The redfish run came later this year and didn't last as long as we usually get BUT while it lasted we brought some monsters over the rail! Here are some pics of trophy reds we reeled in these last few weeks....

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.
