Spanish Mackerel
Nassau Bay's proximity to Galveston Bay puts you in prime position for some exciting Spanish mackerel fishing. These fast-moving predators are a blast to catch, especially during the warmer months from late spring through early fall. Look for them near the jetties, around the entrance to Galveston Bay, and near any structure holding baitfish. Trolling spoons or casting small, shiny lures are effective methods. Be prepared for blistering runs and acrobatic jumps! A key tip: Spanish mackerel are often found in schools, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. The waters around the Houston Yacht Club and the Clear Lake Channel are popular starting points. Be mindful of other boat traffic and always check the marine forecast before heading out, as conditions can change quickly in the bay.
