Gulf of Mexico, Texas Fishing Report Today

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

Sunrise hit at 6:19 AM and sunset’s coming up at 8:19 PM, giving us a solid 14 hours of daylight to work those lines. The tidal coefficient is sitting around 61 today—average, but with enough movement to keep bait and predators active, especially with high tide rolling through Galveston Pier 21 just after sunrise and another bump expected close to sunset. Currents are running steady, pushing baitfish up into channels, drains, and along those jetty edges, so focus your efforts on these transitions for best results. Water temps are right at 80 degrees, and the weather is classic June: hot, lightly breezy, and mostly clear—perfect for both the morning wade and evening jetty push.

Fishing’s been hot all across the region. According to the latest Texas Parks and Wildlife update, Redfish Bay has been on fire, with solid numbers of speckled trout stacked up in about 4 feet of water, feeding hard on live croaker. Over in Texas City, it’s a mixed bag: anglers are reporting limits on speckled trout, healthy slot redfish, black drum, plus bonus sand trout and gafftop. The sheepshead bite is steady around structure and piers—shrimp under a popping cork is money, especially early or late in the day, while finger mullet has been pulling in some of the bigger reds along the Dike and marsh drains.

Favorite lures right now include 4-inch paddle tails in white or chartreuse on a quarter-ounce jig head, especially when the water gets a little stained. Topwaters like the Super Spook Jr. in bone or chrome have been crushing fish during the first hour after sunrise. If you’re looking to put some meat in the box, nothing’s beating live croaker for trout, and for those chasing drum or sheepshead, fresh shrimp is the top choice. Wade anglers, focus on the shallows early, then move deeper as the sun climbs.

The Bolivar Peninsula and East Galveston Bay have excellent water clarity this week; the redfish bite has been strong on both shrimp and soft plastics, especially on the falling tide. Look for scattered trout along the grass lines and shell points, and don’t sleep on the occasional flounder hiding in those sandy pockets.

Hot spots today are the Texas City Dike—wading anywhere along the levee is producing—and the south shoreline of East Galveston Bay near Hanna’s Reef, where trout and reds are coming in good numbers. Redfish Bay, especially around the spoil islands and grass flats, is a must-hit if you’re heading further south.

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for Sunday, June 15, 2025.

Sunrise this morning was at 6:20 a.m., and you can expect sunset at 8:23 p.m. Tides are friendly for inshore action, with a low tide at 6:20 a.m. and a high tide rolling in at 3:28 p.m., perfect timing for afternoon bite windows. Water temperatures across the upper and middle coast are hovering right around 80 degrees.

Weather today is mostly sunny with a few clouds—ideal for a full day on the water. Expect rising tides through the day, which are bringing up bait and activating the inshore bite according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly report.

The fishing has been hot, especially in Redfish Bay and around Texas City. Anglers are reporting strong numbers of speckled trout and redfish, with some solid black drum mixed in. Gafftop, sand trout, and croaker are also showing up in good numbers. Sheepshead are sticking tight to structures and piers—wade fishing along the levee and from the dike remains a productive method. Live shrimp and finger mullet are your best bets for bait, with croaker taking the spotlight for speckled trout over shell in about 4 feet of water. If you’re throwing artificial, soft plastics in natural colors and topwater plugs early have both been getting strong hits.

Over in East Galveston Bay, clarity is still holding up nicely, and the redfish bite has been excellent. For those sticking close to the surf, Spanish mackerel and the occasional king mackerel are showing up for folks casting silver spoons and Gotcha plugs according to Captain Experiences’ recent reports. Offshore, vermillion and mangrove snappers, groupers, and blackfin tuna have been coming over the rails for those running out a bit deeper. Fresh cut bait and squid are working best for snapper and grouper.

Two of the top local hotspots this week:

- Texas City Dike: Steady action for speckled trout, solid redfish, and sheepshead near the rocks and piers—try live shrimp under a popping cork.

- Redfish Bay Flats: Drift fishing with croaker or paddle-tail plastics is still the ticket for slot reds and larger trout. Focus on the incoming tide—bait movement really triggers the bite.

If you’re looking for some variety, the Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay structure are holding black drum, sheepshead, and the occasional flounder. Remember to always check the latest local regulations and wear your kill switch.

Howdy folks It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to bring you the latest fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. Today, Saturday, June 14, 2025, is shaping up to be a fantastic day to hit the water.

Sunrise was at 6:19 AM, and we're looking at a beautiful day with plenty of sunlight; sunset will be at 8:19 PM. The weather is typical for this time of year—mostly sunny with a light breeze. Water temperatures are hovering around 80 degrees, which is perfect for both bay and surf fishing.

Tides are strong today, with a high tide expected around 8:01 AM at Galveston. This tidal action is pushing baitfish into the channels and drains, making it ideal for catching trout and redfish. The tidal coefficient is around 69, indicating moderate currents, which should help keep the fish active.

Recently, anglers have been doing well in Redfish Bay, where speckled trout are stacked up in about 4 feet of water, hammering live croaker. Texas City has been a mixed bag, with slot redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and occasional sand trout and gafftop being caught. Sheepshead are holding around structures and piers, and live shrimp under a popping cork has been the go-to bait.

In Freeport, surf fishing has been good, with trout and redfish biting on live shrimp and croakers. The jetties have been productive for a variety of species including trout, sheepshead, redfish, and even some sharks.

For your fishing trip today, consider heading to Redfish Bay or Texas City. Use live bait like croaker or shrimp, and don't forget to try your luck with some artificial lures like grubs or soft plastics. If you're wade fishing, the Texas City Dike has been particularly productive.

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, June 14, 2025, Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report.

Sunrise hit at 6:19 AM and we’ll see the sun set at 8:20 PM tonight, so there’s plenty of daylight to take advantage of those strong bites. The tidal swing is healthy today with a tidal coefficient hovering right around 69—average but still enough to get things moving. High tide rolled through Galveston Pier 21 just after sunrise and another is expected close to 8 PM, while Texas City’s tides are running a similar pattern. These moving tides are pushing bait up into drains, edges, and shallows, drawing in trout and redfish hungry for an easy meal. According to Tides4Fishing, Texas City’s tidal amplitude is giving us just the right mojo for predatory action all day long.

Weather’s typical for Texas in June: water temps are right at 80 degrees, skies mostly clear, and there’s a pleasant breeze sweeping across the bays. That means comfortable conditions for both bay and surf anglers, especially if you’re out in the morning or after dinner.

Here’s what’s biting: Redfish Bay is seeing excellent speckled trout action in about four feet of water, especially on croaker, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife. Texas City and the surrounding dikes are loaded up with slot reds, solid trout, and black drum, with bonus sand trout, gafftop, and croakers mixed in. Piers and structure are hot zones for sheepshead—try a shrimp under a popping cork or get tight to the pilings for a hook-up.

Best baits this week have been live shrimp and finger mullet, but croaker is king if you’re targeting those bigger trout in deeper edges. If you’re working artificials, soft plastics in natural colors and paddle tails have been getting steady results, especially for waders in Freeport and along the Bolivar Peninsula. The topwater bite has also been good during the low-light hours, with plenty of reds crushing surface plugs near grass edges and drains. Offshore, the action’s heating up for king mackerel, mahi-mahi, and tuna, as reported by Amelia Fish Bites.

For hot spots, don’t miss the Texas City Dike—wading anywhere from the front to the back has been productive all week. The Freeport Jetties are producing a mixed bag including mangrove snapper, sheepshead, redfish, and even a few Spanish mackerel and pompano for those chunking live shrimp or light artificials.

That’s your rundown for June 14. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to guide for all things fishing on the Gulf of Mexico, Texas. Today, Saturday, June 14, 2025, we're looking at some fantastic conditions for reeling in those big ones.

First off, let's talk about the weather. It's classic Texas June: warm with mostly sunny skies and a light breeze. Water temperatures are hovering around 80 degrees, which is perfect for both bay and surf fishing. The long days we're getting right now mean we've got plenty of daylight to get out there and wet a line—nearly 14 hours from sunrise to sunset, with sunrise today at 6:19 AM and sunset at 8:19 PM.

Now, let's dive into the tides. The tidal coefficient is average today, meaning we'll see some strong currents, especially around jetties and passes. High tide is expected around 8:01 AM at Galveston Pleasure Pier, which will push baitfish into prime feeding areas for predators like trout and redfish. In Texas City, we're seeing a mix of tides, with high and low tides happening twice daily, which is great for wade fishing along the levee or dike.

Speaking of fish activity, Redfish Bay is on fire right now. Speckled trout are stacked up in about 4 feet of water, hammering live croaker. Texas City's been delivering a mixed bag: slot redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and some occasional sand trout and gafftop. Sheepshead are holding tight around structures and piers—a shrimp under a popping cork near pilings will do the trick. Live shrimp and finger mullet have been the baits of choice all week.

Freeport's surf has been good, especially with the winds laying down in the morning. Anglers are using live shrimp or croakers with chatter weights for trout and redfish. West of Galveston, trout fishing under the birds with live shrimp under a popping cork has been productive.

For those looking for hot spots, Redfish Bay and Texas City are definitely worth a visit. Try wading along the Texas City Dike or fishing near structures in Redfish Bay for some great catches.

Artificial Lure here with your Texas Gulf Coast fishing report for Saturday, June 14, 202

This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Good morning, anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your up-to-date Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for Friday, June 13, 2025.

Today’s fishing conditions are shaping up nicely across the upper Texas coast. Sunrise hit at 6:20 AM and we’ll have solid daylight until sunset at 8:22 PM. Over in Galveston and along the Houston Ship Channel, we’re seeing a low tide early at 4:47 AM and high tide rolling in at 2:38 PM. These tidal swings will keep the fish on the move, especially with water temps hovering right around 80 degrees according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Weather’s a bit cloudy this morning but looks to be clearing up with plenty of sun by the weekend—a perfect recipe for an active bite. Wind is steady but manageable, leaving surf conditions prime for wade and pier fishing.

Fish activity’s been strong with tide levels on the rise, especially around Redfish Bay and Texas City. Captains and local guides report excellent catches of speckled trout, redfish, and black drum, plus sand trout, gafftop, and the occasional croaker. Sheepshead are hanging around piers and hard structure, while jetties are also holding pompano, Spanish mackerel, jack crevalle, and a few sharks—so don’t forget your heavier tackle.

Best baits right now? Live shrimp and finger mullet are the top producers, especially for trout and redfish. For artificial fans, topwaters at first light and soft plastics, like paddletails or shrimp imitations, are working wonders in the first gut of the surf and over shell or grass flats. If you prefer hardware, give chatter weights a throw for trout in the surf or under birds west of Galveston.

Recent catches have been impressive: guides in Freeport and Texas City are boating solid numbers of mangrove snapper, trout, sheepshead, pompano, and even some beefy sand trout. Wade anglers along the levee and at the Texas City Dike are also finding action all day long.

A couple of hot spots to check out:

- Redfish Bay: Productive for trout and reds, especially drifting shell areas with live croaker or plastics.

- Texas City Dike and North Jetty: Consistent multi-species action and easy access for both boaters and shore anglers.

That’s the latest scoop from the Gulf this morning. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s daily Texas fishing report. Don’t forget to subscribe for tomorrow’s updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Texas fishing report for Friday, June 13, 2025.

Sunrise was at 6:19 AM and sunset will be at 8:19 PM up and down the coast, giving us almost 14 hours of daylight to wet a line. We’ve got a tidal coefficient of 71 today, so currents are running strong, and high tide hit Galveston Pier 21 just after sunrise, with another high expected around 8 PM. Conditions like this push baitfish up into drains and channel edges—perfect for anglers chasing trout and redfish. Down in Freeport, similar tidal swings mean look for strong movement around passes and jetties throughout the morning and evening.

Weather-wise, it’s classic Texas June: water temps are hovering around 80 degrees, with mostly sunny skies and a light breeze. That’s translating into ideal action for both bay and surf fishing, especially early before the sun gets high.

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife report, Redfish Bay is hot—speckled trout are stacked up in about 4 feet of water, hammering live croaker. Texas City’s been all about the mixed bag: lots of slot redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and a steady run of sand trout and gafftop. Sheepshead are holding tight around structure and piers—a shrimp under a popping cork near pilings will do the trick. Captain Shane Rilat at North Jetty Bait Camp says live shrimp and finger mullet have been the baits of choice all week, and wade fishing along the Texas City Dike has been productive from end to end.

For those throwing artificials, topwater plugs just after dawn and soft plastics—especially paddle tails in chartreuse or new penny—are putting fish in the box. In Freeport, the surf bite for trout and slot reds is good, especially with live shrimp or croaker on a chatter weight. Around the jetties and surfside, anglers are catching trout, redfish, sheepshead, pompano, Spanish mackerel—even a few small sharks.

If you’re hunting a honey hole, I’d start at the Texas City Dike—just walk out and fish the drop-offs along the levee, or post up near the rocks with live bait. East Galveston Bay is another solid bet—water clarity is excellent and the redfish bite has been strong on outgoing tides. For a change of pace, Freeport Harbor is stacked with mangrove snapper, trout, and big sand trout, mostly on shrimp with a light weight.

Remember, as these summer patterns lock in, target deeper structure late morning, and work the shallow flats and guts at sunrise and sunset for your best action.

That’s it for today’s roundup—thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Artificial Lure here with your June 11, 2025, Gulf of Mexico Texas coast fishing report.

Sunrise hit at 6:19 this morning and we’ll see plenty of daylight until sunset at 8:19 pm. Over in Galveston, high tide rolled in at 7:11 am and we’re looking at a late low tide tonight just before 11 pm. The tidal coefficient is up at 71, so we’re working with some serious water movement—prime conditions for baitfish activity and ambush predators. Get on the water early and you’ll catch that prime bite as the sun lifts over the bay.

Weather today’s shaping up fair and breezy, with mostly sunny skies and mild to moderate winds. That’s keeping the water clarity looking pretty good, especially in places like East Galveston Bay. On the Bolivar Peninsula, recent reports are showing solid visibility throughout the bay system. That clarity is helping push the fish up into predictable areas—a real advantage for both bait soakers and lure chunkers.

Hot bites this week have been redfish, speckled trout, and a scattering of Spanish mackerel in the bays. According to Captain Chad Kinney’s update, the Lower Coast is still red-hot, especially early in the day and late in the evening. Texas Parks and Wildlife and local podcasts out of Texas City say Redfish Bay and Texas City are both stacked with slot reds, and the trout action’s heating up nicely. Mangrove snapper, vermillion snapper, grouper, and even a few king mackerel and blackfin tuna are being caught by the nearshore and offshore anglers.

If you’re looking for a big haul, top spots right now include:

- Texas City Dike, where redfish and trout are biting well around the structure and the current breaks.

- East Galveston Bay, particularly the reefs and channel edges—wade out in the morning with a topwater walk-the-dog plug or a soft plastic in opening night or chartreuse.

- If you want to get after snapper and kings, head to the closer rigs off Bolivar or out of Freeport—livies or dead menhaden are working, but a big silver spoon will get hit if the bait’s up high.

Best baits this week are live shrimp under a popping cork for trout and redfish, or if you’re throwing artificials, soft plastics like Down South Lures in glow or chicken-on-a-chain. If you’re working the surf or channels, try a gold spoon or a MirrOlure for mackerel. For offshore snapper, squid and cigar minnows are doing damage, but nothing beats a frisky live bait on a circle hook.

Fish activity peaks early and late—the midday lull is real, especially as water temps climb. Plan to hit the water at dawn or stay for the sunset bite for your best shot at numbers and quality.

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for June 11, 2025.

The weather’s sitting warm and humid this morning, with water temps in the 80s and just enough breeze to keep the skeeters away. We’re seeing mostly sunny skies by late morning, and you can expect the sun to hang around until sunset at 8:18pm. Sunrise kicked off early at 6:19am. Tides today are favorable for active fish—high tide rolled in right around 6:00am, and expect the low to bottom out near 10:00pm, so you’ve got prime movement through the early and late hours. According to Tides4Fishing and Tide-Forecast, tidal coefficients are in the mid-60s, giving us decent current for both live bait and artificial presentations.

Now, for the bite: it’s been a banner week for speckled trout, especially in Redfish Bay and around Texas City. Croaker has been the star for big trout in about 4 feet of water. If you’re after reds, look to the Bolivar Peninsula and marsh cuts during moving tides. Wade fishermen are finding success all along the Texas City Dike, from start to finish, with redfish, trout, and some solid black drum, plus sand trout, gafftop, and croaker mixed in. Sheepshead are around piers and jetties, hanging tight to structure and easy pickings if you’ve got live shrimp or fiddler crabs ready to go. According to Captain Shane Rilat with North Jetty Bait Camp, live shrimp and finger mullet have been unbeatable this week, especially for trout, reds, and the occasional drum.

For you lure folks, this is prime time for soft plastics on a light jighead—chartreuse or electric chicken has been the ticket. Early morning, try topwaters like a Super Spook Jr. around grass flats and drop-offs, especially near East Galveston Bay, where water clarity is excellent. If you’re working deeper midday, switch to paddle tails or twitch baits, and slow your retrieve as the sun climbs.

Bigger offshore hauls have included Spanish mackerel, vermillion and mangrove snapper, and even the odd blackfin tuna and king mackerel, according to Captain Experiences’ latest angler logs.

Hot spots you shouldn’t miss today: the Texas City Dike levee, all the way down for wading or bank fishing; East Galveston Bay for kayak or boat anglers looking for clean water and good numbers; and Redfish Bay, where the trout bite is still on fire with croaker or live shrimp.

Remember, fish will be most active around that higher water tonight, so plan an evening run if you can handle the mosquitoes. That’s all for today’s fishing scoop.
