You can do some good fishing out of Galveston, or Corpus Christi.

I fish outta galveston alot. Me and my dad got a boat down there. While it is good fishing, and very convienient if you live in Houston which is only about a 45 minute drive, i would not recomend a trip all the way from the dakotas to fish there. I do recomend taking a look at the rockport or baffin bay area however. They catch some monster trout down there. I assume you are talking about speckled trout. Since you wanna catch some catfish there are inumberable places in Texas to do that.
A list of the saltwater species you can catch in Texas (anywhere on the gulf coast for that matter)
-speckled trout
-redfish
-flounder
-tarpon
-sharks (last weekend my dad and I caught a 150 lb blacktip, ive been wanting to post pics but the file is to big)
-many many different species offshore
Better times to fish the Texas coast.
Trout- Best during the spring
Redfish- Best during midsummer to late fall
What id really recomend is looking into florida. They have all kinds of great fishing there. Ive never been fishing there but I see it all the time on the outdoor channel. I do not know of them catching many speckled trout there though.
About bluefish, i think they are mostly found on the east coast so if you wanna catch them id look into somewhere there.
No Salt Water.
. If I wanted to plan a salt water fishing trip for just general species like Blue fish and trout. Where would be a good spot. Nothing ultra expensive since I am retires now and don't have a big income. I did a little fishing , surf fishing while in the Navy in CA. But in those days we had to party most of the time and didn't do nearly enough fishing. I know there is probably a jillion good places to fish but where would a guy start? I am mostly a Walleye and Northern fisherman being from up North. Devils Lake is a good fishing hole up this way. I would also like to do some catfishing. We have good channel cat fishing but not much for any other kind of cats.
