Galveston fishing report





Galveston Fishing Charter Company
832-917-FISH(3474)



Monday, conditions did not improve as much as expected, and a lingering easterly wind continued to dampen enthusiasm for fishing.

Improvement came during the afternoon and at least one angler was able to take advantage of it.


Shepherd McKinsey of Texas City fished the causeway area using live shrimp for bait and landed two slot reds and two nice sheepshead.
McKinsey said the water was in excellent shape between the two bridges and that a school of Spanish mackerel came through severing the leader on his popping cork.
Late Sunday, Mark Savage fished around the piers and pilings along Teichman Road and landed two specks, a slot red and several ladyfish using live shrimp fished under a popping cork.
Earlier in the day Savage fished near the entrance to the Crash Basin and encountered prolific action on small sand trout.
One of the bright spots lately has been crabbing. Jerry Armand found good-sized crabs in Moses Lake while working several lines off a dock near The Fish Spot Bait Camp.
Chicken necks on the end of a line attracted 15 large blue crabs. Armand said it was the best crabbing trip he has had in several years.
Allen Waddell and his family fished from a pier on the Diversionary Canal on Sunday morning and landed five good-sized crabs along with a number of croaker, whiting and hardheads all caught using rods and reels with dead shrimp.
Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported catches of croaker, whiting, sand trout, blacktip sharks and bull reds late Sunday.
Speaking of the 61st Street Fishing pier, Wednesday begins their month long King of Redfish Tournament.
This is the second year for this event. Entry fee is $20 per person with prizes awarded for the three longest reds caught during October.
