21 NOV 2024 · For November 21, 2024, the fishing conditions along the Texas Gulf Coast are looking promising. Here’s what you need to know:
Sunrise is at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be around 5:20 PM. The weather is clear with moderate tides, making it ideal for a day out on the water.
Yesterday saw excellent fishing conditions, especially around the jetties and bays. In Sabine Lake, redfish and speckled trout were fair on live shrimp under a popping cork. At Bolivar, speckled trout were good on live shrimp, while large croaker, sand trout, and black drum were caught using dead shrimp[1].
In the Galveston Bay area, redfish, black drum, and speckled trout were fair on live shrimp. West Galveston Bay saw speckled trout biting on soft plastics and live shrimp, with redfish doing well on live shrimp[1].
Port Aransas was another hot spot, with redfish caught on silver spoons, shrimp, and cut mullet. Speckled trout were good on croaker, piggy perch, and shrimp free-lined. Black drum were also biting well on shrimp[1].
For today, live shrimp remains one of the best baits across most areas. Soft plastics, top-waters, and suspending twitch baits are also effective for speckled trout and redfish. If you're targeting black drum, dead shrimp and cracked crab are good options.
Hot spots to consider include Port Aransas, where the combination of shrimp, croaker, and piggy perch has been productive. Another good spot is West Galveston Bay, where the use of live shrimp and soft plastics has yielded good results for speckled trout and redfish.
Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing on the Texas Gulf Coast, so make sure to get all your gear ready and hit the water early to take advantage of the morning bite.

17 NOV 2024 · If you're heading out to fish in the Gulf of Mexico along the Texas coast today, here's what you need to know:
First off, the weather is looking pretty good, with clear skies and moderate temperatures. The water temperatures are still in the upper 70s to low 80s, which is ideal for a variety of species.
Let's start with the tides. Today, in Port Aransas, the low tide was at 9:08 AM with a tidal coefficient of 89, indicating high tides and strong currents. The high tide will be at 6:54 PM. Sunrise was at 6:51 AM, and sunset will be at 5:35 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there[3].
Fish activity has been robust across several areas. In Redfish Bay, anglers are catching limits of redfish and some trout using piggy perch. The surf is producing lots of redfish and black drum, along with some gafftop, small stingrays, and bigger sharks, especially around Gilchrist and High Island[1].
In West Galveston Bay, look towards the back lakes and coves for better-sized speckled trout. Birds are working over smaller specs and sand trout, and you can catch decent numbers of speckled trout and redfish over shell using live shrimp under a popping cork or Gulp Shrimp with a 1/16 ounce jig head[1].
In Texas City, the old river has been good for trout, redfish, sheepshead, and mangrove snapper using live or dead shrimp. Chocolate Bay and Bastrop Bay are also hot spots, especially in the mornings and evenings with live shrimp under a popping cork[1].
For bait, live shrimp is the clear winner across most areas. It's working well for speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and even sheepshead. Cut mullet and piggy perch are also producing good results, especially for redfish and black drum[1][5].
Some of the best lures include imitation shrimp under popping corks, Gulp Shrimp, and 1/8 ounce jig heads with Wac Attack and Deadly Dudley tails in lighter colors. Swimbait hooks with tails are also effective when fishing flooded grass[1].
Hot spots to consider include the jetty areas where you can catch a mix of redfish, black drum, sand trout, and even some crabs. The back lakes and coves in West Galveston Bay are also worth a visit for speckled trout. If you're near Port Aransas, the surf and areas around Gilchrist and High Island are seeing a lot of activity[1].
Remember to stay safe and enjoy the great fishing conditions the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer.

Yesterday saw some excellent fishing, particularly for flounder. November and December are prime months for flounder in the bay and gulf, and they were plentiful. White trout were also leading the charge, with many anglers reporting good catches between the rain storms.
For flounder, your best bet is to use soft plastics or live bait like mud crabs or shrimp. For white trout, small jigs and spoons are working well. If you're targeting other species like redfish or speckled trout, try using lures like flukes, swimbaits, or even topwater plugs in the shallower waters.
Some hot spots to consider include Mesquite Bay and the areas around Port Aransas. Mesquite Bay has been producing good catches of flounder and other bay species, while Port Aransas offers a mix of bay and gulf fishing opportunities.
Overall, the fishing is really good right now, so if you can get out between the rain storms, you should have a productive day on the water. Just remember to check the local forecasts and adjust your plans accordingly. Happy fishing

Black drum have been great on shrimp, and silver spoons have been producing good results for redfish at both the north and south jetties.
### Best Lures and Bait
For redfish, silver spoons, shrimp, and cut mullet or menhaden are your best bets. Trout are responding well to croaker or shrimp, and black drum are hitting shrimp consistently. If you're fly fishing, consider using small hair bugs, gurglers, or poppers, especially for picky and spooky reds. For trout, use large streamers early in the morning and switch to sight-casting with tan, slow-sinking flies as the sun rises.
### Hot Spots
Port Aransas is a hot spot right now, particularly the north and south jetties where redfish and trout are abundant. The areas around the rocks and shallow waters near these jetties are also producing good catches. Another good spot is the Gulf Coast around Rockport, where you can find trout and redfish cruising on white sand and grass flats, especially mid-day.
### Additional Tips
When fishing in these areas, consider wading to lower your profile, especially in shallow lakes and skinny flats. Use 10' to 12' tapered leaders with 12# to 16# fluorocarbon tippets in clear water. Be mindful of duck hunters on shorelines and back lake systems, and remember to release large female trout to help with conservation efforts.
With these conditions and tips, you're set for a great day of fishing on the Texas Gulf Coast.
