West Galveston bay and east Galveston bay have been producing well. Low winds have made catching easy, and has allowed for access to many new areas and fish.

Our jetty fishing has been outstanding and should continue to be good throughout fall and winter. We are seeing our large bull reds showing up for their fall run.

The shark season is coming to an end but the red run is just beginning! The recent rain and wind is making some days tough, but if we can get out there, we are making it count! Soon it will be fall and that's one of our favorite times to fish.

Fishing on west Galveston bay continues to be on fire. Croaker and live shrimp continue to produce good boxes of fish. Some days we concentrate on red fish, other days we concentrate on trout then we finish out the day working on red fish.

    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

    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.
