With temperatures on the rise the reds have been moving into the back lakes. Perfect for chasing them with the airboat where outboards can't go.

In Galveston West Bay Reds and Flounder have been equally consistent on both artificials and live bait. Trout have been up and down as far as numbers per trip but will be picking up more and more as the month goes on.

Redfish is going crazy in Galveston bay. Using live shrimp fish close to standing rocks off the ship channel. The Galveston Jetties holding lots of pan fish along with some trout and drum fish. Overall fishing is good in the Galveston complex.

Fishing has started to heat up with warmer temps. Live shrimp and popping corks doing most of the damage right now.

Well this weather has been crazy but can still put my clients on fish. Between high winds and super low tides we have found success.

    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.
