upper coast trout in Galveston bay complex
Sunday was a special day on Galveston bay it is a day i will remember for years to come. I got to my wade spot in Galveston bay around 8:00 am thick fog blow over the bay and i could only see about 10 yards in front of me my first sight was that the bay was really offcolor for Galveston bay the water is not clear often but it is not horribly dirty either then i got a quick taste and then i realized it was runoff the water had a faint taste of salt. my first cast was right into a big school of mullet after about a minute i had a good thump on my croaker i pressed the button on my spool and let him run a little bit then set the hook and realized it was a giant trout with big head shakes it turned out to be a 6 1/2 pound trout .then the bight slowed down for about an hour then it turn on as i was headed back to the truck i ended up with 1 red and 6 trout. another great day on Galveston bay.

Nice catch and good technique to make sure the big trout was hooked. I'm busy currently with other responsibilities so I have to live vicariously through fishing reports. I'm not surprised that the water was more brackish considering all the rain we've had recently.
