The Dog Days of Summer
What can be said, it is HOT!, the weather that is. Catching redish and trout freelining live shrimp or croaker along the rocks. If you move away from the jetties out on the beach front its sharks aplenty with cut bait.
As we move thru August and into September the over sized Red drum (Bull Reds) will start showing in the channel and surf. Have to get out early and get it done.

Galveston bay has been producing some extraordinary fishing recently. Early limits of big trout along with some bonus flounder and redfish. As a guide it is my job to understand what makes these fish do what they do. A combination of wind, tide movement and water salinity can play a huge part in where the majority of fish will be in the bay. It all comes together to make a successful fishing trip.

Weekly fishing report
Galveston,Tx
Happy Fathers Day! It's been a bit of a rough week out on the water, with some offshore trips having to be cancelled due to high winds and seas. But we finally managed to get out there and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.
Offshore, Capt Steve found the big red snapper and they were biting like crazy. These fish were bigger than my ex's attitude. It was a real workout, but the reward was some delicious snapper meat. Inshore, we caught some Frisky redfish, jacks, and catfish.
And of course, we can't forget about the sharks. They were circling our boat like a bunch of highway workers standing around a hole in the ground.
Short story Wind, waves, and a whole lot of fish. It's been a wild ride, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Until next time, tight lines and good luck out there!
Book your next adventure with us!
Captain Brandon

Galveston bay complex is in great shape, the water is clearing with high tide. Overall fishing is very good catching specks, redfish and lots of pan fish. Using live shrimp or live croakers. It's a great time to get the kids out for a fun fishing trip. Thanks, Captain Mike.
