Trinity Bay Fishing Report

Nov 19, 2025

GOOD. 70 degrees. Northwest region of the bay, in Tabbs, Scott, and Burnett, are producing decent numbers of speckled trout on live shrimp. Few redfish are being caught along with black drum and starting to see better numbers of sheepshead. Report by Captain David Dillman, Galveston Bay Charter Fishing. Water clarity across Trinity Bay is ranging from good to great, though anglers should keep an eye out for dredging activity in a few areas. Shrimp are producing well in the main bays, mullet are abundant, and croaker are showing up in many spots. Redfish action is excellent off points and in guts with moving water over mud-and-shell bottoms, with WAC Attack Wacky Flukes in Sparkle Chartreuse or Pepper Pumpkin working especially well, along with live shrimp under a Redemption Outdoor Gear popping cork on a two-foot leader. Speckled trout are also strong in guts and drains with sand and shell near mud flats, hitting topwaters and rat tails in shrimp-like colors on ¼ ounce jigheads with an aggressive bottom-bounce retrieve. Drum and sheepshead are holding along rock banks and biting live shrimp under popping corks, as well as crankbaits trolled along the shorelines. As always, monitor the weather, wear your kill switch, and take advantage of the good clarity and salinity during this unusually warm fall. Report by Captain Zackary Scott, Zack Attack Fishing.
