Galveston Bay Charters

I'll start this report off with a big thanks to the proverbial "weather gods". As we all know this has been an unusual May, kind of like last year, for the wind has not wanted to lay and get us into our normal pattern for this time of year. Well, we finally caught a break and were able to make it to one of my favorite late spring areas to fish a windward shoreline. I had the pleasure of fun fishing with my good friends Dr. Andre Landry of Texas A&M Galveston, his son Peter or PDL, and Cody Maddox. We arrived to the area right at sun up and slipped out of the boat to start our wade. The Dr. and I went one way and PDL and Cody the other. I told everyone that it has been a mid-morning bite and to just be patient and the fish will eventually eat. We had a few early blow-ups, but no hook-ups, so I switched over to a slow suspending bait and was able to stick two solid fish pretty quick. Then the bait just went away and so did that small window of a bite. Cody and PDL got a little antsy and wanted to go look for fish somewhere else, so I told them to go ahead that the Dr. and I would just stay here and grind it out. Well, just like clockwork we started getting bit on a regular basis at around 9:30. When the impatient ones showed back up at about 11 o'clock we already had strung 8 trout between 18-20" and released a few that were in the 22-25" class. They eased out of the boat and joined the party. We had to shut it down at around noon since I had to make it to a prior engagement early that afternoon. We left them biting as we were pulling away. All and all it was a great time with good friends and a little lesson in patience. If you know the fish are there but are not cooperating, just show a little resolve and keep grinding, they have to eat at some point. Call 281-300-5806 to book your trip today! Until next time...
