Fishing Tackle Saltwater
Where/how to saltwater fish on Texas coast?
I would like to take my fiance saltwater fishing down on the texas coast. I’ve been on a 12 hour charter out of Galveston once, but I’m just looking to take her fishing in the bays and off jetties. I know nothing about it though so I would like to know where is the best place to have an exciting few days of saltwater fishing? I don’t really care what kind of fish, but the bigger the better! Do i just pick a random beach and cast out as far as I can? It seems like I wouldn’t get into very deep water that way. Galveston, Port A, South Padre, where should I go? Also, what kind of gear and tackle do I need to get? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I understand the oil spill is not impacting the texas coast hardly at all. Its flowing more northeast.
if you can get to galveston, i would go there. galveston has some of the best fishing on the gulf coast. it really depends on what you want to catch, to what bait you use. since you don’t care what kind of fish you catch, a good bait to use in general would be live shrimp or mullet. if you can, stop at a location that has lots of shells around. red fish will usually be there. just put on a mullet and cast out as far as you can and wait. sooner or later something will take the bait, usually a red fish or shark. as for tackle i would get a 10 foot rod with a spinning reel. the length of the rod can help you cast further. also on the bay side of galveston there is a place called san luis pass, in my opinion it is the best fishing anywhere in texas. just find a lighted pier, wait till night, and buy a pint of live shrimp and you’re good to go, you’ll limit out with trout in less than an hour if its a good night. one time fishing there, i fell asleep in a chair with a rod in my hand, and woke up and there was a 22 inch trout on the line.
hopefully i have helped you a bit, i know my thoughts were all over the place.
good luck
