Galveston Fishing Report 5-18-16

  Once we get by Thursday and Friday, conditions look to improve with light winds and little chance of rain in the forecast.
Wednesday, there was not much taking place on the fishing scene around Galveston. It likely will be Saturday before we see much in the way of change.
The unsettled weather of recent days has the surf in poor shape for fishing; however, once the stormy conditions pass, the water clarity should rapidly improve. Late last week there were some excellent catches reported from all around the Galveston area including the offshore waters.

There is nothing to indicate that the action won’t resume, and this weekend looks to be a good bet for trout from the inshore waters and pelagic fish from the offshore.

Lots of freshwater continues to flow into Galveston Bay causing low salinity levels in Upper Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay and parts of East Bay. It remains to be seen when the floodwaters will slow down or cease to affect Galveston Bay.

Last Sunday’s edition of the Reel Report mentioned a meeting taking place in League City on May 18 regarding comments on the proposed red snapper regulations. The meeting is actually scheduled for next Wednesday, May 25, at the same location and time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I will be out of pocket for the next few days while dealing with an unpleasant health issue and ask your patience in receiving timely replies to emails and phone messages. Please continue sending in your fishing pictures and reports, and I will get to them as quickly as possible.
