This massive Hammerhead Shark was caught 20 miles Offshore out of Galveston. The pure rush of reeling in one of these monsters is no joke.

Winter patterns are holding great, lots of black drum and redfish holding close to shorelines. Most catches have been caught on shrimp. We've had several trips this past weekend that have caught limits!

Trophy red fish have been great, - fishing with live bait, flounder are still holding good and producing fair on an out going tide. Sheep's head have started showing up on the jetties, along with black drum mixed in.

    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.
