Tim - Look at Surfside Beach on the other side of San Luis Pass from Galveston. Rent you a beach house over there. You'll thank me for the advice. Personally, I won't ever step foot on Galveston island or spend a penny of my hard-earned money there.

Dink....if the hotels are all booked up check out VRBO.com for that area. When i lived in Galveston....we used to rent beach houses down in Pirates and Jamaica Beach for weekend partys and what not. Another great recommendation for the fam would be a dinner cruise on the Colonel Paddlewheeler ....which is too part of Moody Gardens....or maybe take a day w/ the fam to Kemah boardwalk....a quick drive off the island...for some good entertainment/eats. In the summertime..Thursday nights if i recall correctly.. they have "Rock the Dock" and that was always a blast (live music/firworks etc). As far as offshore fishing....I can't recall the guide we use to book..(i'll try to dig it up) but if you ...lol>>>go on 2cool.....those guys would know in a heartbeat...who to take....and i don't care what W says...
 ...the fishing is really good there (in and offshore). Hope this helps a tad...

Welcome . . . .
Just like "teamTTF" said, if there is any way we can help on this side of the river, let us know
If you need information about T-Bend, Sabine Lake, and a little about Trinity Bay, PM me . . . .I'd more than willing to share what I have . . . . I know that the group we get from this site is way better than what the gov't sent after Katrina . . . . half those are still guests in our correctional facilities. You are welcome and we'll do our best to accomodate you!

I 2nd Galveston Island for things to do rather than just fishing.
If you want to fish G'ton, the surf ought to be on if the conditions are calm. Any of the small jetty structures on the Seawall called "rock groins" are good or go furthur west toward the State Park or San Luis Pass or go east and cross the ferry to Bolivar Peninsula for less crowded wade/surf fishing. No fishing license needed if you fish the State Park grounds and pay the small fee. Bay fishing spots are more frequent toward the west side of G'ton. Sportsman Road, bay side of San Luis Pass and behind the State Park have some wading access. Look for White flags at Bait shops for live shrimp and Yellow flags for live croakers. Not much different fishing the surf in Galveston than in Grand Isle. Use the same techniques and bait/lures. My brother has a beach house in Grand isle rented out for the same week. I told him if he cancels, to bring his family over here. Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, The Duck Boat, shopping on The Strand or a fishing trip on a head boat are all good activities to keep the kids occupied. There are several chain hotels. Just do a search and you should come up with some options. San Luis, Hotel Galvez, and Hilton are the higher end options that I have stayed at and are really nice. I also have a trip scheduled to Grand Isle in July for about 5 days doing an offshore charter and some surf/inshore fishing and it's not looking good if things are status quo w/ the oil slick. I'm keeping my fingers croseed that can get it stopped and contained so it doesn' t come even further west.

Tim, give me a call. Got something you might be interested in.
Oh and BTW, my comment had nothing to do with the (usual very courteous) popo in Galveston, just the crooked politicians and the way they spit in the face of the Texas law that states all beaches are public property. See texasopenbeaches.org for more info. I'm a long-time supporter, so I won't go to GI until they adhere to the law and stop screwing fishermen and beachgoers out of their lawful beach access.

I'm fishing in Surfside on Wednesday. I'll put up a report if i go. Winds look a little iffy, but I gotta go to scratch my itch.
The trout should be in the surf if it is flat and trout green. Live bait, tops, plastics for trout and Spanish macs and cut bait for Bull reds and sharks. Dead bait shrimp for pan fish that are desirable and undesirable species like hard heads. Go toward the west end of the island away from the tourists past the Seawall. Look for beach accesses along the way. Fish the surf like you would in G.I. Good Luck!!
