Galveston fishing report





Galveston fishing charter company
832-917-FISH(3474)



Specks are coming to life with some nice catches coming from East and West bays and the jetties before the wind picked up Sunday.

One of the more interesting catches came from Don Robinson, who reported two nice reds being caught by Esther Robinson in West Bay.

The interesting thing about this lady angler is she is 96 years young and she still is fishing.
Jack Cassidy landed a limit of trout while fishing West Bay on Saturday.

Also taking good numbers of trout was Dobie Hess, who fished West Bay early Saturday.

The jetties continue to attract numerous fish. Early in the weekend, good varieties of fish were being caught including specks, reds, sharks, black drum, jack crevalle and sheepshead.

Before the wind picked up, Williams Party Boats had its boats out, and both the bay and offshore trips were productive.

Thursday and Friday, Capt. Johnny Williams and his backup Capt. Jill Williams hosted an overnight trip for 37 anglers. The group fished the Stetson Rock area and the Boon Vang floating platform well more than 100 miles out. Their catch included two-day limits of red snapper to 18 pounds, amberjack, Warsaw grouper, vermilion and mangrove snapper and 169 blackfin tuna.
Minh Nguyen landed 16 of the tuna.

Saturday, the Capt. John made a 12-hour trip that resulted in limits of red snapper and 11 sharpnose sharks.

The Texsun II fished inshore and around the jetties Saturday where whiting, stingray, gafftop, bull reds and sharks were caught.

Galveston Party Boats has its fleet of boats in action during the weekend. Friday, The Cavalier had a successful morning trip returning with reds and sharks.

Saturday, Capt. Smitty Smith hosted 100 anglers on the New Buccaneer and among their offshore catch were 410 vermilion snapper, eight lane snapper, five mangroves, five amberjack, a Warsaw and almaco jacks, blue runners, big eyes, scamps and red grouper.

Captain Cody Carter took the morning and afternoon bay trip groups on the Cavalier and returned with red drum and sharks.

Sunday’s 30-mile offshore trip on the New Buccaneer resulted in kings, jack crevalle and sharks.
