Captain’s Weekly Report
What’s Biting (Trinity Bay)
A mix of speckled trout, redfish, flounder, black drum, and sheepshead are being caught across the bay, with anglers reporting good action on shrimp and soft plastics.
Trout and reds are showing up near structure, oyster reefs, and shallow flats where baitfish are present. Black drum and sheepshead continue to respond well around pilings and deeper structure with live or imitation shrimp.
Flounder remain steady near drop-offs and channel edges — slow, subtle retrieves are producing bites.
Tips & Tricks for Cooler Weather Fishing
Slow down your presentation — fish are less aggressive in colder water.
Focus on deeper water early; move shallow as the sun warms things up.
Fish later in the morning or early afternoon for the best bite.
Use darker or natural-colored lures for better visibility.
Target wind-protected shorelines where water temps stay slightly warmer.
Dress in layers and stay comfortable to fish longer and more effectively.
Whether you’re after a quick half-day run or a full-day adventure, there’s no shortage of action this week. Book your trip with Captain David and get in on the bite!
