  • Résumé

  • Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for Monday, April 21, 2025.

    Sunrise hit at 6:48 AM and sunset is expected at 7:56 PM, so you have a good stretch of daylight for chasing your favorite catches. We’re enjoying typical April weather along the coast with temperatures ranging from cool mornings in the upper 60s to highs around the mid-70s by afternoon. Winds have been up this week, which has dropped water levels a bit and pushed fish into deeper pockets. Water temperatures are holding steady in the low to mid-70s depending on your bay, with readings from 70 degrees in East Galveston Bay and South Padre to about 77 in Port Mansfield[1][5].

    Tidal movement today is moderate and paired with the winds, you’ll want to target color changes and structure with 2-3 feet of depth, especially near scattered grass and sand bottom where trout and redfish are staging[1].

    The bay systems are turning on right now. Good numbers of speckled trout are coming off the edge of the intercoastal around Three Islands, Gas Well Flats, and north of the causeway in the lower Laguna Madre and South Padre area. Redfish are thicker behind the islands and in similar flats. The south jetties are holding bull reds, and the end of Brownsville Channel is giving up excellent mangrove snapper, mixed in with black drum and sheepshead[1].

    East Galveston Bay has seen moderate clarity and trout are more active, especially near deeper holes and on the flats over shell. Redfish have been a bit scarce in the super skinny marshes, but you can still pick some up around the drains with patience[5].

    On the artificial side, Ball Tail Shads worked slow and steady along the bottom are catching both trout and reds in Port Mansfield. In Galveston Bay, light-colored imitation shrimp lures or Rat Tail soft plastics under popping corks, with a pop and slow reel retrieve, are producing the majority of strikes for trout and the occasional red[1][5]. Deadly Dudley Rat Tails, WacAttack Flukes, and any natural shrimp imitation are strong bait choices right now[5].

    If you’re looking for action hot spots, try the following:
    - Gas Well Flats and Three Islands area for trout and slot reds in South Padre/Port Isabel
    - The edge of intercoastal and north of the causeway for consistent trout bites
    - Flats over shell and deeper holes in East Galveston Bay for trout and a mixed bag, especially during incoming tide

    With the warming trend, fish activity should keep picking up in the days ahead. Good luck and tight lines from your local expert, Artificial Lure.
