Was fun time on the Coast! We closed out this trip fishing the 61st Street Fishing Pier. We fished it in the day, then later at night, cutting the evening short due to rain. Did make it out to one of the little jetties along the beach to practice casting with the Switch Rod; did not get a bite but still good to get some practice in real beach conditions!

Back in the DFW Metroplex but sure did have a great time on the coast. Able to fish Surfside’s Jetty, Galveston’s Seawolf Park Pier, another Park in Galveston (but cannot recall the name), and the 61st Street Fishing Pier. Mainly caught and released fish, except for one Spanish Mackerel. Chillin’ and grillin’ now that we are back. Having the Spanish Mackerel along with Fajitas for dinner tonight. Will get a close out video to show how the action on the Pier went. Overall, it was a great round of fishing for the Team!   back from #galveston …chillin and #grilling #spanishmackeral #fajitas #poblanos …my life is good!

Had a blast on the Texas Gulf Coast last month. Fished Galveston and caught lots of fish including a 27 1/4″ Blacktip Shark from the 61st Fishing Pier! The shark fillets were tasty; even better, was able to “capture the moment” by re-visiting the Simple Fish Tail Mount  article to create a trophy of our shark! This time we added the jaws as well! Sure do miss the Coast already! Preparing the Mount What, where, and when! Every things in place…. Seaweed and shellac… Let it dry and it’s done!

Liking the live pier camera that the 61st Street Fishing Pier post on their website! Really would prefer to fish there again this weekend for more saltwater fishing as well as the chance at another Shark! powered by Ivideon

The Team had a great time in Galveston fishing the two piers – Galveston Fishing Pier and the 61st Street Fishing Pier, over the weekend. Had been to both piers in the past. Originally, planned to fish only one but then we learned the T-Head at the Galveston Fishing Pier opened earlier this year. First night we fished the Galveston Fishing Pier Friday evening from 9PM to 5AM Saturday morning. Bite was mainly Gafftopsail, Hardheads, Croaker, and Whiting for us. Did learn that others were catching Black Drum, Speckle Trout, and small Sharks. Then, we hopped up the road to the 61st Street Fishing Pier and fished from 8:30AM to 3PM Saturday. During that time, we caught more Gafftopsail, Hardheads, Croaker, and Whiting. Saw lots of Mullet schooling and saw the occasional Shark take a bite of one. Others hooked into a Bonnethead Shark and Blacktip Shark, and then we caught a Blacktip Shark, too! Things slowed down afterwards, so we took a break, then headed back to the 61st Street Fishi...
