Galveston Island in Texas is well known for its fishing. The Galveston Bay Complex is the largest estuary on the Texas gulf coast. Speckled trout is the number one game fish that is targeted in the inshore bays. Over this past winter all the oyster reefs thought the Galveston Bay Complex were closed to commercial fishermen. This should be an exceptional year for all fishing, but the speckled trout make their living feeding on shell and oyster reefs. That's why I'm looking for a stand out year for catching specks.
