Galveston fishing report 5-16-15

Fishing the outgoing tide at night has been quite productive for anglers willing to miss a few winks of sleep. Friday night, I was among the group taking some nice trout after midnight when the tide was moving out. Others in the vicinity were catching a mixed bag of fish including trout, reds, black drum and a lone flounder.

While I retained five specks, it would have been easy to have limited out the way the action heated up between midnight and 1:30 a.m. Live shrimp was the bait and everyone I observed fishing was using the popular live bait. The action came from lighted piers all around Offatts Bayou and English Bayou.


Dean Silvers found the fishing tough Saturday morning with stops at Greens Lake, Offatts Bayou and Seawolf Park. Later he and his guests, Nancy and Richard Newsom of Marathon, crossed the channel to the Bolivar side and found fish among deep structure. Their tally for the day was 10 trout, two slot reds, two black drum and a sheepshead. 

Jetty Joe at Galveston Bait and Tackle reported some excellent catches coming from West Bay and the South Jetty.

Justin and Blake Crocker fished with Galveston Bay Outfitters Guide Service and landed 15 trout and three reds using live croaker.

Three anglers named Trey, Cullen and Ross returned to the bait camp with 10 trout and five flounder caught using live shrimp for bait.

Three G Charters took two guests to the South Jetty where they landed 15 gafftop and two bull reds while using squid for bait.

Debbie Deckard of Bolivar Yacht Basin Bait Camp reported a 26-inch trout caught by John Larocca of Beaumont. The catch came from just outside of Siever’s Cut. There was no mention of the bait employed.
