あらすじ・解説
As of October 24, 2024, the fishing scene along the Gulf of Mexico in Texas is looking promising, despite some varying conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is shaping up nicely with cool mornings and calm winds, making for ideal fishing conditions. Expect a high of around 75 degrees with gentle breezes from the east. Tides are moderate, with a low tide at around 7:30 AM and a high tide at 2:00 PM, which should help in navigating the waters effectively.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:38 AM, and sunset is at 6:44 PM, giving you ample daylight to explore the Gulf.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a robust catch of trout, redfish, and drum. The trout were particularly active in the early morning hours, biting well on topwater lures and soft plastics. Redfish were schooling in the shallow flats and were caught using live shrimp and mullet. Drum were also active, especially around the jetties and structure, where they were taken on crabs and shrimp.
### Best Lures and Bait
For trout, topwater lures like the Spook or She Dog worked wonders in the morning. As the sun rose, switching to soft plastics like the DOA Shrimp or a curly tail grub proved effective. Redfish were best targeted with live shrimp or mullet, either free-lined or under a popping cork. For drum, live crabs or shrimp fished on the bottom near structure were the way to go.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots yesterday was around the jetties at the mouth of the Galveston Ship Channel. Here, anglers caught a mix of trout, redfish, and drum using the aforementioned lures and baits. Another productive area was the shallow flats of East Galveston Bay, where the water clarity is about average, making it easier to spot schooling fish.
Overall, the conditions are ripe for a great day of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico along the Texas coast. Make sure to take advantage of the early morning topwater action and adjust your tactics as the day progresses. Good luck on the water
