Navigating the 2023 Fishing Season in Galveston Bay:
A Captain’s Perspective
2023 has been an interesting year to say the least. We’ve seen one of the longest stretches of extreme low tides, brutal heat, prevailing southwest winds, and high pressure that I can remember in my 40 plus years fishing on Galveston Bay. The good news is that things appear to be getting better. We’ve had a few sprinkles of rain, higher tides, a little cooler weather, and some much better catch rates. Also, redfish have really started to show themselves, and the big bulls will be thick soon.
The Perfect Storm: Tough Fishing in June, July, and August
In the world of fishing, every year brings its unique challenges, and 2023 was no exception for those of us here at Frenzy Guide Service, your go-to for a Galveston Bay Fishing Guide. The months of June, July, and August presented us with a series of challenges that tested even the most seasoned anglers.
One of the standout factors was the remarkably long period of extreme low tides. These low tides impacted our ability to access certain fishing spots and led to a shift in fish behavior.
Navigating Galveston Bay during this time required a deep understanding of the local conditions and the flexibility to adapt to the unexpected. That’s where our experience as your Galveston Bay Fishing Guide came into play. We were able to get on the fish, but I have to admit that we did put in some work. I’m certainly looking forward to the coming months when the fishing gets real good.
Signs of Improvement
Now, let’s talk about some promising developments. As the summer months transition into fall, we’re starting to see some positive changes. A few much-needed sprinkles of rain have helped alleviate some of the drought conditions, leading to higher tides. The cooler weather is beginning to take the edge off the heat, and most importantly, our catch rates are getting better each trip.
This change in conditions is a testament to the resilience of Galveston Bay and the incredible fishing opportunities it offers. While the tough summer may have caught us off guard, we’ve adapted, learned, and now eagerly anticipate the months ahead.
Exciting Redfish Action
One of the most exciting developments is the resurgence of redfish. These iconic Galveston Bay species have started to show themselves in greater numbers, and we’re anticipating the return of the big bulls. Redfish enthusiasts, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for!
