๐ฏ Whatโs Biting:
๐ Sea Wolf Park:
Speckled trout, black drum, sheepshead, and occasional redfish. Live shrimp under popping corks and dead shrimp near structure should do work.
๐ฃ Galveston Fishing Piers:
Whiting, pompano, sharks, stingrays, and some slot reds. Fishbites + shrimp combo for smaller species. Bigger cut bait after dark.
๐ฆ Texas City D**e:
Redfish and black drum near drop-offs. Watch bird activity and bait schools. Some trout showing early.
๐ฆ Galveston Surf:
Bull reds and sharks remain the nighttime celebrities. Fresh mullet, crab, and ray chunks are your VIP tickets.
๐ฎ Pro Tip:
If the surf gets ugly this afternoon, donโt sit there getting sandblasted looking dramatic.
๐ Slide over to Sea Wolf Park
๐ Try Texas City D**e
๐ Or hit one of the Galveston Fishing Pier spots where you can still bend rods without fighting rough surf.
