Fishing Forecast

RAIN WILL PLAY a role in the weekend’s fishing forecast, with the hardest expected to
be in the Galveston Bay area on Saturday. If you can avoid the wet stuff, hit Texas
City’s Moses Lake, where redfish and sand trout are running well, along with Trinity
Bay, where the spillway is favorable for croaker.
Bolivar: Trout are fair on the south shoreline on topwaters and soft plastics. Trout, sand
trout and croakers are fair to good at Rollover Pass on live bait.
Trinity Bay: Trout are fair for drifters working deep shell pads on Gamblers, Lil’ Johns
and Bass Assassins. Trout, redfish and croaker are fair at the spillway on live bait.
