First Time Fishing - Galveston

[Cobra98]

Hey everyone. Hope all are having a good week.

I am going to fish Galveston for the first time with my new Baby Cat. Taking an old, 70+, friend with me.

I want to keep the trip simple and off the water by midday due to possible heat.

My best guess is to take him to greens lake and drift fish. Do you think this is a reasonable option for not knowing the area and having limited time on the water?

Good call

Drink plenty of water out there and have fun! My dad is 72 and if I have him out in the heat like it is now, I put an umbrella up in a rod holder. That little bit of shade makes a big difference for him.

Greens can be good, but is hit and miss as all areas are this time of year. Good luck out there!

greens can be good, but if you dont end up having any luck there run straight out of greens cut and go west (not in the intracoastal, right on the other side) and fish those grass flats, there is a big conrete thing on the shoreline there with a peninsula next to it...wade, drift or troll even with the peninsula (edge of the grassflat). I have had a lot of luck there with live shrimp, gulp, and a bunch of other plastics...good luck!

Thanks everyone. I am going to play it simple, popping corks with gulps. Just fun to take the boat out with friends.

Have a good weekend and leave some for us.
