Birds are working with some nice speckled trout being caught using live shrimp or plastic, water temp holding in the uper 80's, and morning tides are extremely high so fishing on top of reefs and structures.

It's been a good tarpon season in Galveston. Action should pick up again after hurricane Francine passes. Late September is prime time!

Fishing continues to be on fire. Live bait has been my go to from the boat. Wade fishing with artificials had also produced good stringers of trout.

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.

    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

    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.
