The fish Galveston anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Galveston is the upper Texas coast's fishing hub, where Galveston Bay — one of the most productive estuaries in the country — pumps out redfish, speckled trout and the famous fall flounder run as the fish stage to leave the bay through the passes. The jetties at the ship channel are a land-based staple for bull reds, sharks and sheepshead. The surf turns on for trout and reds when the green water moves in, and the nearshore rigs and wrecks add a Gulf option close to home.
