あらすじ・解説
If you're heading out to fish in the Gulf of Mexico, Texas today, here's what you need to know:
First off, the weather is looking mild but with a chance of windy conditions later in the day. Water temperatures are around 66 degrees, which is perfect for catching a variety of species.
### Tides and Times
Today, January 10, 2025, the low tide in the Houston Ship Channel area is at 11:49 AM, and the high tide is at 9:22 PM. Sunrise is at 7:17 AM, and sunset is at 5:40 PM[2].
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been good, especially for redfish and speckled trout. In Galveston Bay, you can expect to catch black drum, sheepshead, and a few redfish. The upper Galveston bay is still good for these species, with a better bite on live shrimp. Deep shell reefs in West Galveston Bay are fair for those using soft plastics, and Chocolate Bay and Bayou are holding good numbers of trout, though many are undersized[1].
### Hot Spots
- **Cullen Channel**: This area has been plentiful for trout, especially when using live shrimp or under popping corks.
- **Old Causeway**: Sheepshead are biting well here.
- **Jetties and Brownsville Channel**: Mangrove snapper are excellent at these spots[1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For shallow flats, the Flats Buggs with double bunny tails or curl tails are highly recommended. These lures land softly and reduce snags, making them ideal for sight casting to redfish. For windier conditions, the curl tail variety is better[3].
Live shrimp have been producing a good bite, especially for black drum, sheepshead, and trout. Soft plastics are also working well in certain areas.
Stay safe out there, and enjoy your fishing trip
