Galveston Bay Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Drum Biting Strong in January Calm

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico Texas fishing report for this crisp January morning. Tides at Galveston Bay Entrance South Jetty got a low at 1:42 am of -0.3 ft, risin' to 10:19 am high at 1.0 ft, then droppin' to 12:48 pm 0.9 ft, and evenin' low at 6:26 pm 1.1 ft—average coefficient of 61 means steady pulls, best action 'round the changes per Tides4Fishing charts. Sunrise hit at 7:11 am, sunset 5:51 pm, givin' ya solid daylight windows.

Weather's cool and calm, typical January with those chillin' mornings warmin' up afternoons—perfect for wadefishin'. Fish are active post-front: reds, trout, and black drum bitin' strong lately, per my recent checks on Gulf Coast reports. Folks pullin' limits of speckled trout on flats, slot reds in 2-4 feet, and bull reds drummin' the surf. Numbers are up—trout schools thick near shorelines, reds pushin' 20-30 inchers, some cobia and tripletail showin' in studies from Yellowhammer News.

Rig up with **gold spoons** or **soft plastics** like paddle tails in chartreuse for trout and reds—mimic those shrimp. Live shrimp or mullet under a poppin' cork kills it for drum. Jigs like Strike King Pro-Model in white or green pumpkin flip hot too.

Hit these hot spots: Galveston Bay South Jetty for jetty trout bombs, or Clear Lake shorelines where tides4fishing shows risin' water pullin' fish tight. Wade or drift 'em slow.

Y'all stay safe out there, measure 'em twice. Thanks for tunin' in—subscribe for daily bites! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
