  • February Gulf Fishing Report - Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum Biting Along the Texas Coast

    February Gulf Fishing Report - Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum Biting Along the Texas Coast
    Feb 8 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Texas.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. As of today, February 8th, 2025, the tide times for the Houston area are looking pretty favorable. We've got a low tide at 11:41 AM with a height of -0.94 feet, and a high tide at 9:29 PM with a height of 1.2 feet. Sunrise is at 7:05 AM, and sunset is at 6:04 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    The weather is still quite chilly, with water temperatures in the upper 50s, which is typical for this time of year. Light north winds are making it a pleasant day to be out on the water.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, anglers have been catching a variety of species, including speckled trout, redfish, and black drum. The annual black drum run is in full swing, and these fish are being caught at places like the Galveston jetties, Seawolf Park, and the Texas City Dike. Bull redfish are also making appearances in these same spots, particularly with live halved crab as bait.

    For speckled trout, the action has been good in deeper waters around South Padre and Port Isabel. Despite the cold weather, trout are still present, and using lures like Mansfield Knockers, Ball Tails, and twitch baits has been effective. About 80% of the fish caught in Port Mansfield were on Mansfield Knockers, so that's definitely a lure to consider.

    Given the current conditions, the best approach is to focus on moving tides, especially the incoming tide, as it brings in cooler, more oxygen-rich water that encourages fish to feed actively. For redfish, sight casting with Flats Buggs, particularly those with double bunny tails for calm conditions and curl tails for windier days, has been very effective.

    If you're targeting black drum and redfish, live halved crab is your best bet. For trout, tan, olive, and black crab patterns, Seaducers, and Clousers in sizes 4, 2, and 1 are good choices.

    In terms of specific hot spots, I highly recommend checking out the Galveston jetties and Seawolf Park. These areas have been producing some great catches of black drum and bull redfish. For trout, head over to the deeper waters around South Padre and Port Isabel.

    Remember to handle larger trout gently and release them, especially females over 21 inches, to help in their recovery and conservation.

    So, gear up and get out there The fish are biting, and with the right lures and bait, you're set for a great day on the water. Tight lines, everyone

  • Texas Gulf Coast Fishing Report - Favorable Conditions for Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum

    Texas Gulf Coast Fishing Report - Favorable Conditions for Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum
    Feb 7 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Texas.

    As of today, February 7th, 2025, the conditions are looking pretty favorable. Let's start with the tides. For the Houston area, we've got a low tide at 5:25 AM with a height of 0.3 feet, followed by a high tide at 9:40 AM with a height of 0.62 feet. The next low tide is at 5:03 PM with a height of -0.46 feet, and then another high tide at 11:33 PM with a height of 0.74 feet[1].

    The weather is quite chilly, with water temperatures in the upper 50s, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at 7:10 AM, and sunset is at 5:59 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, anglers have been catching a variety of species, including speckled trout, redfish, and black drum. The annual black drum run is in full swing, and these fish are being caught at places like the Galveston jetties, Seawolf Park, and the Texas City Dike. Bull redfish are also making appearances in these same spots, particularly with live halved crab as bait[1].

    For those fishing around Texas City, the tide charts show a low tide at 11:52 AM with a height of -0.19 meters (-0.62 feet) and a high tide at 7:17 PM with a height of 0.28 meters (0.92 feet)[2]. This moving tide, especially the incoming tide, brings in cooler, more oxygen-rich water that encourages fish to feed actively.

    Given the current conditions, the best approach is to focus on these moving tides. For lures, consider using Flats Buggs, particularly those with double bunny tails for calm conditions and curl tails for windier days. These lures are effective for sight casting to redfish on shallow flats. Additionally, lures like the Rooster Popper in blue and green colors have proven to work well in the surf and at the jetties[3].

    If you're looking for bait, live shrimp and finger mullet are excellent choices. They've been attracting a good number of slot-sized speckled trout, black drum, and redfish in the deep areas along the Gulf Coast[4].

    Some hot spots to check out include Port Mansfield and South Padre. At Port Mansfield, target potholes in thigh-deep water for redfish, and for trout, look to deeper waters around South Padre and Port Isabel. The Galveston jetties and Seawolf Park are also prime locations, especially during the black drum run[1][2].

    Remember to handle larger trout gently and release them, especially females over 21 inches, to help in their recovery and conservation.

    So, gear up and get out there – the fish are biting, and the conditions are right. Tight lines, everyone

  • Gulf Fishing Report 2025: Trout, Reds, and Drum Bite Strong on Texas Coast

    Gulf Fishing Report 2025: Trout, Reds, and Drum Bite Strong on Texas Coast
    Feb 5 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Texas.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. As of today, February 5th, 2025, the tide times for the Houston area are looking pretty favorable. We've got a low tide at 8:17 AM with a height of -0.23 feet, followed by a high tide at 4:50 PM with a height of 1.02 feet. These tidal movements should give us some great opportunities to catch a variety of fish.

    The weather is quite chilly, with water temperatures in the upper 50s, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at 7:08 AM, and sunset is at 6:02 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, anglers have been catching a variety of species, including speckled trout, redfish, and black drum. The annual black drum run is in full swing, and these fish are being caught at places like the Galveston jetties, Seawolf Park, and the Texas City Dike. Bull redfish are also making appearances in these same spots, particularly with live halved crab as bait.

    For speckled trout, East Matagorda Bay is a hot spot this month. Wading works best, especially on the south shoreline and in the coves when the weather is fairly warm and tides are high. Lower tides and colder water favor the other side of the bay. Muddy flats and patch reefs close to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) produce some big fish during the cold snaps. Topwaters and slow-sinking twitchbaits are popular choices for targeting big trout, along with soft plastics on light jigheads.

    When it comes to lures, you can't go wrong with some of the classics. For redfish, topwater plugs and the Berkley Gulp Saltwater lineup are highly effective. The Jerk Shad in New Penny color, rigged on 1/16-ounce jig heads for shallow water or heavier ¼-ounce heads for faster sink rates along jetties or in the surf, have been performing well. For surf fishing, lures like the Mirror Lure Catch 2000 and imitation shrimp such as the DOA shrimp in red flake color are also great choices.

    If you're looking for some specific hot spots, the Galveston jetties and Seawolf Park are excellent places to target black drum and bull redfish. For speckled trout, head over to East Matagorda Bay and focus on the south shoreline and the coves.

    In summary, with the favorable tides, chilly weather, and active fish, today is a great day to get out on the water. Grab your gear, choose the right lures, and head to these hot spots for a productive and enjoyable fishing trip.
