Finally the wind and rain gave us a little break along the coast. The bay reefs in East Galveston Bay are red hot! Good numbers of nice trout are showing up on reefs along the north shoreline. We are still using live shrimp under a popping cork about 3 ft. deep. Water is in great shape and big schools of mullet are on top. There are a lot of birds working also. But some of the trout are small. Fishing should remain good and should just get better in the weeks to come. We are starting to catch some big trout on live croaker and that should bust wide open in the next couple of weeks. The south shoreline is also holding good numbers of keeper trout and slot reds. There is live bait available on Bolivar Peninsula but, as always, call first. Until next week, see you on the water.
