Galveston fishing report





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



Monday turned out to be a nice fall-like day, and the fish were biting. What more could one ask for?
Reports from the surf, Moses Lake, East Bay and Pelican Island indicated the bite was on.


Greg Hagerud was back in the surf Monday morning and found plenty of reds and trout swimming around. Hagerud said that fingerling mullet were all over the place, and if you threw a shrimp past them and reeled it under the schools, it was a fish every time.
While the water was rough, the color and temperature were right. One of the fish landed, tagged and retained was a large bull red. When the fish hit the cleaning table, Hagerud was reminded of why he stopped retaining bull reds.
Flounder and reds were the catch from Moses Lake on Monday afternoon. Tommy Meyer and Gene Jones fished not far from the Fish Spot and landed three keeper flounder and three reds, two undersized and one 23-inch slot. Live fingerling mullet was the bait.
Frank Moore, Paul Redding and Marcia White fished East Bay on Sunday afternoon and ended up with four specks and two large gafftop. The action came from near Sievers Cut and was on live shrimp.
Royce Edison tried the Pelican Island Shoreline near Seawolf Park early Monday and found sand trout close to the shoreline. Using both live and dead shrimp for bait, he landed 13 sandies and a 16-inch flounder.
Along the beach front, good catches were reported from the 61st Street Fishing Pier. Richard Belleau’s report indicated good numbers of reds, gafftop, pompano, whiting, sand trout, Spanish mackerel, croaker and specks were landed late Sunday night.
The party boat Capt. John made a 25-mile offshore trip Sunday. The 61 anglers aboard returned with 30 sharks, 121 spadefish, four kings along with whiting, blue runner, mangrove snappers, lane snappers, Gulf trout, gafftop and croakers.
