Howdy everyone. I found this thread several months ago. Read through is as I could. I'm headed to Galveston on Saturday, July 10th. High tide at the Pleasure Pier is predicted for 6:06am with the low predicted for 10:08pm. I'll be there with my family and my sister-in-laws family. I wish I could plan something specific (I cannot guarantee I'll actually get to do any collecting). I think I'll be out there around 10-10:30pm. I suppose I'll try across from Academy. Not looking for much. Half dozen peppermints, a bleeny or two, and maybe a couple of nems. IDK, whatever I can find in 20 mins or so. Bucket, dip net, and bright lights. Wish me luck.
You’ll be able to find Blenny’s and anemones for sure. Peps are hit and miss. Clear water, Flat surf, and Light winds really make all the difference. If you go on the wrong day it really sucks especially if you’ve never done it before. You’ll get caught off guard with the rough surf, wind, and cloudy water. Makes it really difficult unless you’ve got in there before and kinda know the area.
