The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:30 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

Tide Coefficient at 02:46 am is 144
For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Cooling water and bait pushes make October a prime month around Galveston. The beachfront and jetties are seeing the annual bull red run, with fresh mullet or cut bait soaking on the bottom producing steady drag-screams. In the bays, speckled trout are working over shell and drains at first light, especially on a slight north wind after a front. Look for slicks and birds to find schoolies.

Flounder are staging along marsh drains, bayou mouths, and ferry/ship channel edges on a falling tide; slow-roll soft plastics or work live mud minnows. The surf turns on when the water is “green to the beach,” with Spanish mackerel and slot reds hitting spoons and swimbaits. Deeper channels hold black drum on shrimp or crabs.

Go-to offerings: live shrimp under a popping cork for mixed bites; soft plastics in glow/chartreuse; silver spoons for macks; topwaters at dawn on calm mornings. Best windows are pre-front afternoons and the day after a norther when tides are moving.

Top Tip: After a front, start on windward shorelines where bait stacks, then slide to leeward as the sun warms—follow the birds and keep both live bait and a fast-moving spoon ready.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Galveston area

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 22 beaches and bays in this area.

Greens Bayou - 4.92855752451km , East Beach - 5.01086170457km , Offatts Bayou - 5.99715327758km , Sydnor Bayou - 7.58069317877km , Campeche Lake - 8.77126174581km , Campbell Bayou - 10.6556390783km , Gangs Bayou - 11.9309029176km , Ganas Bayou - 11.9309029176km , Jones Bay - 11.99071748364km , Beacon Bayou - 12.84047994784km , Oxen Bayou - 12.87740039102km , Beacon Bayou - 13.30842045868km , Highland Bayou - 13.68296453613km , West Beach - 14.00479503751km , Mentzel Bayou - 14.29177587683km , Basford Bayou - 14.5444637837km , West Bay - 15.6010080402km , Bermuda Beach - 15.6939367493km , Eckert Bayou - 15.75447327299km , Bolivar Beach - 15.88729427761km , Johnson Bayou - 16.15597567718km , Johnson Bayou - 16.39408517744km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 6 main harbours in this area.
