Galveston Jetties continue to produce a good mix of sheepshead, pup drum, along with an occasional redfish on live shrimp. Best bite has been around tidal changes on calmer days. Tide levels continue to fluctuate drastically around frontal passages. Action should remain steady through March.

Redfish and drum are holding steady on drains after cold fronts, lots of good specs on the flats when the water warms up.

Our family had a blast with Captain Conner! He was so kid friendly for our three boys and helped create a very memorable experience for everyone! We would 100% use this service again for a future fishing trip…our boys are already asking when we can go again.

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.
