West Galveston Bay report
1/25/09

Well this week the fishing was pretty good under some very nice weather conditions. Atleast up until yesterday when the front pushed through.
Most of the week we concentrated our efforts working coves along the south shoreline in West Bay. Wading soft mud in water from 2' to 4' throwing anything from Bass Assassins to topwaters has produced. With the warming trend late in the week we starting finding some more aggressive Trout and Reds willing to bust a topwater worked very slow. The coves have been steady producing Trout on plastics and several nice Flounder per outing. When the conditions have been right, we have found several Trout in the mid 20's to 28". Upper West Bay is still producing Trout drifting the mud streaks in the middle of the bay near North Deer, Confederate, and Meacoms. Though the bite in my opinion hasn't been on fire yet as it was this time last year.

Thanks for the report. Kind of what I'm planning this Tuesday after work. South winds will be back and hopefully a little water.
Appreciate keeping us up on your efforts!

Thanks ya'll!!!!!!!!

NOOOO POTLICKING DA PIMP!

:LMAO:

Ceeque had a he!! of a Trout on Saturday morning before the front hit. Probably 27 maybe 28". Bent the hooks out of his Super Spook jr LOL. Two cast later he had the 23 or 24" Trout that is in the picture which was released. After the front hit Saturday we made a grind of it picking up 7 or 8 Trout to 21" with 1 keeper Red. It was a tough bite on the south shoreline after the front hit no doubt.

I'm still around Chip LOL. Just been busy busy with the fish and dealing with a motor that I blew up on the water Wednesday LOL. I fried my Optimax on the Kenner Wednesday so I had to steal the Blackjack the rest of the week. Mine should have the new powerhead back on it by this Wed. Hopefully LOL.

imhammer,
You guys left too soon. I told you they would bite right at dark.
I went back a couple of coves West, and right after the sun set caught a 26" trout on a blk/chrm Skitterwalk in thigh deep water over deep mud.

You the man Kenny...I had boat issues again.I hadn't started the boat in awhile and a dead battery got me. Put it on the charger, went back in, and fell a sleep.
I hate working the board on the last night :mad:....can't get any rest!
