Location: Galveston Concrete Ship and Ship Channel
Air Temp: 80-88
Water Temp: 83
Depth: 30-35 feet
Winds: Sustained at 20 mph and gusting to 25 mph
Seas: Very choppy
Bait: Shad
My father-in-law, Jim, from Ohio joined me and my fishing buddy Alan for a trip in some tough winds. The winds were too much for a trip out to the jetties (we tried despite the rough seas), so we stayed in the bay and the ship channel for some calmer water. I've always had better success this early in the bull red run at the jetties, but we still found some in the bay. We landed 4 bull reds ranging from 18-22 pounds, about 20 gafftop catfish, a few small croakers and a whiting. We lost 2 large fish (likely reds) due to break offs. We had a great time fishing and enjoyed some good food at Casey's.
