Trinity Bay Fishing Report
- Oct 22, 2025
- GOOD. 83 degrees. Northwest area up near the Fred Hartman bridge fair for speckled trout with better numbers of reds, black drum, and sheepshead being caught on live shrimp. Report by Captain David Dillman, Galveston Bay Charter Fishing. Water clarity is phenomenal around the sip channel on the south end of Trinity Bay, decent along the east shoreline and near Baytown, and a bit murkier on the north shoreline. Trout are holding deep off shell sandbars mixed with rock, biting on quarter-ounce jig heads with sparkle chartreuse Wacky Shad XLs, and decent keepers are showing up under birds on the south end. Redfish are tight to the grass in the shallows or in 3-5 feet of water, hitting live shrimp under popping corks, shrimp limitations, or shad-colored crankbaits, with bull reds beginning to appear. Sheephead are active around bulkheads and can even be sight-casted in clear water using live shrimp or crankbaits, while drum are mixed in with trout and hitting paddle tails, flukes, or shrimp under a popping cork. Flounder are being caught semi-consistently on live shrimp or Redfish Magic spinnerbaits around points, bottlenecks, and drains. With cold fronts moving in, anglers should check the weather and watch the wind. Always wear your kill switch and be safe! Report by Captain Zackary Scott, Zack Attack Fishing.
