Hey folks, Captain Jason here! Things are heating up fast. Water temperatures are rising to the level of welcoming all of those migratory pelagics to the panhandle. Also, the influx of bait fish seeking refuge on near shore structures has sparked a great bite from various snapper species, grouper, trigger...

Galveston bay is still putting up some nice stringers. Artificial and live shrimp have been working on the speckled trout. Live shrimp have been the ticket for redfish.

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.

Captain Charles was great! He taught us a lot about fishing. We will definitely call him again next time we are in Galveston. Thanks Captain Charles!

Trip: Great Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
We had an incredible day on the water with Captain Troy From start to finish, this fishing trip exceeded all expectations. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The boat was well-equipped, and safety was clearly a top priority. We were taken to some fantastic spots where the fish were biting almost instantly. The Captain even handled all the cleaning of our catch so we could just relax and enjoy the day. On top of the fishing, the scenery was stunning—calm waters, clear skies, and even a few dolphin sightings along the way. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We left with fresh fish, great memories, and plans to book again soon. Captain Troy's nursing background really helped ease any motion sickness worries and calm first-time nerves, my son is 7 and he had a blast! If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, this is the trip to take!

Captain Charles was awesome! Our teenage daughter appreciated his patience and instruction. His enthusiasm for fishing made the trip fun. With his guidance, I was able to catch more fish than my husband. Looking forward to the next time and catching another shark!

We had an amazing experience! Captain Charles made sure that we had to information that we needed and was very responsive when we needed him. We launched on schedule and were immediately on fish. We had a great time fishing and a better time catching!

Took my 5-year-old son, my nephew, and his dad out with Capt. Troy, and let me just say—it was a blast from start to finish! Rods were bending left and right as we reeled in sand bass, black drum, a couple of sting rays, and some croaker. The kids were grinning ear to ear the whole time! Capt. Troy was patient, fun, and made sure everyone—especially the little ones—had a great experience. Nothing better than watching your kid hook into a fish and yell, “I got one!” over and over again. It was good times, great memories, and an all-around awesome day on the water. Highly recommend booking a trip with him if you’re looking for a fun family adventure!
