This was last Sunday catch. They book from Captain Experience. Fishing in the upper Galveston Bay complex is on fire. The colder the weathers the fishing will be great. The water temperature was 58 degrees we were using live shrimp fishing over shell. To book a trip get with Captain Experience. Thanks for booking me.

Fishing being good for me and my customers. Seems like the colder it gets the better the fish bite, for us to catch fish.

The week before Thanksgiving I got to take out my mentor Capt Benny and his partner, Steven Williams, and we got on some Reds.
Well, over Thanksgiving weekend, I was in Florida spending time with my daughter and grandbabies. And yes we got out fishing and it was good Reds and Trout!

    Jordan was great, very courteous or is on fish right away. We had some weather come in early. We regrouped he stayed positive and we went back out and continued to catch fish. He was great to fish with!!!! Definitely recommend Jordan.

    Captain Jay is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just got home from our 5hr trip and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jay is informative, funny, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable on the water. His vast knowledge of fishing left us with new techniques that we’ll be able to use from here on out. If you’re looking for a stellar guide for you or your family/friends, don’t look any further. Jay is definitely your guy. We will absolutely book with him again! -Anna and Cian

    We had a late cancellation from another captain and were excited that Jordan could fit us in on short notice. Great day out and came home with fish…good times!

    Amazing experience! Captain Chad drove 50 miles to the next city just so we’d have good live bait for our trip. With that being said we caught 40 fish and 20 keepers. Even managed to get on some Reds in late January weather. We will definitely be booking another trip with Captain “Chappy”. If you’re looking to catch fish in a relaxed setting with someone who knows there stuff, look No Further.
