Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
Texas City offers some excellent Spotted Seatrout action, particularly in the waters of Galveston Bay and its adjacent bayous. The key here is to pay close attention to seasonal forage patterns. During the spring shrimp run, trout will congregate near passes and channels where shrimp are abundant. In the fall, focus on areas with plentiful mullet. A natural presentation is almost always best – live shrimp under a popping cork or soft plastics that mimic local baitfish are deadly. Water clarity can vary greatly, so adjust your lure color accordingly. Remember to check the Texas City Dike for access points, but be aware that it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Also, keep an eye on water temperature; trout tend to move into deeper areas when the water gets too hot or cold.
