Trout action yesterday was a little slow due to the rains and lighting. I was not able to get out on the water until 6:30 am. Fishing this past week has been pretty good early during the incoming tide. I have had some really nice boxes of trout and a few nice reds as well. This past week I have had a new trout leader Tallbert of Austin, Texas with a trout of 26 inches and 5.6lbs. Nice job Tallbert!!! September is right around the corner and fishing looks to continue to be good. Give me a call to book your trip soon.

Another great morning in Galveston Bay, I had a group of 4 this morning. Took off out of Galveston Bait and Tackle and headed east. Got out early 5am, needed to beat the heat. I was out so early I was able to see some satellites. Picked up some nice trout on the end of the incoming tide. Had a tuff time getting them to bite while the tide went slack. However I was able to get some good ones just before the tide started out. Ended up with 22 trout to 3 1/2 lbs and 1 red.

Well Dolly did not hurt our bay system to bad. The winds and high tides caused the water to be a bit off color. However I fished both Friday and Saturday with both morning and afternoon trips. We had some nice trout both days, the afternoon trips have had the best action, the out going tides have been strong. I will be back out this week and hope to have some good reports for you to read.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Went out this morning to the spoils near Redfish Island and picked up two full limits of trout. The bay was a little off color and a little ruff but was able to take care of business before the winds started blowing 25 plus. I’m not scared of Dolly, Just pulling your chains I was sleeping till 9am. Trout action has been great this past week. I had some really nice boxes including some nice Spanish mackerel 18-24 inches along the south side of the south jetties all caught on live shrimp. Fishing should be good next week I will give a report next week. Tight Lines…..

This morning I had Gloria and Lisa out on a fun day on the water. We started our day off with Gloria getting into the boat and getting over her fear of boating. With winds out of the Southeast at 15-20 knots maid it interesting. She did great after making a 15 minuet boat ride we started with our first drift. As I showed Gloria and Lisa how to cast before I could open my mouth the Cajun Thunder was down under the surface. Gloria was reeling in the first fish of the day. I then showed them how to cast and pop the Cajun Thunder, I casted Lisa’s out and she had a fish on in no time. We then had a tuff time finding the fish for awhile; we did pick up several small ones. After about 2 ½ hours we found some more trout, the ladies did a great job and ended up with a nice box of fish. I still have a few days open the rest of this month if you want to get out on the water. Give me a call to book your trip today!!!

Another great day on the water this morning with Richard, Cory and Michael. I was able to put in this morning at Thompson’s Bait Camp. We had a East wind that helped bring the water back into the bay. Cory and Michel was giving Richard a hard time after the first few drifts. Cory and Michel were picking up some trout and Richard was not. Richard was saying it’s not over till it’s over. Then Cory picked up a nice 3lb trout. Well after a few drifts it was time for Richard to go to work. Richard ended up picking up a 3lb trout to go with his other 5 or 6. Richard stopped all that talking for Cory and Michael. Never the lass that had a great time out on the water this morning.

Monday, April 14, 2008

Today was a lot of fun with dad Larry and 9 year old daughter Natalie and grandpa. We were not able to launch the boat at Thompson’s Bait camp due to the very low water. We ended up putting in at another boat launch and maid our way to the fish. I had a great time watching Natalie put it on her Dad and Grandpa. Natalie started with one and ended up with several nice trout before the day was all over. All fish were caught on live shrimp under the mighty Cajun Thunder in about 3 feet of water that would normally be about 5-6 feet deep.

On the water this morning with Jason, Rick and Dick. From the very first cast to the last these three were giving each other a hard time in how many fish each other had. And who had the biggest fish. As Jason took the early lead on the first fish, after about two hours Dick took the lead. But it was not long before Richard turned on the light switch and started smoking both Dick and Jason. When it was all over Richard had not just taken the lead but had the most trout at the end of the day. It was a fun and productive day on the water. The trout were caught all morning in several different areas. We were fishing in 3-5 feet of water with both live shrimp and artificials. We had a few trout under the Cajun Thunder with a D.O.A. under it. Nice job there guys see you all this summer.

Friday, April 04, 2008

This past week has been nice with some really nice fish caught. We have had some nice trout and reds all caught on live shrimp under the Cajun Thunder in water from 3-5 feet, on day they are in shallow and the next day they are a little deeper.
