Flounder
Galveston's shallow bays and backwaters are prime habitat for flounder, making it a popular destination for anglers. The fall flounder run is legendary, as these fish migrate towards the Gulf to spawn. Focus your efforts around the mouths of bayous, near jetties, and along the edges of channels where flounder ambush prey. Live shrimp or mud minnows on a Carolina rig or jighead are effective, but many anglers have success with artificial lures like soft plastics that mimic baitfish. A local tip: wade fishing the flats on an outgoing tide can be incredibly productive. Pay attention to the wind; a slight breeze can create ideal conditions for flounder fishing. Be mindful of the regulations, as flounder limits and seasons can change to protect the population.
