This week's fishing report is provided by Mark Gonzales. Check out his IG at @3rdcoastanglers. This report is for the Upper Galveston Bay area.

Stay tuned each week for more fishing reports along the Texas coast. Color Recommendations: Flex Mullet "Dirty Dorado" Flex Mullet "Dorado" Flex Mullet "Bayou Magic" Q-Tail "Lucky Croaker"
