The last few weeks fishing for trout is good, redfish is slow. Pan fish is fair. Lots of trout using live bait at the wells and A1 lease in Galveston Bay. The jetties holding lots of sharks using dead bait on the bottom. Need to fish early or late because of the heat. Stay safe. Be sure to drink lots of water. Captain Mike

On our most recent trip we decided to target slot redfish specifically. They bite turned on about half way through the trip and the action was a blast.

The last couple weeks have been pretty productive despite the heat. Lots of big trout can still be found when the winds die down to fish the open bay. The rest of August looks very good and the fishing should continue to get better as we get some rain.

    Mark was a great guide. I’ve been on many charters but Mark definitely took things to a whole new level. He made sure we caught a fish and helped us the entire catch. Mark is very knowledgeable in his craft and I’ll definitely be returning to him in the near future.
