サマリー
あらすじ・解説
If you're heading out to fish in the Gulf of Mexico along the Texas coast today, here's what you need to know:
### Weather and Tides
The weather is looking good with clear skies and a slight breeze from the northwest. Water temperatures are ranging from the mid-80s to the upper 80s across different bays. Tides are still a bit high, but this is bringing in plenty of baitfish, which is great news for anglers.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be just after 6:30 PM, giving you a full day to get out on the water.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw some excellent fishing across various spots. In Galveston Bay, speckled trout and redfish were active under flocks of working birds. Redfish were tight to the shoreline, feeding heavily on shrimp in the crevices of rocks in shallow water. They were caught using crank baits and artificial shrimp rigged weedless. Trout were schooling up on shell flats and were caught on WAC assassins in the Texas roach color.
In Port Aransas, redfish were on fire at the tip of the north and south jetties using shrimp, cut mullet, or menhaden. Trout were also good with croaker, piggy perch, or shrimp free-lined along rocks. Silver spoons were producing good results for redfish at both jetties.
### Best Lures and Bait
For speckled trout, live shrimp under a popping cork, soft plastics, and top-waters are working well. Redfish are biting on live shrimp, cut mullet, and artificial shrimp. Black drum are fair on live or dead shrimp and fish bites in drains, sand pockets, and along oyster beds.
### Hot Spots
- **Galveston Bay**: The east shoreline and Spoil Island along the channel are good spots for redfish, flounder, and speckled trout.
- **Port Aransas**: The tip of the north and south jetties are hot for redfish and trout.
- **Baffin Bay**: Early morning shallow water fishing is still successful here. Look for areas with jumping bait and small slicks to target feeding fish.
Remember to keep an eye on the wind and tidal changes, as these can affect fish behavior. With the high water levels and plenty of baitfish around, it's a great time to get out and catch some fish. Good luck and tight lines
