Happy Holidays, water is cool but we are still fishing.  Flounder season was good with several good days of flounder catching.  We had good day fishing Clear Lake before Christmas.  Caught some big sheepies, rat reds, and some good trout.  Our big trout was 27", 6.5 lbd and caught on live shrimp drifted.  we have a small boat for one or 2 guys to fish special price, $200, half day.   







 


Winter Fishing & Flounder fishing  Had a great day with December season on Flounder now.  Flounder are moving and hungry.  Catch em while the catching is good. 







Bull Reds Days of October-November,  catching bull reds now and starting to catch Flounder too.  Fall special,  $100 off all rates!!









Shark Days of August, finally able to reach our shark hole and sharks were waiting.  We found shark pack near some structure and caught and released about 20 spinner sharks from 30-100 pounds.  They were in feedin Frenzy and stayed with boat for an hour while we chummed and kept one in water.  We had quadruple hookup and usually duall hookups.  I must of gone thru a box of hooks and swivels.

Hotter than a firecracker on July 4, fishing and weather too. Winds have finally laid and water is improving daily.  July 6 fished some Ft Worth police guys.  They caught lots of spinner sharks, spanish mackerel, big bull red, big Kingfish, and nice Jack crevella.

Friday 13,   fishing with couple buddys at Galveston Jettys.  Hooked nice trout and red.  On 14 had charter and wind was from North at 20+.  found hidey and still caught a nice mess of speckled trout and sandies.  








Had a red banner day on saturday.  Caught 6 big redfish, most over 28".  Also caught a limit of 16 sheepshead and several slot black drum.  whew almost ran out of hooks and sinkers.  Then my knife bout wore me out at cleaning table.  













Spring Break Week fishing improved all week after rainy cold front Monday.  By friday it was 80F, sunny and fish were biting.  Caught some nice red and black drum along with a ton of sheepshead fish.  Sheepshead are a bunch of great eating, bay snapper.  Spring was here officially on sunday and fishing will get better and better till summer.

Fall bull red 2010

Speckled trout

 80 F and fishing is like summer too.  water temp almost 80 at jettys.  Early May fished the jettys and Texas City flats, catching speckaled trout, reds, sharks, sheepshead, and spanish macs.  shrimp bait scarce but they catch fish at jettys, lures work better back in bay.  Fishing should remain great on into summer if darn oil spill stays in La. and east. 

Spring Break and March Madness
Black drum aka BIG Uglies have been running this past week.  One day we caught 20 of the big bruisers.  We stopped fishing for them and then they ate our shrimp that was for whiting.  water has warmed to 65F but another coldfront will knock that back.  trout have been biting for us at night and in West bay. 

















Its a New Year 2010.  Fishing has been slow and cool or maybe cold.   We've been out some hunting for some trout and reds with mixed success.   We found slot reds last weekend in Brazos river even though it was cold and windy.  Now it is colder and a little rain mixed in.  Good time to work on reels, boat, and web site.   Reports are at least favorable for trout and reds with no reported freeze kills and good bite in west bay.   Jetty reds should still be hanging around and big uglies should get better soon.  We will be out as soon as it warms up a little and track down some fish, at least for dinner.  Capt. Joel


Lil boys  BIG Bulls
October has been bullish

Its Fall now and Big Bull Reds are here


Bull reds have returned to Galveston and should hang around for a few months.  We caught a limit Monday.

KINGS are here for the summer in galveston

Blacktip shark

June and summer is turning fishing around and fish are to be found in usual hideouts.  Trout, reds, and sharks have been good near jettys.  Offshore a little ways the sharks and Kings are waiting for a nice day to fish.  We are busy but have time to book you a trip this summer. 

April showers and Wind

May has blown in to Galveston.  Yes literally it has really been windy.  20+ mph most days makes it tough to get on fish and stay on them.  We have been hunting hard for the fish and finding a few and missing a few.  Tried night fishing under bridge lights for trout on Mothers day.  caught several small trout at night next to lights.  The 4 guys only fished with artificials even though I left my best arty box in truck.  After daybreak we scouted the south shore and found a nice fat 25" speckled trout chasing bait.

March Madness 2009

Still March madness, snow in N Tx, and OK.  fish biting in galveston. Jason from Tulsa, Ok and his first time to fish in Tx saltwater. 

We have been fishing March Madness this week.  Mom,dad, son daughter, grandma and they all caught fish.  Plenty of Big drum up to 50 pounds.  Spanish mackerel are in too.  little girl caught 3 bigs spanys today on zebco with dead shrimp.  We caught 2 sharks this week too so spring is really here.  She helped her daddy catch this Big Ugly/drum.

Spring Break 2009

Redfish have been hitting at jettys and bays.  We need some warmer water before the real spring fishing kicks in.  Gulf water temp 65F March 12,2009. Cold fronts coming thru don't help, especially for offshore.  We have caught nice reds last few trips and they are fun to catch.   We can find you some fish for sure.  fishing will get better every day.  Capt. Joel

Winter 2008 Report:

Spring can't be to far! Spring brings spring break and big Uglys,black drum.  Yeah there are Big and ugly. Fight reel good but don't taste too good and not legal anyway.  Sheephead is another spring fish and they are ugly too but they taste good even if they are hard to clean. 

 We fish all winter for trout and Reds.  West Bay is famous for winter trout and slot reds.  The jettys are holding big reds and drum along with speckled trout. On warm days it is real nice to get out. The darn cold fronts come thru frequently and are tough on fishing.  But after they clear it can become warm as a spring day.  we were out last Sunday on great winter day.  Fished off Seabrook flats for speckled trout with a friend and his son.  It was foggy early and bait fish were stirring on surface.  I managed to catch a few sand and speckled trout on plastics.  They sure made some fantastic fish tacos back at la casa.  Capt. Joel

bullreds Fall 2008

Summer is our best time of year.  Seas are usually calm and migratory fish come nearer shore.  Sharks come into shallow nearshore waters.  Kings and Spanish mackerel are available in easy runs offshore.  Dolphin can be found in weed lines and patches, especially on clam days.

Fall is famous for Bull Reds.  These bruisers are great fighters and arrive in large numbers.  Sharks and mackerel are still nearby before departing for warmer water for winter. 

Winter in Texas is variable and migratory fish are further offshore in warm waters.  Tuna and Wahoo are famous near floater rigs and coral patches.  Bay fishing for reds and trout continues even after cool fronts rool through.
