Over at Freeport, we're looking at decent solunar activity with a coefficient of 71—that's high activity, folks. Sunrise came in at 7:08 AM down in Galveston, and you're looking at sunset around 7:38 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours and 30 minutes of daylight to work with. **What's Biting** Here's where it gets interesting. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department records show Galveston Bay's been producing some serious fish. We're talking striped bass pushing 28 pounds, black drum over 50 pounds, and some gorgeous red drum hitting 44 pounds. More recently, spotted seatrout, sheepshead, and black drum have been putting up solid numbers. The junior anglers have been crushing it too—some impressive red drum and black drum catches just this past year. **Your Arsenal** For tackle, you want to think soft plastics and live bait. Drop-shot rigs with green pumpkin and goby-colored baits are working wonders right now. Berkley PowerBait and soft plastics rigged on light jig heads are solid choices. If you're throwing live bait, croaker, mullet, and live shrimp are your bread and butter for redfish and drum. Spinnerbaits like the Rocket Shad will cover water fast and get those aggressive strikes you're looking for. **Hot Spots** Hit up San Luis Pass—those shallow flats are cooking right now with the solunar activity peaking. Also check out the deeper structure near Alligator Point in West Bay. Both spots have been producing consistent catches throughout the season. Water's cooperating, the biting window is solid, and the fish are active. Get out there and make it happen.

Gulf Coast Texas Fishing Report: Crappie, Catfish, and Bass Abound

# Your Best Damn Fishing Report - Gulf Coast Texas Hey folks, welcome back to the show. This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Friday morning Gulf Coast Texas fishing report. Let's kick it off with the tides. Down in Galveston, we're looking at a low tide at 8:30 AM sitting at minus 0.8 feet, with a high tide rolling in around 5:23 PM at 1.0 foot. The tidal coefficient's at 61, which means we've got some decent movement—not the best, but fishing's still solid. Sun came up at 7:14 this morning and we're gonna have light till about 5:43 PM tonight. Now here's what's happening on the water. The Prairies and Lakes region is absolutely firing right now. Crappie are stacking up on brush piles in 20 to 25 feet of water—throw some minnows or jigs their way and you're gonna connect. Catfish are going off in the timber and on deep flats, especially in the 3 to 15 foot and 25 to 30 foot zones. Largemouth bass are hugging shallow structure under 6 feet on docks and bulkheads—red chatterbaits and Texas rigs are your ticket. White bass and sand bass are hunting in 18 to 24 feet of water, so don't sleep on those deeper zones. For your tackle box, you want crankbaits in bluegill patterns, chartreuse and black jigs with soft plastics, and topwater action if the conditions cooperate. Strike King and Yo-Zuri patterns are working. Live threadfin shad and minnows are absolute killers if you can keep 'em alive in the cooler. Hit the timber lines around Galveston Bay and the creek mouths where those catfish are gathering. Point Barrow up in Trinity Bay is always solid, and if you're feeling ambitious, push toward Round Point where the structure holds plenty of action. Get out there and get on the water—the bite's on.
