West Galveston Bay Fishing Report
- Aug 20, 2025
- GOOD. 89-92 degrees. Fishing in the middle of Galveston Bay has been fantastic. Seeing lots of speckled trout and black drum coming from the gas wells located on the east side of the ship channel across from Redfish Island. Live shrimp fished deep under popping corks is producing best, but you can also catch them on soft plastics. Spoil islands holding black drum and some keeper redfish, along with speckled trout at times. Increased chances of rain in the forecast with a predicted early season front. Report by Captain David Dillman, Galveston Bay Charter Fishing.
Zebra Mussel Alert To prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the law requires draining of water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters. Get details.
