Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
If you're looking to tangle with some speckled trout, Kemah, Texas, offers access to the productive waters of Galveston Bay. Success hinges on understanding seasonal forage patterns and water conditions. Spring and fall are generally considered prime times, as trout move into shallower waters to feed. Focus your efforts around oyster reefs, grass flats, and channel edges. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a local favorite, but don't overlook artificial lures like soft plastics and suspending twitch baits. Water clarity is crucial; look for cleaner water on incoming tides. A key tip: The area around the Kemah Boardwalk can be surprisingly productive, especially at night under the lights. Also, pay attention to wind direction, as it can heavily influence water clarity and trout behavior in the bay.
