Gulf Coast Texas Fishing Report: Crappie, Catfish, and Bass Abound

# Your Best Damn Fishing Report - Gulf Coast Texas Hey folks, welcome back to the show. This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Friday morning Gulf Coast Texas fishing report. Let's kick it off with the tides. Down in Galveston, we're looking at a low tide at 8:30 AM sitting at minus 0.8 feet, with a high tide rolling in around 5:23 PM at 1.0 foot. The tidal coefficient's at 61, which means we've got some decent movement—not the best, but fishing's still solid. Sun came up at 7:14 this morning and we're gonna have light till about 5:43 PM tonight. Now here's what's happening on the water. The Prairies and Lakes region is absolutely firing right now. Crappie are stacking up on brush piles in 20 to 25 feet of water—throw some minnows or jigs their way and you're gonna connect. Catfish are going off in the timber and on deep flats, especially in the 3 to 15 foot and 25 to 30 foot zones. Largemouth bass are hugging shallow structure under 6 feet on docks and bulkheads—red chatterbaits and Texas rigs are your ticket. White bass and sand bass are hunting in 18 to 24 feet of water, so don't sleep on those deeper zones. For your tackle box, you want crankbaits in bluegill patterns, chartreuse and black jigs with soft plastics, and topwater action if the conditions cooperate. Strike King and Yo-Zuri patterns are working. Live threadfin shad and minnows are absolute killers if you can keep 'em alive in the cooler. Hit the timber lines around Galveston Bay and the creek mouths where those catfish are gathering. Point Barrow up in Trinity Bay is always solid, and if you're feeling ambitious, push toward Round Point where the structure holds plenty of action. Get out there and get on the water—the bite's on.
