Texas Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Tides, Temps, and Tasty Catches

Howdy y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Texas Gulf Coast fishin' report for this fine Sunday, March 23rd, 2025. Sun's peekin' up at 7:19 AM and we'll see it set around 7:32 PM, givin' us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Now, let's talk tides. We're lookin' at a low tide 'round 10:48 AM, sittin' at about -0.11 feet, and then a high tide comin' in at 8:23 PM, reachin' up to 1.7 feet. That incoming tide in the afternoon should get them fish movin', so plan accordingly. Weather-wise, it's shapin' up to be a beaut with temps in the low 70s and a light breeze from the southeast. Water temp's holdin' steady at 70 degrees, which means them fish are wakin' up and gettin' hungry. Speakin' of hungry fish, reports are comin' in hot about some real nice catches. Redfish have been bitin' like crazy, especially around Redfish Bay where they're hittin' dead shrimp in the jetties. Speckled trout are showin' up too, with some good action in the upper Galveston Bay over hard shell bottom. For you lure slingers out there, them paddletails are still the ticket. I've been hearin' good things about the Egret Wedgetail Mullet in Limeade color. If you're more of a topwater fan, don't forget your walk-the-dog style lures for them early mornin' blow-ups. Live bait's always a safe bet, with live shrimp under a popping cork bein' the go-to for most anglers. But if you're lookin' to switch it up, try some live finger mullet for them bigger reds. Now, for them hot spots. Y'all might want to give Bolivar Peninsula a look. The jetties there have been producin' some nice catches of redfish, black drum, and even some flounder. If you're up for a bit of a drive, Port Aransas has been on fire lately, especially around them gas wells for some big ol' black drum. Remember folks, always check them regulations before you head out, and be sure to practice catch and release when you can. We want to keep our waters full of fish for years to come. That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signin' off and wishin' y'all tight lines and bent rods. See you on the water!
