This is all new to me, but I hope my experience helps you even a little bit. Here is a map showing where I caught my keepers: During that era, many bait camps dotted the landscape along the shores of Clear Lake and all along the Clear Creek Channel and Seabrook. Didn't get to explore it because there was a 6 foot swell that night that made staying in one spot quite difficult. Crabs galore along with a bountiful supply of speckled trout, redfish, croaker and pan fish all roamed the waters from the mouth of Clear Creek to the Seabrook and Kemah flats and beyond. I saw quite a few fish down there on that dropoff.

As you round the last corner before the ocean, it goes from ~23 ft to 8 ft in about 10 yards. Right on the other side of the railing there, I caught quite a few keeper reds and trout. Also, if you go all the way to the end to the right, there's a tower that takes people way up in the air. There are two gumball machines there on the boardwalk. If you're going East (towards the ocean), I had a lot of luck about half way down by a light. But as long as you're in the channel, you're fine. When you get to the end of the channel, in a large swell situation, it gets a little uncomfortable. I fished there in Kemah last weekend in my little 17' bass boat. I fish a 21 ft center console that is only 18 inches deep in the Galveston ship channel.It pitches and rolls, but as long as you let the anchor do it's job, bow into the waves, you will have no problems
