I been fishing the west bay area for many,many years and I do fish east bay every ones in a moon..looking to find a fishing bud who knows the area well and trade spots with me....theres a lot to learn for me on east bay...
Yesterday morning found some dink specks and a 30" Red on east end towards rollover under birds. You are correct, it's just not quite right yet, but getting better.
We found a few in east last friday. I'll say the fish aren't where they "should be" this time of year. Fished the south shoreline a couple days lay week and only picked up a couple trout.
The fish are there, the super low tides have made it interesting. We had some success a few days ago with the usual undersized 17"-19" reds and oversized 31" big girl in the picture, no slots. The birds were definitely working, the binoculars came in handy. A few flounder and undersized trout mixed in too.
East and West of Galveston...behind the barrier islands along the Gulf of Mexico. West Bay is behind Galveston Island essentially from the south jetty and West. Easy bay is behind Bolivar Peninsula from the North jetty and east. Ever look at Google earth???
I would say two things....either find hannah's reef on charter or if shore fishing is your thing play the wind...north wind go south and vice-versa
my fechin' season is about to kick off so if you see a Black Pathfinder 2400TE in East Bay feel free to give a wave and watch out as i will be in the water huntin some rubber lips!
I fished it last week and couldn't fish very long. The smell was horrendous on the south shoreline. The deep reefs were fine though. Plenty of fish and no smell to deal with.
Water was definitely a little sandy today in most areas. Wind was blowing one way and tide was ripping the other way. At one point we were drifting into the wind, lol.
water color in mid east bay looked pretty good today actually. The further back you go the dirtier it gets. Fishing is still pretty tough. Or at least it was out there for me throwing lures and a couple buddies I talked to who were throwing shrimp and popping cork
