Fishing has been tough on the weekends due to excessive Fishing pressure. However, the fish are biting in the out of the way spots. Finding clear-ish water, baitfish and current is the key.

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.

Caught a ton of fish. Captain Dexter really knew his stuff. Great guy on top of that. Highly recommend Captain Dexter for families and someone who wants to have a great time and catch lots of fish in a laid back environment.

This is the second time we have fished with Captain Jesse. Once again he put us on the fish, but more importantly, he taught us how to fish. I’ve been fishing for many years and did not know the proper way to set the hook and ensure the fish stayed on the line. My grandson wants me to start planing the next trip with Captain Jesse. Great boat, great guide, great guy - Thanks, Craig, Lisa, & James.

We were down fishing with Chris for a buddy's bachelor party and had an awesome time out there. Chris warned us ahead of time that conditions were tough, but we decided to brave the elements. Chris took us around to multiple spots all across West Bay. He put us on countless trout under the birds before we had to make it back. Will be back and can't wait, thanks Chris! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences
