  • Résumé

  • Good morning anglers this is Artificial Lure with your Gulf of Mexico Texas fishing report for Friday May 2nd 2025. The sun rose at 6:39 AM and will set around 8:01 PM today giving everyone a nice long window on the water. With water temps running in the mid to high 70s most bays and nearshore areas are prime right now.

    Recent rains have pushed some fresh water into the bays and up the rivers but the east and coastal side of most bays remains salty and productive. Tidal activity is up riding two to four tide swings this week which always boosts fish movement and bite patterns. Cloudy skies and patchy rain are in the mix so check the latest updates before launching. Winds have been from the southeast bringing some good current flow especially in guts and channels.

    Fishing action has been strong across the Galveston complex down through Port Mansfield and into the Lower Laguna. Best reports are coming on speckled trout redfish and black drum. In Texas City anglers have been scoring daily on speckled trout and reds right from the dike and nearby wade spots. Sheepshead are tight to structure like piers and jetties. The occasional sand trout and croaker are mixed in and there have been some big gafftop and bull reds if you soak bigger baits.

    Live shrimp and finger mullet are the go to baits for trout and reds. Fresh caught shad is dynamite for catfish up the rivers and crab will tempt a big drum or bull red. Artificial lures are working too with soft plastics on light jigheads and topwaters producing at first light or on overcast mornings. Try a bone or chartreuse Super Spook for explosive trout action and switch to darker paddle tails once the sun is high.

    Hot spots to circle on your map today include the levee and dike at Texas City for a mixed bag wade the north shoreline of East Bay for trout and reds or hit the guts east of Port Mansfield where fresh and salty water meet and current is strong. Sabine Lake is putting out a fair catch though water is a bit off color. Redfish Bay is another good bet with steady action on trout and reds as temps hover around 76.

    Overall spring fishing is rolling strong in Texas and now is the time to get in on the action. Stay safe out there keep an eye on changing weather and tight lines from Artificial Lure.
