Galveston Bay Fishing Report

Fishing Report 11/9/08

This is going to be a quick report as I'm doing it in an e-mail to my web-master as my computer has crashed. Reports are still good in the upper part of the bay system. Birds are working catching numbers but you have to weed thru the smaller Trout. Drifitng with plastics is the best bet unless your looking for Flounder which are making thier move along the normal places. Like I said... this is going to be short, so feel free to call or e-mail me if your in need of more info. I will try and get this computer fixed or a new one before next weekends report. Sorry but it happens every once in a while."

With my final move the good news is people won’t have to cross the ferry and go to Bolivar (the ferry still isn’t open to the public) for some time. I’ll be running out of the other side of the bay system. Launching from the Fish Spot on Moses Lake, Under the Kemah Bridge, Sylvan Beach or out of Galveston somewhere so drive time will be cut down for those early morning take offs. So a 30 to 60 min drive can get you to the ramp depending on where you live.

As for ramps open the Kemah Bridge Ramp, Dickinson Bayou Ramp under the 146 Bridge, The Fish Spot on Moses Lake (which also has the best burger around) and live shrimp most the time, Fat Boys ramp I heard was open and should be holding bait this week from reports I got, the ramp on Offats Bayou at 61st. I found out that April Fools ramp is closed but they are planning on rebuilding the Topwater Grill soon form what I was told.

I also want to touch on another subject lots of boats have been flooded and are being salvaged, cleaned up and sold. If your looking for a used boat for the next year or so make sure you have a dealer check it out. It may run now but as the salt eats the wiring it will be nothing but trouble. A to good to be true deal may be just that. Take your time and be careful. If anyone has any questions please feel free to call or e-mail me, we all want to be on the water but it’s nice getting back to the ramp safely.

I also want to say “Thanks” to everyone that has called or e-mailed to check on myself, Brian, Jessica, Carol and Chip since the storm. You don’t realize the friends you have until something like IKE hits. Thanks again and my prayers are with all that had losses do to the storm.

Until Next Week, Be Safe And Watch The Weather...
