Galveston fishing report

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




Saturday, weak tidal movement slowed the action on flounder. While there were a lot of limits taken, anglers were not picking up quick limits as had been the norm earlier in the week.

Very few other species of fish were caught around Flounder Alley, as the weak tides caused most fish to retreat until the water started flowing with bait.

East Bay produced some nice catches of trout early Friday and Saturday. Page Henley and Marco Delgado fished Hanna’s Reef early Friday and landed seven trout to 22 inches. Two flounder and a large croaker rounded out their catch, with the action stopping around 9 a.m.

Otto Adams fished out of Stingaree Marina Saturday morning and returned around 10 a.m. with five trout, a slot red and two puppy drum. Adams said that the bite started just after daybreak and lasted for just over an hour. Live shrimp fished under a popping cork, with a duel leader of a shrimp on one hook and a jig on the other, did the trick.

Lawrence Arnold was one of the many anglers returning to the Yacht Basin cleaning table with a limit of flounder. His catch measured 17 and 19 inches and took most of the morning. Several undersized flatfish were caught and two small keepers were released while Arnold waited for larger fish to fill out his limit.

Gary Kroll gave a report on night fishing from his pier on Channelview. Kroll has been taking close to limits of trout and a few reds and flounder using live shrimp free-lined. The action took place much later than usual, with 3 a.m. being prime time for getting bites.

Albert Miller called in to say that the crabs have moved away from the shoreline of West Bay. Miller crabs from his dock at Lafitte’s Cove and had been catching some nice blue crabs up until the last cold front.
