Artificial Lure with your Gulf of Mexico, Texas fishing report for Sunday, September 14, 2025. It’s just after sunrise, with a golden sky and a light southeast breeze, temps starting near 77 degrees and climbing to the mid-80s by afternoon—classic late-summer Texas Coast conditions. The barometer’s steady, humidity’s thick, and the water’s got that rich green tint that promises a lively bite.
For folks fishing around Texas City, today’s high tide crested about 3:30 AM at 1.86 feet, with a sharp drop to low tide at 5:26 PM dipping slightly below sea level. Expect a soft current through midday. Sunrise hit at 7:03 and sunset will land tonight at 7:25, making for nearly equal fishing windows at dawn and dusk. That falling tide this evening should light up the action, especially for inshore predators according to the latest Texas tide and solunar charts.
Out on the water, bull reds and speckled trout remain the stars of September. The “Gulf of Mexico, Texas Daily Fishing Report” notes strong catches for trout and reds up and down the coast—plenty of slot reds on live finger mullet under popping corks, and trout busting shrimp and soft plastics over grass and shell near drop-offs. Spanish mackerel are still showing in decent numbers, mostly near jetties and deeper passes, nailing silver spoons and fast-ripped Got-Cha plugs. Latest word around Freeport also mentions some hefty ladyfish and occasional lookdown fish, plus the usual run of sand trout for those bottom bouncing shrimp-tipped jigs.
Big news down south: just last week off South Padre, a local angler landed a 14-foot, 5-inch hammerhead shark, tagging and releasing the giant after an hour-long fight. While the big sharks are typically out past the first gut, they’re a thrilling sign for surf and kayak anglers lobbing fresh-cut bait or big Yozuri Hardbaits off the second bar. Tag and release is the norm for these giants—tight lines and good conservation ethics matter.
For hot spots today, you can’t go wrong launching out of Galveston’s North Jetty for mixed bags of reds, sheepshead, and drum, especially on that falling evening tide. East Matagorda Bay has been consistently productive for specks just after sunrise—wade the knee-to-thigh deep sand pockets and toss Corkys or Down South Lures in Morning Glory or Chicken of the C colors. Those chasing sharks or bigger game are finding the best runs at the Padre Island National Seashore or Beach Access 5, using robust gear and chunking fresh bait.
Best lures for the week? According to Discount Tackle and The Hook Up Tackle, fall frogging is starting up slow, but savvy folks are scoring bass and inshore reds on hollow-body frogs and popping frogs around reed beds. Z-Man Trout Tricks, MirrOlure MirrOdines in silver/chartreuse, and ¼-ounce jigheads with Gulp! shrimp remain top picks. For those soaking bait, live shrimp and finger mullet are still kings, while cut mullet or menhaden get the attention of big reds and even the occasional blacktip shark.
Remember to bring heavy braid if you’re working docks or thick grass, and keep an eye on those scattered showers forecast for late afternoon. Water clarity is best midcoast, a little churned near the river mouths after recent rain, but still fishable.
That’s your Sunday Gulf Coast fishing fix. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the latest bite updates, tackle tips, and local intel. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
