docks and some interesting observations from those visits will be passed on in upcoming Reel Reports.


While the Internet and cellphone kept me abreast of happenings on the fishing scene in Galveston, I was not aware of the massive amount of seaweed that hit our beaches.
Soon after crossing the causeway onto the island, the odor of seaweed could be detected, and Friday’s front-page article in The Daily News gave an excellent update on the situation.
Seaweed still was around Friday; however, the surf looked to be in excellent shape for fishing this weekend.
A moderate southeast breeze contributed to good water clarity and, if this holds, look for some hot action along the beach front.
Earlier this week, Bobby Martin of Bayou Vista and two guests made an early morning trip to the jetties and caught 31 Gulf trout on fish finder rigs along with a stray gafftop and a sheepshead.
Early morning rough seas Wednesday allowed fishing only the Gulf side of the North Jetty.
John McMichael, Seawolf Park, sent a note saying the railing and cement walkway at the park that was covered with oil from the recent oil spill has been rebuilt and the entire bulkhead area is once again open 24/7 for your fishing enjoyment.
Generators and lights are welcomed, but not glass containers.
The first fishermen to use the bulkhead area after the reopening were having good luck with large sand trout and gafftop.
The most recent fishing reports from Friday confirmed the surf is catching fire.
Bulldog’s Bait Shop reported their customers catching specks, Gulf trout, pompano and reds from the beach front on live shrimp and croaker.
Supplies of live bait look good going into the holiday weekend.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported lots of specks being caught along with pompano, stingrays, sandbar sharks, gafftop and Spanish mackerel.
