  • Texas Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Drum Crushing It in Calm Conditions
    Jan 26 2026
    # Artificial Lure's Gulf of Mexico, Texas Fishing Report

    **Good morning, anglers!** This is your daily fishing report, and boy, do we have some excellent conditions shaping up across the Texas Gulf Coast.

    Let's talk **tides first**. We're looking at a low tide at 2:42 AM this morning, with a high tide coming in around 12:31 PM and another push at 4:59 PM here in Galveston Bay. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 53, which is average—nothing spectacular, but definitely fishable. Water levels are going to be transitioning throughout the day, so plan your trips accordingly.

    **The bite is strong right now.** Recent reports from Galveston Bay show trout, reds, and drum are absolutely crushing it in the calm conditions we've had. Anglers just last week landed plenty of reds, snook, snapper, and sheepshead when conditions cooperated, so we know these fish are aggressive and feeding.

    Here's what's **working in the water**: Spinnerbaits with bleeding accents are producing solid results on reds and trout. Your Redfish Magic Spinnerbait paired with a Flood Minnow is a go-to for shallow areas. For trout, the **Speckled Trout Magic Underspin** is delivering. If you want to throw artificial, green pumpkin and watermelon colors are your friends—adjust based on whether it's cloudy or sunny out there.

    For **live bait**, you can't beat fresh mullet and shrimp in these waters. Focus on the edges where grass transitions to open water—that's where the trout want to be, and where reds are hunting.

    **Two hot spots to hit**: First, the shallow flats around **Galveston Bay proper**—work those grass edges early and late. Second, head toward **Texas City** where the structure holds plenty of fish. Sunrise is at 7:10 AM and sunset at 5:52 PM, so get out early to maximize your time on the water.

    Get out there and tight lines! Thanks for tuning in to your daily fishing report. Make sure you **subscribe** so you don't miss tomorrow's update.

  • Galveston Bay Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Drum Biting Strong in January Calm
    Jan 25 2026
    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.

  • Texas Gulf Coast January Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, and Offshore Tuna Action
    Jan 24 2026
    Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Gulf of Mexico fishing ace right here in Texas. Comin' at ya live on this crisp January 24th mornin' at 8:25, let's break down the bite around Corpus Christi and the Texas coast.

    Tides are lookin' prime today per Tide-Forecast.com—low at 00:40 AM hittin' just 0.21 ft in Corpus, risin' steady through the day. Fish the incomin' around mid-mornin' when reds and trout stack up. Sunrise kicked off at 7:12 AM, sunset's 5:30 PM, givin' ya a solid 10-hour window. Weather's holdin' cool and calm, typical winter vibes—no big storms yet, but bundle up.

    Fish activity's heatin' up from yesterday's Corpus Christi report on Spreaker: speckled trout and reds are hammerin' topwater like Rapala Skitter V's early, plus big trout over 20 inches on the flats. Limits of reds in the 25-30 inch class, some slot trout pushin' 5-7 lbs. Sheepshead and black drum pilin' on structure too. Offshore, word's buzzin' on that monster tuna action, but inshore's where the numbers are.

    Best lures? Stick to shad-pattern crankbaits like Rapala DT-10 or Norman DD22 for bass and specks—crankin' deep around bridges did the trick in recent Bass Pro Tour stops. Flip green pumpkin soft plastics or bucktail jigs in 3/8-oz for grass lines. Live shrimp or mullet under a poppin' cork can't be beat for reds and trout—fresh Gulf shrimp's hot right now.

    Hit these hot spots: Portland rocks near Corpus for sheepshead bite, or head to Freeport jetties where tides swing 1.4 ft highs—trout school's thick there. Rig light, 20-lb fluoro, and work slow in this chill.

    Y'all stay safe out there, measure 'em twice, and release the big breeders.

  • Gulf Fishing Forecast: Tides, Solunar, and Hot Spots for Stripers, Drum, and More
    Jan 21 2026
    # Your Best Damn Fishing Report

    Alright y'all, this is Artificial Lure with your Gulf of Mexico fishing update, and let me tell you, we've got some solid conditions rolling in today.

    **Tides and Sun**

    Port Aransas is showing a high tide at 2:06 AM this morning with a low tide hitting around 10:44 AM. Over at Freeport, we're looking at decent solunar activity with a coefficient of 71—that's high activity, folks. Sunrise came in at 7:08 AM down in Galveston, and you're looking at sunset around 7:38 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours and 30 minutes of daylight to work with.

    **What's Biting**

    Here's where it gets interesting. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department records show Galveston Bay's been producing some serious fish. We're talking striped bass pushing 28 pounds, black drum over 50 pounds, and some gorgeous red drum hitting 44 pounds. More recently, spotted seatrout, sheepshead, and black drum have been putting up solid numbers. The junior anglers have been crushing it too—some impressive red drum and black drum catches just this past year.

    **Your Arsenal**

    For tackle, you want to think soft plastics and live bait. Drop-shot rigs with green pumpkin and goby-colored baits are working wonders right now. Berkley PowerBait and soft plastics rigged on light jig heads are solid choices. If you're throwing live bait, croaker, mullet, and live shrimp are your bread and butter for redfish and drum. Spinnerbaits like the Rocket Shad will cover water fast and get those aggressive strikes you're looking for.

    **Hot Spots**

    Hit up San Luis Pass—those shallow flats are cooking right now with the solunar activity peaking. Also check out the deeper structure near Alligator Point in West Bay. Both spots have been producing consistent catches throughout the season.

    Water's cooperating, the biting window is solid, and the fish are active. Get out there and make it happen.

  • Gulf Coast Fishing Update: Reds, Trout, and More Biting on the Texas Coast
    Jan 19 2026
    Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your Gulf Coast Texas fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the salty shores on this crisp January 19th, 2026, at 8:25 AM. Winter's grip is easin' off, and the bays are callin'—perfect time for some red-hot action.

    Tides today around West Bay and Galveston are lookin' prime: low at 1:35 PM around 0.6 ft, high mornin' at 6:14 AM hittin' 1.1 ft, and evenin' high at 7:07 PM pushin' 1.2 ft, per Tides4Fishing charts for Jamaica Beach. Fish the incomin' tide hard—solunar's high at 83, with peaks at sunrise 'bout 7:24 AM and sunset 'round 6:45 PM. Weather's mild, expectin' partly cloudy skies, temps in the low 60s, light northerlies—bundle up but the bite's on.

    Recent reports from Travel and Tour World and Islands.com got folks haulin' solid strings: speckled trout up to record sizes in Baffin Bay, reds and flounder thick, black drum and spotted trout hammerin' West Bay. Port Aransas piers lit up with snook, grouper, and reds from surf and Horace Caldwell Pier. Cobia and tripletail showin' early per The Fishing Wire studies—resident contingents huggin' the coast, tag 'em if you see researchers out there. Limits comin' quick on reds and trout last few days.

    Best lures? Go with 3/8-oz bucktail jigs in white or chartreuse for trout and reds—proven on Gulf spots. Bladed jigs in black/blue or Rat-L-Traps in red craw for aggressive bites. Live shrimp or mullet under a poppin' cork for bait—can't beat it for specks. Finesse with Z-Man TRD Ned rigs if they're finicky.

    Hot spots: Hit Baffin Bay for trophy trout sight-fishin' wadin' shallows, or West Bay near Galveston for reds in bayous and canals—baitfish schools are boilin'.

    Y'all stay safe, check regs, and wet a line!

  • Gulf Coast Texas Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, and Tide Times for January 18th
    Jan 18 2026
    # Gulf Coast Texas Fishing Report: January 18th

    Well, folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing update from the Texas Gulf Coast, and let me tell you—conditions are looking prime out there.

    Water temperatures are holding steady in the low 60s across our bays and nearshore waters, which means the fish are active and feeding. According to the latest reports from our Gulf Coast guides, redfish are absolutely biting right now. Anglers are connecting with plenty of reds in the surf, jetties, and bay-side canals. Speckled trout numbers are solid too, though not quite as hot as the reds—but don't sleep on them, especially around the old piers on the west side of Galveston Bay where they're stacking up.

    For your tide times today, here's what you need to know: Over in Texas City, we've got a low tide at 9:54 AM, then a high tide at 6:33 PM. Down at Port Bolivar, expect that low at 4:43 AM with highs at 9:19 AM and 2:02 PM. These tides are your friend—focus your efforts during those tide changes, especially on the outgoing water.

    When it comes to what's working, keep it simple. Finger mullet and mud minnows are crushing it right now—cast 'em in shallow to mid-depth structure and let the current work for you. If you're throwing artificials, that football jig is money in muddy water, and don't overlook a good spinnerbait either. For the trout, underspin baits with small minnow profiles are delivering solid results.

    Here's where I'd be fishing: Head to Bolivar if you can make the run—night fishing at the jetties is producing bull redfish, and daytime offers solid sheepshead action around heavy structure. If Galveston Bay is your play, focus those old piers on the west side for trout, and watch for birds working the water—when you see 'em diving, the bull reds are underneath feeding.

    Thanks for tuning in! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates, and get all your gear squared away before you leave the dock.

  • Gulf Coast Texas Fishing Update: Prime Conditions for Trout, Reds, and More on This Crisp January Morning
    Jan 17 2026
    Howdy, y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your Gulf Coast Texas fishin' guru, comin' atcha live from the salty shores on this crisp January 17th mornin'. Dawn broke at 7:13 AM CST here 'round Galveston, and we'll lose light at 5:44 PM sharp—Tide-Forecast.com's got it dialed in. Tides are playin' nice today: low at 8:08 AM sittin' at -0.86 feet, then high risin' to 1.83 feet by 4:36 PM. That outgoing low tide early means prime chasin' for trout and reds in the first light.

    Weather's holdin' steady—cool fronts pushin' through, but light winds and clear skies makin' for a solid day on the water. Fish are active post-front; yesterday's buzz from the Gulf Coast Texas Fishing Report says crappie, catfish, and bass are aboundin' in the bays and nearshore rigs. TPWD records show recent hauls like a 29-inch red drum on mullet Carolina rig, 42.5-inch black drum on Gulp shrimp, and solid speckled trout up to 29 inches hittin' soft plastics. Surf anglers report steady croaker, whiting, and gafftops on cut bait and shrimp, per that Best Damn Surf report.

    For lures, go finesse: Ned rigs with Z-Man TRD or clouser minnows for bass and trout in the grass lines—MLF pros swear by 'em for picky biters. Rage DB Craws pack coffee scent for catfish hangin' deep. Live shrimp, finger mullet, or croaker top the bait list—work 'em slow on the bottom for flounder and sheepshead, which been stackin' up lately.

    Hot spots? Hit Galveston Pleasure Pier for easy access to trout and reds on the tide shift, or run out to the nearshore rigs off High Island—tripletail and kings been poppin' on live shrimp. Stay safe, measure 'em, and release the big girls.
