Galveston fishing report





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



Monday a strong south wind played havoc with anglers trying to fish deep, mid-bay reefs; however, areas along the Galveston Ship Channel were fishable and flounder were being caught.

Crabbing is good which is typical for October, with large blue crabs being caught in just about every area of Galveston Bay.


Bull red action continues at a fast pace along the beach front and around San Luis Pass.

Henry Homrighaus fished Ganges Bayou near 8-Mile Road Sunday where he observed reds tailing and found them hungry for live mullet. He did not mention the number he landed but added that he caught two dozen crabs in his crab traps and most were full and large.

Capt. Jaime Cantu has been placing his guests into limits of bull reds from around the jetties.

Nelson Bell fished the piers and pilings between the Galveston Yacht Basin and ferry landing early Monday and landed six flounder, two keepers to 17 inches and four throw backs. White Shrimp Gulps was the bait.

Along the beach front, Spanish mackerel have returned with the clearer water and anglers fishing the beach front piers and rock groins have been taking a few.

Richard Belleau, 61st Street Fishing Pier, reported whiting, blacktip sharks and bull reds being caught in addition to Spanish mackerel.

Last Saturday night,Cooter Compton fished from a lighted pier in Harborwalk and landed two keeper flounder, seven specks, three keepers and four undersized, and a large ribbonfish. Live shrimp was the bait.

The party boat Capt. John made offshore trips both Saturday and Sunday. The combined catch from the two trips included ling to 45 pounds, king mackerel, bluefish, blue runner, sharks, Spanish mackerel, spade fish and croaker.
