In Galveston West Bay Reds and Flounder have been equally consistent on both artificials and live bait. Trout have been up and down as far as numbers per trip but will be picking up more and more as the month goes on.

Redfish is going crazy in Galveston bay. Using live shrimp fish close to standing rocks off the ship channel. The Galveston Jetties holding lots of pan fish along with some trout and drum fish. Overall fishing is good in the Galveston complex.

This 6 hour fishing charter was on the tail end of a cold front. With that we had some wind and some bigger than normal seas but this crew toughed it out! There main focus was to keep what they caught so we targeted vermilion snapper and trigger fish that...

Harry Arthur Galveston, Texas Reported: 2 years ago

I continue to beat up on the red fish. The marsh has begun to fill back up. And the redfish are flooding in. We have been catching them with artificials and live shrimp. The trout bite has been slow for me. I just haven't been targeting them. Seems like we are having an early spring, water temperatures have already been in the upper 70 degrees. Wind will be the big issue going forward till June. This will only play into my hands, because I have bee catching fish in some very dirty water.

What's Biting in East Bay

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!

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!

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!
