Galveston fishing report

Until Thursday afternoon, I thought we might be returning to an ice age with little or no sunlight, however, the beautiful bright sun finally appeared and with it a warming trend.

Late Thursday, when crossing the causeway on my way back to Galveston there were at least three boats in view fishing at dusk.


Curiosity got the best of me so I pulled off the highway and made my way to Galveston Bait and Tackle, a favorite launching spots for boats fishing upper West Bay.

At the cleaning table was Mike Hester cleaning four nice trout he had caught earlier from a spot between the causeway and railroad bridges. Hester said that there had been limited action for the past week just before dusk and his catch was representative of what he had been taking each time.

In other fishing news, action popped open at the jetties Friday morning with the calm conditions and sunny skies.

Sand trout, sheepshead, reds and black drum were biting, and a few anglers were there to take advantage of it.

Smoky McDaniel and J.L. Russo fished the North Jetty just inside the boat cut Friday where they landed seven nice-sized sheepshead and two black drum. Live and dead shrimp were the baits.

Over at the South Jetty, Maurice Higgins and his two sons found action on bull reds catching three, tagging and retaining one and releasing the other two.

The rocks near the Galveston Ferry Landing produced two sheepshead and two whiting for Mack Shelton who fished from the bank using peeled shrimp for bait.

Bill Curtis of Pearland used dead shrimp and cut bait to land about half an ice chest of sand trout. His fish came from areas around the Pelican Island Bridge late morning Friday.
