Texas Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, Mackerel Biting Strong

Howdy, folks! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for Sunday, March 30, 2025. Let's dive right in and see what's biting along the Texas Gulf Coast. First off, we're looking at a beautiful day with sunny skies and a high near 75°F. There's a light southeast breeze, perfect for both inshore and offshore adventures. Sunrise was at 7:10 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:36 PM. Now, let's talk tides. We've got a low tide of 0.16 feet at 3:53 AM, followed by a high of 1.79 feet at 10:51 AM. Then we'll see another low at 5:22 PM hitting 1.03 feet, and a final high at 9:04 PM at 1.27 feet. These swings should stir up some good action, especially during those transition periods. Folks, the fishing has been on fire lately! The redfish bite is red hot, especially around the jetties and in the bays. Speckled trout are showing 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. 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!
