Fishing has been good the past couple of days.  I have been launching near the causway and fishing the Railroad bridge until around 10 then heading to the Galveston channel where the bit seems to be better late in the morning.  I haven't had any limits, but everyday has yeilded better than half limits.  It should continue for the next couple of weeks until the birds start working good.

Today was a blast.  I had a great couple, Jimmy and Leslie,  down for some R & R on the water.  It was a bit breezy, especially for August.  We threw some top-waters on our first drift and just as I was giving up on them I had a strike about 20 feet from the boat.  Of course there was no chance of getting this one in.  On our second drift I hooked them up with croaker, and the bite was on.  Before I could get all three lines in the water Leslie was hooked up.  Turns out she was hooked up with a 27 inch redfish.  We caught 2 or 3 trout per drift and easily filled their 20 fish limit along with a couple of sand trout.  Not a bad day on the water considering they heard another guide trying to cancel his trip this morning!

Fishing today with my son, Ronnie, before he heads back to school next week.  We got rained on a little on our way accross the ship channel.  As soon as we arrived at the jetty rocks I tied on a topwater for both of us.  He had never thrown a topwater before today and had a blow-up on his first cast.  It took me a couple of cast, but I got a couple of blow-ups.  Then, after only about ten casts, I saw the rocks begin to dissapear with the coming rains.

We headed down the bolivar beachfront.  Still throwing tops, I hooked a 20 inch trout.  Nothing else would hit.  We watched as the storm passed and headed back to the rocks.  Throwing croaker now, we couldn't get anything to hit.  We went up and down the rocks and couln't find a fish.  We headed back in and fished some protected water in the Galveston channel.  We started catching them right away. 


After a few drifts we ran out of bait and finished the day with 10 specks and 2 sand trout.  not a bad day by any stretch.

Today was one of those days.  I hosted 3 wonderful ladies to a day on the water.  When we pulled up to one of my favorite hotspots, the bait was everywhere.  I quickly baited up their hooks and gave them a lesson on how to fish croaker.  After all three were in the water, I baited up and tossed out.  Not even a minute passed before I set the hook on my first trout.  As I eased it toward the net it spit the hook.  I quickly reloaded and BAM another fish on.  I told them "They're Here!".  I reloaded once more and There's Another one!  I could not get these fish to cooperate to save my life.  I figures with this many fish, lets try topwater.  As soon as my lure hit the water a small trout knocked it into the air.  Every cast I got at least 1 blow-up.  I landed a fish on my third cast.  Caught a throw back a few casts later and then another keeper.  In all I caught 7 fish with 4 in the box in a matter of half an hour and my ladies just couldn't get bit. 

We tried a couple of other spots with no luck, then headed out to the jetties.  We began getting bites immediately, only problem was whatever was eaten was taking the hook as well.  Probably Spanish Mackerel or sharks.  We caught several trout and a Mackerel and called it a day.
