Spring fishing is in full swing. That usually means great weather and hit or miss catching. We have been throwing a variety of lures and live shrimp. Most days we are catching fish, although not always full limits.

Fishing is slow because of the weather as soon as the weather settles down the fish will start feeding again. Remember this is the winter months. If you find the bait jumping you need to fish that area. The best time to fish is on an incoming tide. Stay safe...

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. I'll let you know once he emails them in!Fishing has not slowed down! The Redfish, Trout, Drum, and Sheephead bite has been great".

Hello folks. The redfish bite has been fantastic. We are making short runs into the St. Andrew Bay back country and literally on fish within minutes.

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.

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.

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!

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!
