Tune in for our first live interview tonight at 6pm CST. We'll be hearing from Captain Johnny Stabile on what it's like to guide for trophy Peacock Bass and Clown Knife Fish on Florida's Lake Ida.

Whether you're looking to book for tomorrow morning or just daydreaming about Golden Dorado in Bolivia, the new interphase provides a fun and engaging experience for all.
Capt. LG and his groups caught 10+ drum yesterday (3/12/20), a few Redfish, and a few Sheepshead. The bull Black Drum are chomping best on cracked crab.
Bay fishing has been spotty with Capt. LG catching fish every day but not a lot of keepers. Capt. LG says the Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder are still way up north (Baytown area) following winter patterns.
As the weather warms up, the bait will mature and start migrating towards the Gulf. That’ll bring the fish with them and will bring them south into East Bay and West Bay.
Frozen flying fish rigged to a kite is your best bet for a big bite. It's hard to get this as bait and a single frozen flying fish cost about $50. We of course will provide a few (if we can get them) for free. You only need like 4 to have a successful day! This is because we use this type of bait exclusively for kite fishing, and you can generally only fly one at a time. But man, do these things work. They are like cotton candy to Blue Fin.
Rockfish is some of the best eating fish out there. Soft, white, flaky meat that doesn't have a fishy taste. Of course, the best dish to make is MEXICAN FISH TACOS. Most people do not know it, but if you have ever had real Mexican fish tacos, you were probably being served rockfish or rock cod. Check out the end of this article for a few recipes. On our larger boats like the Easter B, we will cook up some fish tacos for you on the way home! (8 hour trip or longer). Cleaning is always included.
Quick Take: · The Galveston Bay System is the largest bay system in Texas · Inshore fishing trips provide quality options for beginners and experienced anglers · Jetty trips are fun for families and groups chasing bull redfish, large black drum, sharks, and more · Galveston offers access to a vibrant, year-round offshore ecosystem, from 8-hour day trips to hardcore multi-day excursions
Lay of the Land:
The Galveston Bay System covers ~540 square miles and is separated from the Gulf of Mexico by the Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island. East Bay, West Bay, and Trinity Bay make up the greater Bay System.
To answer that question, we need to ask a question. What temperature range to our target fish like? Once we know this we can make an educated guess of the arrival date by predicting water temps. Everyone has their own opinion on this one, but here is mine.
Bluefin fishing is the pinnacle of Southern California sportfishing (and arguably the world) for its pure brute strength and incredibly tasty table fare. Favoring water temps around 60-72 degrees, this broader spectrum of temperature flexibility allows this fish to bite nearly year round. However, the general season usually starts in March and goes through October. However, this year, our fleet started seeing them show in decent numbers up as recent as February 20th! This is very rare.
