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.

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.
