www.kemahescape.com - very nice place and reasonable

close to several launches and convenient. there are two TP&W launches underneath the kemah bridge.

And two bait places within a couple hundred yards on the channel either side of the bridge.
If those two don't have bait Eagle Point Camp is about a seven mile run in the boat from Kemah.

thanks u guys i have never been to kehma before--- how far is the launches to hannas reef-- or is kehma even near east bay or how far is it????

My recommendation would be to go down to Academy Sports and Outdoors and pick up a Hot Spots map. Those are very detailed and show you a lot of good fishing spots as well as all marinas and/or boat ramps. I'm pretty sure they will have a map specifically for the Galveston Bay system to include East, West, and Trinity bays. The map won't show sleeping accomodations, but it will show where the closest boat ramp and/or marina is located in relation to where you plan on staying. Good Luck

About 10 miles gets you to the reefs at the beginning of East Bay

so launching from tx city dike is closer to hannas reef than launching from kehma right

 

[Fishspanker]

Closer by about 2-3 miles. Also protected from wind more if it kicks up while you are out. It can be along way back across the open bay if you have a smaller boat

very true fishspanker.

however several people have questioned the safety of your vehicle (breakins) while parked on the tx city dike. never happened to me, but plenty of people have expressed concern.
