Left Tiki yesterday at
630 am and headed West.
Tides were running about
2' above normal and the
wind was out of the
southwest at 10 to 13
knots. First spot
paid off right away at
we had 10 Trout all
between 22 and 25".
I would guess about a 3
to 4lb average. I caught
all mine on a bone Super
Spook with the Tracey
and Taylor catching most
on plastics. The bigger
Trout were released. We
had a few fish on that
pulled off and I
probably
had another 6 or 7
blowups that were
missed. After that it
was a tough bite. Could
not locate big
concentrations of
surface bait. The trout
seemed like they pushed
out deep rather quickly
this morning. After the
early bite most of the
slicks were popping up
in about 5 to 6' of
water. Couldn't
reach them wading. Off
the water at 200pm with
12 Trout and 1 Red.
Turned loose another 4
or 5 bigger fish.

Spring I beleive has
finally arrived! What an
outstanding week we had,
you could not have asked
for more perfect weather
like we had this week. I
wished the fishing could
have been a little
better though. I had a
very
tough week as far as the
catching goes but we had
a great time trying. Our
water temp is at our
magic mark of 70 degrees
and there is a ton of
bait fish everywhere. I
expect things to really
start heating up here in
Galveston quick. Last
week we had a few
outings were we
experienced some good
topwater action but the
last cold front shut it
down pretty quick. I
expect that this week we
will start seeing some
really good explosive
action on surface baits.
Soft plastic Bass
Assassins have accounted
for most of the fish we
have caught lately but I
imagine in my next
report there will be a
better topwater report
with some very
impressive stringers
of Trout and Reds being
caught. I did do some
scouting the other day
around the San Luis Pass
area and things are
looking really good
here. I would say in
about 1 to two more
weeks (with no major
fronts)this place
will be red hot for
wading fishing with
topwaters catching some
really hefty fish. When
the San Luis Pass turns
on, you definatly don't
want to miss out on this
action. Topwater action
at its finest!!!!!

The last few days the
fishing has improved
greatly under much
warmer conditions. But,
that will change with
the forecasted front
that will push through
tonight. As of late we
are still catching
Trout, Reds, and
Flounder in the coves in
West Bay. The topwater
bite finally started
happening once again but
will more than likely be
put on hold for a few
day after the front.
This week we started
finding some solid Trout
on some
of the mid bay shell
pads when the wind
allows us to get to
them. Fishing slicks and
mullet have been the key
in locating these
aggressive fish. Bait
selection has not matter
too much the last few
days. Topwaters in the
big spooks and She Dogs
have worked early. Corky
Fatboys and the old
stand by Assassin has
caused the most damage
on Trout. The
plum/chartreuse Assassin
remains hot for me.
Book your spring trip
NOW! The fishing is
fixing to be
OUTSTANDING!!!!

The last few days we
have had some really
slow fishing. The last
several days we have
been catching 10 or so
fish and we really had
to work hard for them.
Fish are still comming
in and around some of
the coves located
along the south
shoreline of West Bay. I
am still keying in on
soft mud bottoms near
deeper guts when the
temps are colder. Later
in the day we are moving
more towards the
shallower areas of the
coves keying in on bait
fish. Some of our bigger
Trout are comming in the
shallows near the back
where the warmer is a
bit warmer later in the
day. Earlier this week
we were doing most of
our catching on
plum/char Saltwater
Assassins and darker
colored Corky Fatboys.
Yesterday I finally got
a good topwater bite on
a darker colored
topwater (black Shedog).
The bite didn't last
long but it was good to
see them busting a
topwater bait. The
topwater bite will
only get better as we
get more into the spring
time pattern.most of the
bay has been a little
off-coloed due to the
high southerly winds we
have had but alot of the
coves on the south
shoreline side have had
some good
fishable water. Keying
in on Mullet is a must
right now for catching
fish right now, aswell
as locating slicks. I'm
not seeing many slicks
right now but I am
seeing a few. This will
improve aswell as the
water temps get warmer.
