Trinity Bay Fishing Report
- Dec 4, 2024
- SLOW. 68 degrees. Decent numbers of redfish in the marsh using live shrimp and soft plastics. East shoreline spotty for trout, but waders are still finding some solid fish depending upon tide and wind. Upper ship channel bays fair for speckled trout, but good numbers of black drum, along with the occasional sheepshead and redfish being caught on live shrimp. Report by Captain David Dillman, Galveston Bay Charter Fishing. Normal tides are bringing in a lot of trout primarily on the north ends in warmer water with movement and also some decent sized ones are showing up under birds next to the shoreline. Redfish are being caught regularly but the slot redfish can be difficult to find for some. Bull redfish are all over but seem the spot reefs are on flats with rocks being caught on weedless paddle tails and live shrimp under a short popping cork. Flounder are showing up at a rapid pace being caught on paddle tails on rock flats, but remember they are catch and release only until December 14. The best paddle tail we have been successful with is the WACky Shad XL in the peppered pumpkin color. Always wear your kill switch and pay attention to weather. Looks like a good front with west wind will show up mid week. Should make for a great dump and make a lot of fishing fantastic moving forward. Report by Captain Zackary Scott, Zack Attack Fishing.
