Speckled trout in the Surf

[HR3]

Where on the coast can I wade fish for Speckled trout? I'm down in Houston/Galveston for a few days... I do NOT have access to a boat

Anywhere that has a beach.

In the surf, anywhere. Water temp is still a little cool for trout. 72° seems to be the magic temp for the time the surf turns on.

Texas city dike, mosquito island... first little oyster reef on the left about .5 mile down

Yeah, if you want to catch a flesh eating bacteria

Wrong time of year for the bacteria and in the surf isnt where it is usually contracted

Cool, any interior marsh I can hit?

Like said above. Tx City Dike. First reef when driving out on left side.

Do you wade that area?

Yes, I grew up wading that reef. Very easy to get to. You can see it from the Dyke road. Or at least that last time I went down there you could. Its been a while.

It is clearly seen in the current google maps image

Yep. I have in the past when i lived in the area. I would usually stay within 300 yards of dike

It's easy to find, look for all the people. It's well known. There's seaweed in the surf so trout are not far behind.

Please at least take a life jacket if you don’t want to wear it on that reef. Those rogue ship waves can be dangerous.

You can go to Offats around by the airport and wade the grass line. Or just east of the pier in Sea Isle. One more is Galveston Island State Park, you can wade the bay back there also.
