Reported: 2 years ago

Fishing is red hot in Galveston bay. Catching specks, redfish, flounders, drums and sheepheads. The water temperature is 68 degrees. Use live shrimp over shell and rock. With a full moon it's an early bite. Now the time to go while the kids out of school for spring break. Thanks...

Spring time fishing is in full swing. Redfish are big and eating almost daily and the trout fishing is picking up.

We enjoyed the fishing trip with Ralph. He tried really hard to get us to where the fish were biting.

We had a great fishing trip with Ryan in the Intracoastal near the San Bernard River. Caught 8 keepers but had lots of action that we caught and released. Very knowledgeable. Our grandson had a ball!

Ralph was awesome with us. Making sure we on the fish the whole time. Easily we all caught 15-20 fish a piece. Three big reds were caught along with tons of sand trout. We also all caught 30 or so gafftop catfish as well.

Hey folks, I wanted to give a review for my time fishing with Captain Chris in Galveston West Bay. Fishing overall was tough due to some wicked calm conditions during the October Super Moon. Capt. Chris went above and beyond to put us on fish. He is truly a gifted guide, who balances fishing conditions and personalities together, a rare find indeed.

Shawn did a great job. None of us had been tarpon fishing before. We saw several schools and ended up catching 2 nice ones between 110 and 140 lbs. I would fish with Shawn again.
