May 12, 2013 There haven't been many changes since my last report which is great because there are good quantities of fish on most of the reefs in Galveston Bay. We have been catching some larger trout to 26" and also some keeper redfish and flounder thrown in. Most days last week were good except for Friday when the storm came through with the winds behind it. I have been catching specks on mid bay shell in 4-6" of water. They are hitting soft plastics in a chartreuse or limetruse color fished close to the shell. The bite is also good on shrimp under a popping cork and we also caught some big specks one afternoon on croaker when the winds were calm. Most reefs are holding fish so the winds really dictate which area might be best on a given day. The Bolivar surf is also starting to produce some good catches of specks.I have a few weekdays left the last couple of weeks this month but they have been filling quickly. Weekdays have been the best lately with a little less boat traffic and weekend fishing pressure. Also, now is a good time to take one of my fishing classes and learn some good spots to fish away from all of the boat pressure. We can fit a class into your schedule and run it early , late, or afternoon. Information on my fishing classes for East Bay is listed below. Email, call or text for availability, captbryan@swbell.net 409-256-1265. ![]() I am a full time fishing guide on Galveston East Bay so I am available for charters 7 days a week. I offer half day, full day, evening, and offshore trips. I plan my charters around your preferences so I offer trips for all skill levels and needs of my clients. I offer hardware (artificial lures) only trips, for the experienced sport fishermen who prefer to use only artificial lures. Also, I offer charters using live bait or a combination so we can take advantage of what they are hitting best for the day we are out. Your success and fun is what taking a fishing charter is about. 409-256-1265 www.FishingHouston.com, www.CrystalBeachCharters.com ![]() For exact fishing locations and techniques, I am conducting one-on-one classes of the Galveston East Bay System. We will spend a half-day trip exploring that bay and the techniques and timing of fishing there. Bring your hand-held GPS and a map and note pad and I will further your knowledge of the bay and patterns for fishing in all of the seasons of the year. These classes include everything from locations to tackle and lure selection; thus have a lot of content. So, I limit them to 2 persons max at a time. Call 409-256-1265 for more information. Classes start at 475.00 and are conducted in my boat on the water at the actual locations. We cover a lot of area and burn a lot of gas. Call 409-256-1265 for availability of trips and to reserve your fishing adventure. Check my website www.CrystalBeachCharters.com for prices and more information. You can also e-mail me captbryan@swbell.net for updated fishing conditions and trip availability. |
