Gulf of Mexico, Texas Fishing Report Today

Artificial Lure here with your Thursday, October 30th, 2025, Gulf of Mexico Texas fishing report, serving up all you need from sunrise to sunset. We woke up to a cool bite in the air and glassy bay waters, with sunrise at 7:31 AM and sunset at 6:33 PM—just enough daylight for a double shift on the water. Tidal action along Galveston and the upper coast featured a high right before sunup, sloping out to a low this evening, so your best fishing windows are set around dawn and a couple hours before dusk. That’s when the water’s moving and the fish get aggressive, especially near the mouth of bayous and jetties.The weather is classic late October with light north winds and daytime temps pushing into the mid-70s. Early birds found slick calm bays, but expect a southerly chop offshore around mid-morning. Keep an eye on the birds—they’re busting mullet schools along the surf and inside the passes, a sure sign of heavy fish underneath.Fishing activity is hot inshore right now. Bull reds are thick on East Beach, Galveston and Bolivar jetties. Anglers tossing chunks of fresh mullet into the first gut have been reporting lots of drag-burners and oversized catches, with some solid slots mixed in. If reds are your game, get there early, set up with cut menhaden or blue crab, and hold on.Speckled trout are chasing shrimp and bait over shell and drains at first light. Offatts Bayou, Campbell Bayou mouth, and leeward marsh points are delivering trout on glow/chartreuse soft plastics and live shrimp under popping corks as soon as the sun hits that water. Move with the bait—where you see slicks and nervous mullet, trout aren’t far behind.Flounder are staging for their annual run, stacking inside marsh drains, ferry landings, and along the ICW banks. Slow-roll white curly tails or gulp swimming mullet, or get dirty with live mud minnows on a Carolina rig. Hit Greens Bayou or Beacon for less pressured flatties, especially on a dropping tide.Offshore crews out of Port Aransas are cashing in on a mixed bag—red snapper, lane snapper, black drum, and some quality grouper are biting on cut squid, sardine, or fresh tuna chunks. King mackerel are flashing through weedlines and rig edges—troll ribbonfish or live cigar minnows for steady action. There’s buzz about a few southbound wahoo this week, so run deep-diving plugs or high-speed lures past the outer breaks.Best baits and lures for the Gulf this week:- Bull reds: Fresh mullet, menhaden or blue crab on bottom rigs.- Trout: Glow/chartreuse paddle tails, or live shrimp under popping corks. Toss topwaters before sunup on calm mornings.- Flounder: Live mud minnows, gulp swimming mullet, white curly tails on a jighead.- Spanish mackerel: Silver spoons and small swimbaits in the surf.- Offshore snapper/grouper: Cut squid, sardine, tuna chunks.- Kingfish/wahoo: Trolled ribbonfish, deep-divers, live blue runners offshore.Hot spots to circle on your chart: the Galveston jetties are unbeatable for oversize reds and slot black drum. Offatts Bayou and Campbell marsh edges are loaded with trout and flounder when the tide’s riding out. Port Aransas rigs are the go-to for snapper, kings, and deepwater monsters.Top tip—always follow the birds! When the bait is nervous, so is the bite. After a front, start on the windward banks or jetty rocks at first light, then slide to protected leeward marshes by mid-morning. Keep a popping cork rig and a fast-swimming spoon at the ready.That’s your boots-on-the-dock fishing report for today.

Artificial Lure here with your October 29th, 2025 Texas Gulf Coast fishing update. If you’re headed out today from Galveston down to Port Aransas, you’re looking at classic late-October conditions—cooler water, bait on the move, and a solid fall bite all across the Gulf.Sunrise hit at about 7:33 this morning, with sunset coming up at 6:35 tonight according to Lone Star Outdoor News. Tides are moderate, sloping down through the day—Galveston Bay sees a high just before sunrise and a low moving in later tonight. That means your best windows for action are around first light and late afternoon, as the water moves[2][7][1].Weather-wise, you’ll feel a chill on the early drift, but expect it to warm quickly. A gentle north wind after the last front has left the bays calm and glassy early, with a light chop expected offshore by mid-morning. Birds are busting over mullet schools, so keep your eyes peeled for surface activity, especially near the mouths of bayous and along the beachfront[6].Fish are cooperating with the season. Inshore, the headline is bull reds—they’re thick along the surf and jetties. East Beach and the Galveston jetties are prime right now. Anglers fishing chunks of fresh mullet in the first gut are reporting big numbers, with lots of oversize fish released along with some solid slot reds[6]. Speckled trout are working shell and drains at daybreak. Early risers around Offatts Bayou and the Campbell Bayou mouth saw steady trout action tossing glow/chartreuse soft plastics and live shrimp under popping corks, especially if you slid over to leeward points once the sun warmed up[6][3].Flounder are in pre-run mode—stacked at marsh drains, ferry landings, and along the ICW edges. Live mud minnows on a Carolina rig or slow-rolled soft plastics are getting curb-checked by flatties, especially on a falling tide. Don’t be afraid to poke around smaller bayous like Greens or Beacon for less pressured fish[6].Deep sea? It’s been a fire run this week out of Port Aransas. Boats bottom dropping with cut bait are hauling in red snapper, lane snapper, steady black drum, and some quality grouper. King mackerel are flashing through the bluewater and responding to trolled ribbonfish and live cigar minnows—try your luck along weedlines or near the rigs. Tuna are mostly further out, with a smattering of blackfin showing up on chunked sardines, and the rumor mill’s swirling about a few late-season wahoo hitting high-speed trolled lures in the outer breaks[5].Top baits and lures:- Bull reds: Fresh mullet, cut menhaden, or blue crab on the bottom.- Trout: Glow or chartreuse paddle tails, live shrimp under corks, topwaters just before sunup.- Flounder: Live mud minnows, gulp swimming mullet, white curly tails on a jighead.- Spanish mackerel in the surf: Silver spoons and small swimbaits[6].- Snapper and grouper offshore: Cut squid, sardine, or fresh tuna chunks.- Kings and wahoo: Trolled ribbonfish, deep-diving plugs, or live blue runners[5].Hot spots you should try: East Beach jetties for bull reds at sunrise, and the West Bay shell for specks on a moving tide. If you’re after flounder, target the Texas City Dike or the drains at Offatts after the morning rush. For a mixed surf bag, hit Bermuda Beach just after first light when the water turns green[6].That’s your boots-on-the-ground Texas coastal report—bull reds tugging drag, trout slicking up the drains, flounder lining out for their fall migration, and offshore boats loaded with a box full of snapper.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you your Tuesday, October 28th, 2025 fishing report for the Texas Gulf Coast—from Galveston down to Corpus, including hot local tips and real catch data.Sun is rising at 7:37AM and setting around 6:47PM today. Right now we’re looking at a post-frontal crisp morning with clear skies. Winds are swinging from the north—about 8 to 12 mph—keeping humidity low and pushing bait shallow in protected bays, marshes, and cuts. The water is coolest at dawn and warming through the afternoon, giving those predator fish some urgency around the bite windows.Tidewise, Corpus Christi hits low at 1:26PM and your next big push is tonight after sundown. The tidal coefficient is moderate, around 40–70 across the coast; currents will be heaviest near jetties and bayou drains by afternoon, but overall range is less than earlier in the month. Moving water is crucial for making fish feed—best window is sunrise, and then again late afternoon as outgoing tides get those baitfish flushed into the open.Recent catches have been hot for **redfish**, **speckled trout**, and **flounder**. Upper Laguna and Bird Island have schools of reds, especially cruising shallows along windward banks. Trout are sitting pretty over grass beds and potholes, hitting hard at first light. Flounder numbers are building by the drains and flats, getting ready to push out for the fall run. Over at the Texas City Dike, the marsh drains and channel edges are trout magnets, especially when the water’s “trout green” and birds are diving. There’s also a solid black drum and sheepshead bite around the pilings and rocky points.Live bait is king in these temps: **live shrimp** under a popping cork for trout, **finger mullet** or **mud minnows** tight to the bottom for reds and flounder. Artificial action is great, especially early—throw **soft plastics** (paddle tails or shrimp imitations) in natural colors when water’s clear, chartreuse when it’s stained. **Gold spoons** work wonders on reds along wind-blown shorelines, and topwaters like the Super Spook Junior or Skitter Walk are deadly right at sunrise when water is slick.Use **1/8–1/4 oz jigheads**—drift plastics across potholes and over shell, especially at Packery Channel, JFK Causeway spoil islands, and the windward side of Laguna. Power-drift along Texas City Dike casting parallel upstream so lures tumble naturally through eddies. If you see birds working, match the hatch with smaller swimbaits like Z-Man MinnowZ or Strike King paddle tails.Hot Spots for today:- **Packery Channel (~Corpus):** Reds in the shallows, trout pushing into wind edges.- **Texas City Dike:** Trout stack on green water channel edges, flounder built up near marsh drains.- **Bird Island Flats:** Reds prowling on the hunt when winds hit from the north.- **West Bay Galveston:** Bird action means trout and slot reds under slicks and bait flips.Local tip: fish edges, not the middle, and work slow on the drop—the cooler water keeps bait hugging bottom and predators are looking for something easy to ambush. Cover water, switch up colors to match clarity, and watch the birds: they’re your best “on the water” fish finders.Thanks for tuning in—if you had a great catch or story, send it in for tomorrow’s report!

This is Artificial Lure with your fresh Gulf of Mexico Texas fishing report for October 27th, 2025.We woke up to a crisp fall morning along the coast—temps starting in the upper 60s as the sun broke the horizon at 7:36 a.m., setting tonight at 6:47 p.m. Winds are light out of the northeast, skies partly cloudy, and that barometer’s steady—prime weather for a confident bite all up and down the Texas Gulf[2].Tides today favor early risers, with high tide peaking about 7:15 a.m.—perfect timing for launching out and working those first-light flats. Low tide rolls in near 6:51 p.m., so plan to probe those deeper guts and channels as the day cools down[2].According to the Gulf of Mexico, Texas Daily Fishing Report, October’s action has stayed hot from Galveston down through Port Aransas, with redfish schooling heavy along the cuts, and solid speckled trout action when you find the bait balls. Folks working West Matagorda shorelines have really cashed in: that bite turned on where mullet were flickering, redfish slamming gold spoons and live mullet suspended under a popping cork, and a steady pick of healthy slots went home with every experienced crew this weekend[15][3].Specks are holding to oyster shell and deeper secondary bay reefs. Recent catches have included a lot of 16"-22" trout, with a few bigger ones mixed in on live shrimp and soft plastics—either glow or chartreuse tails. Kayak anglers drifting Kates Hole and Oso Bay have reported short but consistent flurries mid-morning, mostly on Z-Man ElaZtech jerkbaits and MirrOlure topwaters[5][12].Sheepshead and mangrove snapper numbers are solid inside the jetties and rock piles. Fiddler crabs or fresh dead shrimp are still the best ticket. Don’t sleep on those bridge pilings around Corpus and Aransas—several solid black drum and oversized reds were landed this week soaking fresh cut mullet.If you’re chasing bigger game, the outside surf’s produced some nice bull reds in the first gut, especially at sunrise—try cut menhaden or finger mullet on fishfinder rigs.Best lures right now? For reds: gold spoons, classic chartreuse paddle tails, and the tried-and-true Texas-rigged soft plastics. GULP! shrimp in natural or new penny colors have been lethal, especially where water clarity is good. For trout, toss topwaters early—Heddon Super Spooks, She Dogs, and bone-colored Skitter Walks. As the sun climbs, switch to soft plastic shad or shrimp imitations on 1/8-ounce jig heads; Z-Man and YUM Dingers are tough to beat[5][14][8].Live bait is still king if you can get it—croaker, mullet, and shrimp have all been producing plentiful trout and reds around major passes and deeper holes.A couple of HOT SPOTS you’ll want to check:- The shoreline edges of West Matagorda Bay, especially where you see active bait.- Copano Bay State Fishing Pier at first light—great for shore-bound or wade anglers.- For those with a boat, the reefs out from Port O’Connor and those deeper shell beds outside Kates Hole continue to stack up specks and reds.That’s your report for this morning.

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live from the Texas Gulf Coast on this beautiful Sunday, October 26th, 2025.We're looking at ideal fishing conditions today with sunrise hitting at 7:29 AM and sunset at 6:40 PM, giving us just over eleven hours of prime fishing time. The tidal coefficient today sits at 69, which is average, meaning we'll see moderate tidal movement - nothing dramatic, but enough to get those fish moving.For tide times around Freeport, we've got low tide hitting at 12:07 PM at 0.3 feet, followed by high tide at 10:15 PM reaching 2.2 feet. Over at Port Bolivar, the pattern's similar with the same coefficient of 69. These moderate tides are creating perfect conditions for working the flats and channels.The fall bite has really heated up along our coast. Redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and flounder are all active and hungry right now. The cooler mornings we've been experiencing have these fish feeding aggressively, especially in the early hours and late afternoon.For lures, you'll want to throw soft plastics - specifically, Keitech Swing Impact FATs on jig heads are producing well. The 2.8-inch size with a 3/8-ounce head is money right now. Don't sleep on topwater action either - poppers in natural shad patterns are crushing it in the early morning hours. For those targeting reds in the marsh, gold spoons and paddle tail swimbaits are consistently producing.If you're running live bait, live shrimp under a popping cork is hard to beat, especially around structure. Croaker and finger mullet are also working great for bigger trout and bull reds.Hot spots to hit today: work the jetties around Galveston and Freeport during the tide changes - that's when the bite really turns on. The artificial reef systems offshore are holding plenty of action if you want to get out deeper. Don't overlook West Bay either - the grass flats there have been holding some quality trout.The fishing's been phenomenal, so get out there and make it happen!Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's report.

Artificial Lure here, reporting live from the Texas Gulf Coast, where the fall bite is heating up and the promise of cooler, crisper mornings has anglers restless to hit the water. Sunrise today is right at 7:27AM, with sunset on the early side at 6:38PM, leaving a nice chunk of daylight to chase the reds, trout, drum and flounder across the bays and jetties along the Gulf.Tidal movement is gentle but favorable, with early morning high water topping out at 2:58AM, followed by a dropping tide into a slack low at 1:27PM, before a strong push builds again toward an 11:02PM high. That outgoing water late morning through early afternoon helps concentrate bait and has the predators lurking on ambush[Texas City Tide Charts].Weather is classic fall—mild winds and temps starting cool but climbing into the upper 70s. Light chop through midmorning but overall excellent for both inshore and jetty fishing. Cloud cover is light, which means fish will slide into those sand pockets and deep edges as the sun gets higher.Up the coast from Port Aransas, Captain Monty Graham at Texas Fishing Tips reports the barge channel and the ends of bulkheads are loaded with activity. Bull reds and slot reds are moving through in waves, and black drum are showing up in solid numbers. Cut baits—especially cut ladyfish, mullet, or perch—are the ticket for these big reds. If you can land a live pin perch, clip the tail and fins and you'll draw the right kind of attention. Live shrimp is producing well on the outside of the jetties, especially on trudging black drum and the occasional speckled trout. Early risers working the granite with live croaker or piggies are still finding trout hanging tight inside the rocks[Texas Fishing Tips, Oct 24, 2025].For artificial lovers, soft plastics and paddle tails are working along the Lilianne Channel and all down the sand pockets behind the shrimp boat channel, especially on high tide. Stick with natural colors to match the copious mullet and piggies present. Double up piggies for stubborn reds, or move lighter with just one for better trout action.Flounder is a strong bet right now—live mullet slow-dragged tight to the bottom is getting the best hits, especially around ICW islands and near current breaks. Dead shrimp is also working well for black drum holding on the island points. Use lighter weight rigs for these, just enough to keep you on the bottom and drift with the current.Recent catches have been solid, with boxes filling out with reds, a few upper-slot trout, drum and an improving flounder showing as October wears on. Some days the bite is soft and patience is needed, but working sand pockets and potholes as the sun gets higher is bringing results.A couple of hotspots worth your time today:- South Jetty at Port Aransas, targeting 18-30 feet with cut baits for bull reds and drum.- Back islands and sand pockets behind shrimp boat channel, especially islands one through four, drifting live mullet or piggies for a mixed bag of redfish, speckled trout, and flounder.Best baits for the day: cut mullet, cut ladyfish, live pin perch, piggy perch, live croaker, and jumbo shrimp for natural presentations. For artificials, go with a four-inch paddle tail or a Z-Man GrubZ in smoky or green pumpkin, or rigging a lightweight frog or swimbait if you're up shallow.That wraps up your Texas Gulf Coast fishing report for Saturday, October 25th.

Artificial Lure here, coming to you with your Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for today, Friday, October 24, 2025.We're kicking off the morning with comfortable fall temps around 78 to 85 degrees and light winds out of the northeast. Expect clear skies most of the day, so pack your sunglasses and sun protection. According to the National Weather Service, water clarity is excellent, and no major fronts are expected to mess up your weekend plans.Sunrise hit at 7:27 a.m. and sunset’ll close out your day at 6:39 p.m.—plenty of daylight to get lines wet from dawn till dusk. Tidal movement’s moderate today: first low tide was at 12:55 a.m., high tide rolled in at 3:14 a.m., second low at 12:46 p.m., and a strong high at 9:37 p.m. as reported by Tide-Forecast.com. The tidal coefficient is hanging low this morning at 49, meaning not a ton of current, but it does bump up a bit closer to dark. It’s not the most dramatic tide swing, so those pinch points and drains will be your best friends for fish traffic.Let’s talk bite. Captain Jeff Brandon of Get the Net Guide Service says the fall pattern is still rolling strong in East Galveston Bay. Surface temps steady at 78, water’s gin-clear, and bird activity is red hot across the flats. Redfish are hanging around those offshore oyster reefs, grassy shorelines, and back marshes. Trout and sizeable flounder are crushing bait on shallow flats with scattered shell. If you spot nervous bait or see birds working, park yourself and get to casting.Flounder season’s still open till the end of the month, so this is your shot—remember, regulations tighten up starting November.Best lures this week: imitation shrimp under a popping cork with a 12-inch leader is dynamite for trout and reds. Also putting up numbers are 1/8-ounce jigheads rigged with Wac Attack and Deadly Dudley soft plastics in light colors—don’t sleep on Fishbites tails if you’re specifically after flounder. For live bait enthusiasts, shrimp or mullet on the edge of deeper cuts or around structure will put you on trout, snapper, redfish, and the occasional sheepshead. Folks wading early along the beachfront are catching solid trout and redfish on topwaters and soft plastics, especially tossing live croaker or shrimp as the light comes up.Hot spots to check out:- **Bastrop Bay and Christmas Bay**: Birds are thick, and the trout and reds are right under them, especially in the mornings.- **West end of Galveston Bay**: Drift the flats with live shrimp under those popping corks.- **Freeport Harbor and beachfronts**: Early morning wading with live croaker, shrimp, or throwing surface plugs gives you a shot at both trout and redfish.- **Pinch points with current in East Bay**: Look for active bait—if it’s dead, keep moving.Recent catches include healthy speckled trout, lots of slot reds, flounder thick along marsh drains and edges, and still plenty of big black drum around the jetties if you want to yank and crank. Mangrove snapper are showing in the Freeport harbor, especially on mullet and shrimp.Best bet this weekend: get an early start, watch for working birds, move with the tides, and use light leader and realistic presentations. October fishing doesn’t get a whole lot better, so gather your crew and hit the water.Thanks for tuning in and be sure to subscribe for more local reports.

This is Artificial Lure with your Thursday, October 23rd Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report.Startin’ off with the **tide and moonplay**, folks around Freeport and Galveston can expect notably strong tidal movement today—tidal coefficient’s sittin’ high at 76, which means you’ll get major current for moving bait and hungry fish. On the Freeport tide table, you’ll see a low tide mid-morning at 10:22 am around 0.3 ft, then a solid high tide come evening, hitting 2.2 ft close to 7:05 pm. **Sunrise showed up at 7:27 am, sunset rolls in at 6:43 pm**, giving us over 11 hours of light and a great solunar window this evening for that after-work bite, according to Tides4Fishing.**Weather’s classic Texas Gulf fall—expect the morning slightly cool with a steadier warm-up, highs near the mid-80s, gentle southerlies, and semi-clear skies.** Water temps are sitting in the low-to-mid 80s as of Texas Parks and Wildlife, making for prime conditions for bay and surf action.Let’s talk **fish and catchin’.** In Texas City, Capt. Shane Rilat at North Jetty Bait Camp reports daily limits of **speckled trout, slot redfish, and croaker**, plus sand trout and the odds of a late-season flounder, especially near levees and Mosquito Island. He mentions **live shrimp** and **finger mullet** as the baits of choice.Over in Freeport, Capt. Jake Brown with Flattie Daddy Fishing Adventures says **specks, sand trout, and redfish are working birds in Bastrop, Christmas, and Chocolate Bays.** If you see mullet, drift by tossing soft-plastic shrimp under a Four Horseman popping cork, or just go with classic live shrimp or mullet strips. The harbor and the mouth of the Brazos have been steady for mixed bags—think redfish, trout, mangroves, drum, and the occasional flounder—all on natural baits.Bayfront hotshot in East Matagorda, Capt. Charlie Paradoski, is still seeing action on redfish and trout for waders and drifters, but it’s a bit slower and fish size is down from last year. Folks walking the jetties are seeing flounder gigging success as well.Headin’ farther south, Port Mansfield’s still “good”—topwaters like the **Glass Minnow or Sweet Heat by Mansfield Knockers** bring in solid trout and low slot reds. Wigalo’s soft plastics also score. Focus efforts wherever you spot rafts of mullet on the move. South Padre’s snook (yes, you heard me, snook!), redfish, and trout are biting on cut bait, live shrimp, and Fishbites, according to the Crystal Flats crew.Hot spots for the day? **Texas City Dike** remains on fire, especially early and late, both on the rocks and along Mosquito Island. **Christmas Bay** continues as a local favorite: wade out at dawn or dusk where the bait is thick, and you’ll be set for trout or the odd big fall red.For pier and surf anglers: the surf’s producing plenty of numbers, with black drum and reds cruising just past the first gut. Best bet there is live or fresh dead shrimp on a Carolina rig; topwater plugs like Spook Juniors are working first and last light for snappy trout.Quick gear tips—if you like artificial, **paddle tail plastics in “chicken-on-a-chain” or “Texas roach,” Gulp! Shrimp, or DOA 3-inch shad tails**. Got live bait? Shrimp’s the MVP, followed close by finger mullet, especially on a popping cork around shallow structure.Remember, a dropping tide in the late afternoon means fish are ambushing bait pulled out of the back lakes and marshes—set up near drains and you’ll find action.Big thanks for tuning in to your Gulf Coast fishing report.

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Gulf of Mexico Texas fishing report for Wednesday, October 22nd.Let's start with what Mother Nature's got in store for us today. We're looking at northeast winds running 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 25, so small craft need to exercise caution through this afternoon. Seas are running 3 to 4 feet in the nearshore waters out to 20 nautical miles, with waves stacking up east at about 6 seconds. A weak cold front pushed through last night, and we had some scattered showers and thunderstorms, but conditions are cleaning up as we move through the day.Now for the tides around Galveston Bay Entrance, we're dealing with a tidal coefficient of 49 this morning, which is pretty low, meaning we're not seeing much range between high and low. The coefficient bumps up to 54 at noon and hits 60 by day's end, so that afternoon bite might improve as water movement picks up. We had about 11 and a half hours of sun yesterday with solar transit around 1:04 PM.The bite's been decent despite the front. Redfish are still active in the bays and marshes. With these northeast winds, focus on the protected shorelines and marsh cuts on the south sides of the bays. East Bay and West Bay are holding fish right now, especially around the spoil islands and grass flats.For lures, you can't go wrong with bladed jigs like the Z-Man Chatterbait or Berkley Saltwater Slobberknocker worked along those grass edges. The vibration cuts through murky water after all this wind. Popping cork rigs are still producing - rig one with a DOA shrimp about 18 inches down and work it over the shell reefs. Spoons and soft plastics in natural colors are money right now too.The speckled trout are starting to show up better as water temps drop. Look for them around the jetties and along channel drop-offs. The jetties at Galveston Bay Entrance South are a solid bet when conditions allow.Best hot spots? Hit the marsh cuts around West Galveston Bay early, then work your way to the Galveston jetties as the tide picks up this afternoon. The spoil islands in East Bay are holding reds too - cast to the down-current sides.Thanks for tuning in folks, and don't forget to subscribe for your daily fishing reports.

Hey there folks, this is Artificial Lure coming at you live from the Texas Gulf Coast where the salt’s in the air and the fish are biting just right. Today is Tuesday, October 21st, and I’m dropping a fresh narrative fishing report for the bays, jetties, and surf all along our slice of the Gulf of Mexico. Grab a cup of coffee and let’s break it all down, Texas-style.We’re looking at about 11 hours and 21 minutes of daylight at Freeport today, with sunrise right around 7:26 AM and sunset just past 6:45 PM. That means you’ve got a good stretch for chasing fish under the sun—so don’t sleep in too late. Now, let’s talk tidal action. Over at Freeport, today’s tidal coefficient is hovering around 85, which is a pretty high value—expect some strong tidal movement, bigger water swings, and those currents could really get things stirred up near the passes and jetties. According to the Tides4Fishing charts, the tides are running at their peak for the season right now, so plan your trips accordingly. Higher water tends to give us trout and redfish hanging closer to marsh drains and cuts, while lower water can stack fish behind the bars and in the deep holes.Offshore and inshore, the weather’s been steady—warm winds out of the southeast, a bit cloudy early, but clearing up by midday. So long as you don’t see too much chop on the surface, you’ll find some good action close to the beach, around the jetties, and up in the bayous.Let’s get to the good stuff—what’s biting. Reports up and down the coast have been solid for speckled trout on the wade, especially early in the morning on the flats with a soft plastic under a popping cork. The old-timers at Sabine Pass swear by a quarter-ounce jig head with a glow-chartreuse Tidal Surge Split Tail Mullet. Redfish? They’re on the chew early and late, mostly hitting soft plastics in rootbeer or pumpkinseed, but a few anglers have been scoring with live shrimp or finger mullet, especially near the shell pads and grass lines. Flounder are moving now, too—around the passes, try hopping a pink or chartreuse Bass Assassin on a slow drift.The surf guys up and down Surfside Beach and Bolivar have been picking up bull reds and some big black drum on cut mullet and fresh crab. Some days, you’ll see Spanish mackerel and ladyfish busting bait pods close to the first gut—throw a silver spoon or a Top Dog walker and hang on. For those heading offshore, kingfish are still in range, especially off the Padre Island rigs and the Freeport jetties. Live cigar minnows and ribbonfish are money right now, but a flashy skirted ballyhoo will work, too.Let’s talk best lures and baits. This time of year, you can’t go wrong with a popping cork rigged with a live shrimp for trout and reds, but if you’re throwing artificials, soft plastics—especially in glow, chartreuse, and rootbeer—are the ticket. The Salt Strong podcast has been raving about shrimp lures for a reason—everything eats ‘em, from trout to snook, so keep a few in your box. For flounder, drag a spinnerbait or a DOA shrimp along the bottom near the passes. And if you’re after big reds, a slow-rolled spinnerbait or a weedless spoon can’t be beat over the grass.Here are a couple hot spots for today: **Freeport Jetty**—target rising water with soft plastics or live shrimp for big trout and reds. **Surfside Beach**—walk past the second gut with cut mullet or crab for bull reds and black drum. **Rollover Pass**—this classic flounder hole is starting to fire up; drift a live bull minnow or a mullet on a Carolina rig.Thanks for tuning in, folks.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you your Gulf of Mexico—Texas coast fishing report for October 20, 2025.We’re waking up to crisp autumn air with sunrise at 7:24 AM and sunset at 6:43 PM. Winds along the Corpus Christi and Galveston coast are expected to run north 15-20 knots, gusting to 25 knots, with fair skies and seas under 7 feet, according to the National Weather Service. It’s a textbook small craft advisory, so those heading offshore should take it slow and watch conditions.The tides today are moving: High tide at Galveston hits at 2:53 AM and again at 4:30 PM, low tides at 9:22 AM and 10:24 PM, with relatively moderate tidal coefficients meaning gentle currents—ideal for working baits on shallower flats and shoreline structure.Fall fishing is peaking, and the recent catches tell the story. Coastal anglers have reported strong numbers of **redfish**, with schools pushing shallow along the Upper Laguna and Bird Island flats. These reds are feeding aggressive on mullet and chasing bait populations up on windward banks after the last cold front. On the same stretches, **speckled trout** are staging over potholes in grass beds, most active right at first light.**Flounder** are stacking up along channel edges and marsh drains, prepping for their autumn migration. Reports from Rockport and Port Aransas have big southern flounder taking live mullet and soft plastics fished slow just off the bottom. **Black drum** and **sheepshead** are holding tight to rocks, docks, and pilings—easy pickings with live shrimp or fiddler crabs.In the surf and at jetties, bull reds are biting heavy, especially where tidal movement stirs up mullet and croaker. For the trout, smaller groups are moving into the bays with the changing tides, favoring shrimp under a popping cork or natural-hued soft plastics.A few days back, Lone Star Outdoor News highlighted good catches of slot reds, trout in the 18–22-inch class, and the occasional doormat flounder near Packery Channel and along JFK Causeway spoil islands. Marker 37 Marina and North Beach are producing steady bites, especially on outgoing tide when bait gets pushed off the flats.Hot spots to try:- **Packery Channel and Spoil Islands near JFK Causeway**: morning bite on reds, trout, and flounder.- **Bird Island flats and Upper Laguna**: sight fishing reds, dawn till mid-morning.- **Surf and Port Aransas Jetties**: big bull reds and stubborn black drum, especially on the falling afternoon tide.Best lures and bait:- **Live shrimp and finger mullet** (perfect under a popping cork for trout and sheepshead).- **Soft plastics - paddle tails in natural and chartreuse hues** (work well for reds and trout over grass beds).- **Gold spoons** and copper flash metal lures are killer for cruising redfish.- For flounder, Texas Crew’d Sport Fishing reports great success with live mullet rigged on circle hooks, letting it drift slowly in channels.- If you’re after big trout or want to draw in a heavy red, try the Berkley Chop Block soft glide bait—its foam body infused with PowerBait scent and responsive chopped action gets noticed around structure.Match lure color to water clarity: lighter, natural colors in clear water (“trout green”), and brighter, eye-catching options when the wind muddies things up.This is the time of year for decisive bites and tight schools. Focus on early morning and late-day sessions when tides are on the move. Keep an eye on points, irregular shoreline breaks, and spots where birds are actively feeding—these are nature’s fish finders.Thanks for tuning in to today’s Gulf fishing rundown.

Artificial Lure here with your Sunday, October 19, 2025, fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and the Texas Coast.Sunrise hit at 7:25AM and sunset’s coming up at 6:45PM. Skies kicked off mostly clear with light north wind rolling in after last night’s mild front, which cleaned up the water nearshore and pushed a good bit of bait shallow. Temps started out in the upper 60s, climbing toward 77 by midday, and winds should stay below 10 knots for most of the day. Tides for Gulf Coast spots like Galveston, Freeport, and Corpus Christi started with a low around 2:30AM and peaked high at 8:05AM, dropping again early afternoon—so best activity comes with those moving tides, especially sunrise to mid-morning and then again for the evening bite according to Tide-Forecast.com.Out of Corpus Christi and Bird Island flats, folks are putting limits of slot-sized redfish in the box by working live shrimp or finger mullet under popping corks right along grass edges at daylight. Soft plastics—especially paddle tails and shrimp imitations on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads—are working as that sun cracks higher, nabbed by both reds and solid speckled trout feeding over potholes and scatter grass. Gold spoons are waking up bull reds on jetties at Port Aransas right at high tide. According to Fishingreminder’s October update, flounder are staging along channels and marsh drains; best pull has been on mud minnows or white curly-tail jigs bounced slow at bottom.Galveston Bay is hot for black drum and sheepshead around rocks and pilings—dead shrimp and crab chunks doing the trick. Recent reports from The Post Newspaper say anglers are still getting steady trout bites on imitation shrimp under popping corks with 12–15 inch leaders.Warning for gulf sandbars and jetty walks: rare jellyfish with 70-foot tentacles are showing up, according to AOL, so keep an eye out if you’re wading and be sure to suit up and shuffle your feet.Bait and Lure Rundown:- Best baits: **Live shrimp, finger mullet, and cut mullet** for reds.- **Soft plastics and paddle tails** (white, natural, or chartreuse depending on water clarity).- **Gold spoons** for roaming reds.- **Imitation shrimp** under corks getting solid trout bites.- **Mud minnows, curly-tail jigs** for flounder.- **Dead shrimp and crab chunks** for drum and sheepshead.Lure shops and guides across Texas have been selling out of paddle tails and topwaters, especially as the “Fuzzy Dice” bass lures have lit up the freshwater scene, but stick with your tried-and-true saltwater patterns for Gulf species right now. Match your colors to current water clarity: go light and natural in “trout green” water, bright chartreuse if things get muddy, especially after fronts.Hot Spots Today:- **Packery Channel** for redfish, trout, and staging flounder.- **JFK Causeway spoil islands** for morning trout and reds.- **Port Aransas jetties** for bull reds and flounder during strong tides.- **Windward shores of Upper Laguna Madre** when the north breeze stacks bait shallow.Bite’s on early and late, so plan your trips around those high and falling tides for the most action. Remember to shuffle your feet for flounder and keep a lookout for jellyfish in the surf.Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe!

Artificial Lure here with your October 18th Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report. We kick off the morning riding a cool north breeze, perfect for that classic Gulf autumn bite. Sunrise today hit round 7:30 am, sunset will slide in at 6:56 pm. There's a solid swing on the tides—high water early, dropping mid-morning before a steady rise through the afternoon and into an evening high. According to Tides4Fishing, the tidal coefficient is hitting 78 by day’s end, which means you’ll see active current and strong water movement, so fish are going to be feeding along structure and moving water.Weather this morning is brisk and clear with moderate wind, calm enough to work the jetties but enough chop to stir up the bite along sandbars and the beachfront. Water temps are cooling, which triggers both bait and gamefish to move shallower, especially after fronts move through—classic October pattern.Let’s talk about what’s biting: Galveston and Freeport have been on fire with the annual bull redfish run. Folks are catching hefty reds at the piers and jetties on cut mullet and live menhaden, but don’t forget fresh crab if you want to get fancy. The beachfront is loaded up, and the Texas City Dike is seeing steady action from nighttime soakers and kayak anglers working the deeper sides. You’ll want stout tackle, because these bulls are big and mean right now.Speckled trout are feeding heavy over shell and along drains at first light. Throw topwater plugs like a bone Spook Jr. if it’s calm; once the sun pops up, transition to a glow chartreuse soft plastic on an 1/8-ounce jighead and work those slicks or follow the bird flocks. Don’t sleep on the popping cork with live shrimp for a mixed bag—school-sized trout, will also bring slot reds and the occasional sand trout.Flounder are staging at marsh drains, channel edges, and ferry landings on the backs of a falling tide. There’s real quality coming out of the Galveston Ship Channel, and folks are catching limits on live mud minnows and slow-rolled curly tail grubs. With the flounder run starting to ramp up, this is your window to fill the box before tighter regs kick in later in the fall.Spanish mackerel are running when the surf is “green to the beach.” Throw silver spoons or small swimbaits at the first and second gut early, especially if you see bait popping. Black drum are steady in the deeper channels, best tempted with fresh shrimp or quartered crab.For bay and pier anglers, live shrimp is the universal ticket, but don’t ignore fresh dead or Gulp! baits if shrimp is scarce. In terms of artificials, paddle tails in white or chartreuse, and slow-sinking twitch baits, are the big producers right now.Hot spots for today: The Galveston Ship Channel is loaded, particularly at the ferry landing and the Pelican Island bridge. Down south, the Port Aransas jetties and the edge of the Lydia Ann Channel are both producing. East Matagorda Bay shell reefs have been steady at dawn for specks and the occasional slot red, especially when that high tide is backing off.As always, keep an eye on current regs—NOAA Fisheries recently posted updates for managed species closures in the Southeast, so check your target species, especially offshore.Thanks for tuning in to your local bite, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

Good morning, Gulf Coast anglers—this is Artificial Lure checking in with your all-coastal Texas fishing report for Friday, October 17th, 2025. If you’re headed out to the Gulf or working the bays and backwaters from Galveston to Port Aransas, today’s shaping up to be a classic October bite. Let’s run down what you need to know before wetting a line.**Tides and Conditions:** Across the mid and upper coast, the first high tide hits right around 3:45 AM, leveling off to a mid-morning low near 9:45, followed by a healthy second high at about 2:30 PM and another outgoing low just after dark around 9:30. According to tide-forecast.com, today brings a nearly 1.7-foot morning swing and the afternoon push should keep fish feeding—timing those moving waters is key. Sunrise comes at 7:22 AM, sunset at 6:46 PM—prime for those dawn patrol and sundown bites.Weather-wise, National Weather Service Houston/Galveston is calling for light north wind and continued fall stable weather—temps warming fast to the mid-80s. Water clarity is solid after recent fronts, with bait thickening in the shallows and clean green surf on tap, especially after that high tide flips.**Fishing Action:** The fall run is officially on: reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife in Port Aransas say tarpon are still at the jetties, being picked off on live and free-lined shrimp as well as suspending lures. Redfish are schooling up predictably bigger and better, with oversized bulls gathering on the north and south jetties—try cut mullet or crab for the big ones, and silver spoons if you’re pounding the surf. The surf is also holding slot reds and speckled trout—best results with croaker or live shrimp early, before the water heats up by midday.The Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi area are lit up for redfish working the flats and guts, especially around Bird Island Basin, JFK Causeway spoil islands, and Packery Channel, all highlighted this week by FishingReminder. Speckled trout are sliding up onto grass edges and potholes at first light, and flounder are stirring on the deeper channel edges as they gear up for their fall migration. Don’t overlook black drum and sheepshead tight to rocks and marina pilings—dead shrimp or crab pieces are solid producers.**Lures and Baits:** Top artificial picks today are a soft plastic paddle tail or Gulp! Alive Shrimp on a 1/8- to 1/4-ounce jighead—these have worked reliably in both clear and slightly stained water. Classic gold spoons, especially the Johnson Silver Minnow, are hammering roaming reds. For early and late action, try a MirrOlure MirrOdine or Zara Spook topwater in mullet or bone: the “walk the dog” action has drawn some explosive strikes recently.For the live bait crowd, shrimp and finger mullet under a popping cork are fooling both trout and redfish, especially along channel edges and oyster reefs. Cut mullet is the go-to for those bigger bull reds—fish it static on a Carolina rig or drift it with the tide.**Hotspots:** Two can’t-miss spots right now:- **Port Aransas Jetties:** Tarpon, bull reds, and solid trout are all showing in the mix at first light and dusk, especially at high tide transition.- **Bird Island Basin/Upper Laguna Madre Flats:** Reds are schooling at sun-up along the shorelines and over potholes, especially when bait is showering ahead of them.Honorable mentions go to Galveston’s surfside near San Luis Pass for trout and the channel edges by Packery for flounder.That’s your on-the-water lowdown this Friday. Keep safety sharp, check regulations before you keep, and don’t crowd your fellow anglers out there—everyone’s here for the fall payoff.Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe for more Texas Gulf fishing insight.

Artificial Lure here—bringing you the latest from the Gulf of Mexico and Texas coast for Wednesday, October 15, 2025.Sunrise hit the water at 7:21 a.m. today with sunset rolling in at 6:48 p.m. out around Galveston and down the coast. If you’re planning to fish around Texas City, today’s high tide already peaked at 3:19 a.m. with a low expected at 7:40 p.m., making for prime movement in the water most of the morning and late afternoon—typically the best bite windows in this cooler October air, especially within 24 hours of those passing fronts, so you’ve got textbook conditions today according to FishingReminder.Weather-wise, it’s another warm and dry autumn day, but these early October cool fronts have dropped water temps just enough to kick-start the fall run, according to the National Weather Service in Houston. Winds have been light from the north, which keeps the surf green and makes for extra clean conditions, especially at first and last light. If you’re aiming for bulls and bigger reds, the beachfront and jetties are lighting up with classic fall action, with the bait runs moving strong and birds working nervously over mullet and shad schools, as highlighted in FishingReminder’s October report.Lately, folks working the flats and pinch points—think Bolivar, San Luis Pass, and the Galveston jetties—have found steady catches of speckled trout and slot reds, although there’s some sorting to do for quality. The redfish are schooling heavy at the mouths of bay drains and along the first guts in the surf, making cut mullet, big shad, or even crab a killer bait. For trout, try topwaters or soft plastics in a white or silver profile just at dawn, then switch to glow or chartreuse plastics as that sun climbs—stick with the bait migration and keep your lures moving. The Bolivar Peninsula report notes plenty of trout and redfish worked up over shell and grass in low-light, especially along current-swept points.Flounder action is slowly ratcheting up near marsh drains, ferry landings, and pass edges—falling tide is best, with small paddle tails or live mud minnows being the hot ticket. According to Channel reports and The Record Newspapers, we’re on the verge of that famous flounder run as the water chills just a bit more.For those heading offshore out of Freeport or Matagorda, deep live bait rigs and jigs are turning up red snapper, black drum, triggerfish, and even the occasional blackfin tuna. Captain Experiences clients this week landed a mixed bag—red snapper, big flounder, and some hefty black tip sharks. Cut bait, squid, and jigs around structure are producing best offshore.If artificial is your game, don’t discount the classic Texas-rigged soft plastics, especially Strike King’s Rage Craw or paddle tails in natural and chartreuse hues; throw topwater poppers like the Baby PopX at first light, as recommended by Discount Tackle. Silver spoons for the mackerel and twitch baits for trout and slot reds will keep your rod bent. If you want to fish like the locals, drop a live shrimp under a popping cork near shell or marsh edges.As for hot spots, don’t miss:- The Galveston Ship Channel or North Jetty for bull reds, trout, and flounder—especially on a moving tide.- San Luis Pass for its mixture of deep guts, strong currents, and good numbers of trout and reds.- The Texas City Dike, for easy access and a shot at reds, drum, and flounder in the channels.Follow the birds, watch for green water pushing to the beach, and don’t forget to move with the bait. The action is classic Texas fall fishing—just enough chill in the air but hot in the water.Thanks for tuning in to this Gulf Coast fishing update!

Artificial Lure here with your Texas Gulf Coast fishing report for Sunday, October 12, 2025. If you’re heading out, you picked a classic fall morning on the water—cooler air rolling in overnight, tides on the move, and plenty of hungry fish waiting. Sunrise hit at 7:27 am and sunset comes at 7:01 pm, giving us right at eleven and a half hours of daylight to work the bays and jetties. Across much of the coast—from Galveston Bay down to Port Aransas—the tidal coefficients are running moderate to high, meaning *there’s good water movement*, and that usually has fish feeding actively. In Galveston, that tidal coefficient is a solid 98 this morning, ramping up even further across the day, so expect strong currents, especially around the channels and passes (from Tides4Fishing). Down in Port Aransas, the action’s steadier with average tides—plenty to stir up bait schools along the beachfront and guts.Weather-wise, these crisp October mornings have been treating anglers right, though there’s word of some rough surf and minor flooding in low-lying areas on the mid-coast, so take care around beach roads and marsh entries (Country Herald & National Weather Service). Otherwise, it’s prime autumn fishing weather, and light north winds are setting the table for a great day.Let’s talk fish: The inshore scene is classic fall—*flounder* are stacking up with the first cold fronts stirring their migration. Anglers working Galveston and Surfside have reported steady catches dragging soft plastics and live mud minnows along the bottom, especially close to the passes and marsh drains. That flounder bite is only going to heat up in the coming weeks, so break out your paddle tails and Gulp! swimming mullets now (based on Galveston fishing YouTube reports and local chatter).Speckled trout have been popping up over shell in East Matagorda Bay, with many boats limiting out early. Look for the best action during moving tides. Topwater plugs just after sunrise have surprised a few folks lately, but most success has come on shrimp imitators and soft plastics under popping corks—especially when the breeze lays down mid-morning (Shallowrun Guide Service, Fishing Reminder Matagorda). Out west in Freeport and Matagorda, redfish are cruising shorelines and slot-size fish have been thick around grassy edges and flats, eager for shrimp-tipped jigs or live finger mullet.If you’re keen to mix it up, scattered reports say Spanish mackerel and occasional jack crevalle are still chasing bait around the jetties, with silver spoons and flashy hard baits doing damage (LuresHook’s bait guide backs this up—go for shiny, erratic stuff on those clear mornings).Now, for the hot spots:- **Galveston South Jetty and San Luis Pass:** Veteran anglers know these are high-current pinch points when fall tides run big—perfect for flounder ambush, and schools of specks behind the eddies.- **East Matagorda Bay Shell Reefs:** It’s trout city when the water’s moving over scattered shell.- **Port O’Connor Pass and Mud Island:** Consistent for reds and the occasional bull drum along channel edges in October.Best baits today? Start with Gulp! shrimp, H&H Cocahoes, or a classic white paddle tail for reds and trout. For flounder, a 1/4 oz jighead with a dark soft plastic tail can’t be beat. If you’re hitting deeper water or the surf, grab a big silver spoon or walk-the-dog topwater early.That's the scoop, y’all.

Gulf Coast sunrise came at 7:25 this morning and the air’s got that autumn snap—low 70s at daylight, pushing into the low 80s by midday with a soft north breeze, skies mostly clear, just a touch of humidity hanging in. Water temps are running 84 to 87 degrees across spots from Galveston down to South Padre—great conditions for chasing fall fish as the days shorten and the mullet move.Tides are starting low today, with a negative tide just before noon then pushing high overnight—South Padre hit low tide at 11:41 AM and will rise to nearly 2 feet by 10 tonight, so the late afternoon to evening window should really heat up, especially for surf and jetties. As every local knows, moving water around tide swings is prime time for gamefish.Redfish are thick just about everywhere—bull reds at Port Aransas are running big, with oversize fish reported on cut crab and mullet from the jetties and surf. Slot reds are hot from Galveston to Corpus on live shrimp, soft plastics, and anything imitating a mullet. Spoons are getting thumped in deeper cuts and along grass edges.Speckled trout are fair to good, especially in San Antonio, Matagorda, and East Galveston Bays. Folks are scoring steady keepers with live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics—chartreuse with a little sparkle has been getting bit. Little croakers and piggy perch are tempting the bigger specs for those drifting oyster shell or fishing near creek mouths.Flounder activity’s picking up as the water cools—live mullet and soft plastics fished slow along channel edges and marsh drains are the ticket, especially around Texas City and Bolivar. Look for those flatfish to stack up on outgoing tides the next few weeks.Black drum and sheepshead are hitting dead shrimp and fish bites in the deeper channels and along pilings—nothing fancy needed, just fresh bait and patience. Mangrove snapper are still showing in numbers around Freeport and lower Laguna Madre, eager for a shrimp-tipped hook.For lure tossers, top choices this week have been topwaters at first and last light for trout and reds, especially “bone” colored walk-the-dogs, plus gold spoons and paddle-tail soft plastics in root beer or new penny hues. For bait, nothing beats live shrimp, mullet, or cut bait for pulling the most bites.If you’re looking for hotspots, try these:- **Packery Channel** near Corpus Christi for slot reds and flounder on the outgoing tide.- **Galveston East Bay reefs** for trout at sunrise—drift with popping corks and shrimp or bounce plastics over shell.- The **Port Aransas South Jetty** for bull reds, flounder, and the occasional shark if you’re feeling feisty.October on the Texas Gulf means boats and waders stacked up, but there’s plenty of fish to go ‘round. Keep an eye on birds working shallow, watch those tide turns, and if the wind lays down, get out and drift the flats—you’ll find bait and, with it, predators.Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for more up-to-date, dockside fishing talk.

Hey y’all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Texas fishing report for Wednesday, October 8, 2025.First light came at 7:18 AM this morning and we’ve got sunset pegged for 6:54 PM, giving us nearly 11 and a half hours to chase those October linesiders. Tides are in our favor, with an early high at 4:31 AM, a lunchtime negative low around 1:39 PM, and the big flood coming in with another high at 10:39 PM, based on the latest from Tide-Forecast.com. That lunchtime low’s going to pull plenty of bait out of the grass and into the passes—prime time for ambush predators.Weather’s classic for this season: we’re working through the backside of a front with cooler temps and a crisp north breeze. Texas Storm Chasers say to keep an eye on the surf—onshore winds mean some extra rip current risk, but also churn up the bait and push those schools close to shore. Water clarity’s mostly “green to the beach,” which is just how we like it.Fish activity’s firing on all cylinders. According to FishingReminder and Bolivar Peninsula reports, it’s the front end of the fall run and the bite’s hot. On the upper coast, bull reds are thick around the beachfront and jetties. Cut mullet and menhaden on the bottom are pulling those drag-screamers within reach, especially at San Luis Pass and the Galveston North Jetty. Slot reds and Spanish mackerel are cruising the surf; gold or silver spoons, swimbaits, and Fishbites tails are all seeing action.Inshore, early morning is trout time. Speckled trout are moving shallow at dawn, working shell and grass edges, especially around East Galveston Bay and Confederate Reef. Topwater plugs at first light are landing some real gators—think bone or chrome if it’s clear, chartreuse if the water muddies up. Later, switch to soft plastics in glow or chartreuse. Flounder are staging at all the drains and marsh edges on the last of the outgoing tide; slow-rolled paddle tails or live mud minnows are putting flatfish in the box.Crab or shrimp is king for black drum in deeper channels, and don’t forget a live shrimp under a popping cork for mixed bags when the wind lays down.Hot spots this week: - The Galveston North Jetty—big reds, mackerel, and solid trout runs.- San Luis Pass and the west side of the Surf—bull reds, slot reds, plenty of sharks, and the occasional big flounder.For the bay folks, hit the mouths of marsh drains and shell reefs—look for birds diving and slicks popping.Quick lure rundown: - Topwaters (bone or chrome) at first light.- Soft plastics in chartreuse or glow fleck.- Shrimp imitations like Fishbites tails are cash money, as the local Bolivar report confirms.- Cut mullet or menhaden for big reds; live shrimp under a cork is versatile and deadly.Best bite windows today: early morning until mid-morning, and again around sunset as the second high tide fills in. Those major solunar times are 10:18 AM to 12:18 PM and 10:34 PM to 12:34 AM—don’t miss ‘em if you’re soaking baits.Thanks for tuning in—give these patterns a shot and you’ll be grinning in those grip-n-grins.

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Texas fishing report for Sunday, October 5th, 2025—based right on the water where it counts.Sun rose bright at 7:15 this morning and will slip beneath the horizon at 6:59 tonight. We're running a classic October set of tides: high at 4:20AM, a nice outgoing push just after sunrise with low at 10:00AM, another high at 3:58PM, then the evening drop at 10:21PM. That waxing gibbous moon will pop up at 6:08PM, giving a little extra pull and a chance for prime evening bites according to Tide-Forecast.com.Weather is just about perfect: highs nudging 80, a gentle north breeze laying the humidity down, and clear skies coastwide. Water clarity ranges green to sandy, with the wind just stiff enough to shuffle bait south. Cooler nights have plenty of us shaking off the summer, and if you’ve prayed for those crisp autumn fronts, today’s about as good as it gets.Fish are on the move: bull reds are tearing up the surf and bay drains from Surfside to Bolivar, chasing mullet hard. Early risers—especially kayakers and waders—have been landing bulls in impressive numbers; MDLR Fishing reports multiple double-digit days, with fresh shad or cut mullet on a slip-sinker rig doing most of the work in the surf and along jetty edges. If you see nervous mullet flipping at sunrise, get a bait in there quickly.Speckled trout are back in force, with Galveston Bay, West Bay, and Christmas Bay all producing fat keepers lately. Topwater plugs in bone or silver are lights-out at first light—especially over broken shell and grass beds. As that sun climbs, soft plastics like chartreuse and white paddle tails are beating out the old favorites; Fishingreminder.com adds that scent-charged pintails and paddle tails are a smart move when water gets a bit muddy.Don’t sleep on flounder—the marsh drains, bayou mouths, and ship channel edges are loaded right now. Outgoing tides around mid-morning have seen plenty caught. Live mud minnows are always reliable, but Gulp swimming mullets and downsized paddle tails fished slow and low are getting hit hard. In fact, the Christmas Bay and San Luis Pass areas saw solid limits just yesterday, with most flounder coming on slow-twitched plastics along the bottom.Hot spots around the Gulf today:- Galveston beachfront and both jetties: consistent bulls and trout, with flounder stacking at the mouth and edges.- San Luis Pass: the current can get sketchy but the fishing’s hot. Fish the edges or incoming tide for a mixed bag and watch for birds diving.- Christmas Bay and West Bay marshes: upper-slot reds and keeper trout, mostly on live shrimp or sunrise topwaters.Best artificial lures right now: bone and silver topwater walkers for trout, chartreuse/white soft plastics, MirrOlure or Rapala twitch baits, and scented paddle tails for flounder. If things slow down, tip your plastics with a bit of crab or shrimp scent.Live bait kings: fresh shad, mullet, live shrimp, and mud minnows. If anchoring up, a slip-sinker rig with cut bait is nearly foolproof for bull reds, as Captain Experiences guide crews have seen consistently.To sum up the last few days, folks are catching redfish in the surf and drains, trout over morning grass beds, and flounder stacked at every marsh outlet. Kayakers and boaters are finding limits before noon on a solid mix of lures and natural baits. Heavy reports from Galveston down to Sargent Beach echo that the fall run is on.If you want action, get out early or hit sunset.
