Galveston Fishing Charter Company
832-917-FISH(3474)
For those spring breakers lucky enough to have this week off, conditions should be excellent for fishing and enjoying other activities around Galveston.
Besides the gradual climb in beach water temperatures, another good sign is that we are beginning to see shrimp boats dragging their trawls close to the beach. This is a sign that bait fish, and in particular, shrimp are beginning to move. As the migration gets stronger, more and more shrimpers will be seen along the beachfront.
Austin Kimbrough sent a note from
the 61st Street Fishing Pier saying that Saturday’s fishing was
outstanding. Lots of sheepshead were caught as they swam around the
pier’s pilings and many customers limited out on the “jailbirds”. Good
numbers of black drum along with whiting, pompano and a 41-inch red were
caught as well.
We are beginning to hear from
more fishing guides who are getting back into the battle after a
winter’s hiatus. Sunday, Capt. Ron Woods, 2 Fishaholics Guide Service,
sent a note saying it was good to be back in action. His Saturday
charter, consisting of the Adrian and Cherry Lamoreaux of Lawton, Okla.,
and Jeff Strobl, managed some nice reds and sheepshead from a trip to
the South Jetty. Woods said it was a rainy day; however, the fish were
biting. Live shrimp and crab were used for bait.
John Eversole called in to report
that the night fishing at Harborwalk was outstanding late Saturday
night. Trout were everywhere around the fishing lights at his host’s
dock, and he and two other guests landed a combined 14 trout with only
five being undersized and released. A lone rat red was the only other
fish landed and it was released.
