The fishing this last
week was great. My
parties scored nice
limits of Trout fishing
live shrimp around the
gas wells near the Texas
City dike. West Bay is
starting to look real
good also. Ran 2 trips
there this week and
found some nice Trout
holding over shell reefs
and down around the San
Luis Pass. The North
Shoreline was holding
plenty of Redfish as we
found a few fishing
topwaters over shallow
grass. Bone Super Spook
jrs were just being
hammered be these
aggressive Reds. Most
were in the 22 to 26"
range. The San Luis Pass
should be heating up
again real soon as we
get near our fall
pattern. This is where I
will be spending most of
my time this fall. Fall
will be a great time to
get out on the water.
The heat of the summer
will be gone but the
fishing will be on fire.
The fall will bring some
awesome topwater action
down on the lower end of
West Bay. Also, fall
will bring in some great
bird action. This can be
some great action with
easy limits of Trout.
Trout feed on migrating
Shrimp that are leaving
the bays, the birds will
hover overhead feeding
on shrimp that are
pushed to the surface by
feeding schools of
Trout. This type of
fishing is a lot of fun
for anglers not wanting
to leave the boat. The
great Flounder run will
be taking place too!
This year the limits
have been cut to 5 per
person in October and 2
per person in November.
But there are other fish
that can be caught after
Flounder limits are met.
Fall is near and my days
are getting booked fast.
To get in on some great
fall time action shoot

Fishing the last few
weeks remains hot along
the North Jetty and the
Bolivar Wells. Free
lined shrimp along the
edges of the North Jetty
and deeper shells pads
by the Bolivar Wells
have produced easy
limits of Trout to 23".
I expect the fishing to
hold up in these areas
for at least another
month.
September I will be
starting to focus more
on wade fishing and will
be doing away with live
bait fishing until next
June. As we approach the
fall season I will be
down on the lower end of
Galveston's West Bay in
areas like the San Luis
Pass, Chocolate Bay,
Bastrop Bay, and
Christmas Bay. I will
also be spending a lot
of time in the Matagorda
Bay complex. Wading the
shorelines with
topwaters will be my
first choice along with
wading many of the shell
pads in lower West Bay
and surrounding bays on
the lower end. The fall
offers up some of the
our best topwater action
of the year. When the
water temps start
getting closer to 70
degrees the topwater
action will be on fire.
Also the bird action
should start kicking in
towards the later part
of October and will be
in full swing in the
month of November and
into December. This is
fishing at its easiest.
Fast and furious action
at its finest working
birds in the fall
fishing for Trout.
Book your trip now and
get in on some of the
explosive fall action.
To book a trip you can
shoot me an email at
captgreg@saltwaterassault.net
or give me a call at
409-939-1684.
Tight lines and be safe
on the water
