Me and mama made a trip out to see our son in Texas for his birthday. It is a nice break for me

Nice!! We're going to Galveston for my daughter's fall-break! Never been to a Texas beach before. Looking forward to it.
If you can, try to go in late Oct Nov after a few days of northerly winds. When the Gulf of America is green to the beach the sea trout and redfish bite can be rockin'. Ya gotta get in the water though usually out at the second or third sandbar, so don't keep bleeding fish on a stringer. The bull sharks like easy meals. Check the soulunar calendar. Also, the flounder migration is the bomb! Get a guide with a good flat bottom air driven flounder boat. It's the shizzle! I luv luv luv fishing the Texas coast October through April. F-summer! Good luck.

Had to plan this trip to coincide with my daughters 'Fall Break'…..so mid October it is.

I actually looked at a couple guide services online and they were both completely booked for the days we'd be there. I figured the others would be, too so I gave up on that idea. 🤷‍♂️

We probably won't go past the knee deep point for this VERY reason. 🤣 I'm also hoping that a late season hurricane won't be a factor. 😁

Caught on Jamaica Beach, belly deep water in late November. Hook set yanked the rod out of my hands. It was like setting the hook into a stump. This pic was 30 minutes later. 51" Texas redfish. Landed on medium weight bay fishing tackle, 20lb braided line with a rod length of 30 lb nylon shock leader.

I spent 8 years in Texas, little over 3 years in the Clearlake area across from the NASA Space Center. If you have time on your Galveston trip stop in an check it out. I was in my 20's back then, we visited Galveston a lot.
That was in the 80's.
Have Fun. 👍
