05/23/2021 Galveston Island State Park

Post by ToolB »

Ran down to GISP last weekend. It was supposed to be horrible weather, but twice now once I got out of the truck.. not a drop till I got back in. Blessed.

What was cool is park was flooded due to the heavy SE winds. I could have kayaked the walking trails.

Launched and paddled and waded in the highlighted spots.

Super action on baitfish everywhere around me. Brought live shrimp, been a while, which yielded me 2 hardheads. The remainder of the shrimp went to some other younger anglers that probably have more patience.
No reds or trouts, one really nice flounder on 3 inch ping tail shad, not a bite on new penny shrimp think a lady fish tore up one. So not a complete skunking.

FAR from success but had a blast either way.

Thanks to the last guys that suggested a drift sock, made all the difference.

Need to find somewhere I can hook up with a nice red!

Thanks for the report! I fished there the next day on 5/24 and although it was slow, I did catch a PB flounder of 22” using a small white and green paddletail. However, that was one fish for 4 hours of work. I came across a good sized alligator hunting 1/2 mile offshore which was disturbing, Probably the salinity is low due to all the run-off. Lately I have been launching by Lake Como.
