Fishing has not slowed down! The Redfish, Trout, Drum, and Sheephead bite has been great". His pics sent small over text, so I asked if he could email them to us so they're better quality.

Fishing has been getting better and better with the water temperatures coming down after summer. Good numbers of Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Eating sized Black Drum, and even Sheepshead have been coming in. We have been fishing both Upper Galveston Bay and West Galveston Bay.

First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

Hey folks, I wanted to give a review for my time fishing with Captain Chris in Galveston West Bay. Fishing overall was tough due to some wicked calm conditions during the October Super Moon. Capt. Chris went above and beyond to put us on fish. He is truly a gifted guide, who balances fishing conditions and personalities together, a rare find indeed.

I actually fished with Jay. I had a wonderful time learning a new area and new (to me) techniques. The fishing was slow, but that was out of his control, and immaterial. That’s why they call it fish8ng, and not catching. I was very impressed with Jay’s knowledge of the area and of fishing. I would definitely book him again.
