Galveston Fishing Report - March 28, 2025: Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Reds, Trout, and More

Howdy y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 28, 2025. The sun's gonna peek over the horizon at 7:13 AM and call it quits around 7:35 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in some beauties. Now, let's talk tides. We're looking at a high tide of 1.98 feet at 2:54 AM, followed by a low of 0.25 feet at 9:29 AM. Then we'll see another high at 3:49 PM hitting 1.87 feet, and a final low at 9:42 PM at 0.54 feet. These swings should stir up some good action, especially during those transition periods. Weather-wise, we're in for a treat. Expect sunny skies with a high near 75°F and a light southeast breeze. Perfect conditions for both inshore and offshore adventures. Folks have been hauling in some nice catches lately. The redfish bite has been on fire, especially around the jetties and in the bays. Speckled trout are starting to show up in better numbers too, with some real gators being caught on live shrimp under popping corks. Black drum and sheepshead are still hanging around structure, and we're seeing the first signs of Spanish mackerel making their way back. For you artificial enthusiasts, can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a paddle tail soft plastic in chartreuse or white. The trout seem to be loving those MirrOlure Lil' Johns in the morning. If you're after reds, try a 1/4 oz jighead with a Gulp! shrimp in new penny color. Live bait is always a winner this time of year. Fresh shrimp, finger mullet, or croakers if you can get 'em will do the trick. Just remember, if you're using shrimp, make sure they're Gulf shrimp - no imports allowed for bait in these parts. As for hot spots, the Galveston Jetties have been producing consistently. If you're looking for some wade fishing action, the flats around West Galveston Bay have been holding good numbers of trout. For you offshore types, the rigs about 30 miles out are seeing some early kingfish action. Remember to keep it legal and let those big breeders go. Tight lines, and I'll catch y'all next time!
