Tuna just now showing up, but it's still hard to predict, same as sails and dorado, we focus on the amberjack, and other target species that are still in season, such as swordfish, and Mangrove, vermillion snapper, always hope for the fish of a lifetime! Looking to book for some overnight trips for yellowfin and marlin 100+ miles offshore.

Redfish madness
The last few weeks on the water have been absolutely incredible. If I had to take a guess on how many red fish we caught in the last weeks I would say 250 to 300. Most of the fish we've caught have been in 3 foot or less of water on a popping cork and shrimp. A lot of the recent trips I've ran have had non-stop action from the first cast to the last one. If you want to come get in on some of this action book a trip and let's go make some memories!

Catching continues to be good on West Galveston Bay. Have seen several trout up to 6 lbs. Redfish have been dominating our box. Live shrimp seems to be producing better than croaker as of late. Milder temps have set in, making for a more enjoyable trip. Light winds have brought clear water to the surf.

Gigging has been good with limits of flounder and with some good sheepshead, blue crab, stone crab claws and gar kickers. Water has been really clear in Galveston and matagorda area with the low winds in between tides.

Fishing is hot in trinity bay. Red, trout, & drum by the hundreds. Mostly small with keepers blended in. Bigger reds are showing up for the fall run. Bait of choice fresh dead shrimp on popping cork.

    Trip: "Trout Man Mike" Adventures

    Captain Lance gave us the shark trip of a lifetime! From the moment we got on the boat, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. We ended up catching some big stingrays and several awesome sharks, and every fight had us pumped. Captain Lance worked hard to keep us on fish and was always willing to help, answer questions, and make sure we had the best experience possible. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water and want a real shot at catching some monsters, I can’t recommend Captain Lance enough. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with him. Thanks again for making it such an incredible experience!

    Great experience with Pedro, caught many species of fish by the jetties, then we went after sharks and we hooked 2, one 4ft black tip (amazing areal show) but broke my lines, then a hammer head that was 6ft plus but broke out line right at the boat, all in all great outing.

    Out guide, Kevin, did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend him. There were four of us in our group including 2 experienced anglers, one semi experienced, and one who was very inexperienced. Kevin did a great job keeping everyone involved, baited, and altered approaches based on skill level. He worked very hard to put us on fish. He even cleaned our fish at the end of the trip. Again, I would higly recommend.
