Harry Arthur Galveston, Texas Reported: 2 years ago

Last few trips have been mostly catch and release trips. Did not take a lot of pictures. Most days we are finding a good bite using artificial lures from the boat. Some days it takes time for the bite to materialize. Recent weather patterns are indicating an early spring. Water temperature have already reached mid 70 degrees. The shad spawn has already begun. So we will be using smaller baits to get our bites for the next 30days or so. Popping cork and shrimp will also become an effective method for catching fish.

Mike was a super guide. He worked hard for us. Unfortunately we only got 2 keepers But, if it wasn't for Mike's eagle eye would not have gotten those. I'll definitely book with Mike again one day.

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.

Trip: Galveston Inshore Fishing

We enjoyed our morning captainexperiences.com fishing trip in Galveston very much. Captain Brenden was enthusiastic and ready to go the moment we stepped onto the boat. One could tell that he cared very much about our experience, and time and time again he put the maximum effort into making sure our every need was taken care of. We really appreciated his knowledge and the big high five he gave us each time we caught a red fish, drum, or shark. The boat was well maintained, and the scenery at sunrise was in a word, breathtaking. Captain Brenden was friendly with all of the other boat captains, and we enjoyed the way he joyfully networked with the other vessels to ensure we arrived at the best fishing spots. We also very much appreciated that he filleted and packaged our fish shortly after arriving back at the dock. Overall, we had a lot of fun, and we would recommend another trip with Captain Brenden to our friends.

Trip: Galveston Jetty Trip
★★★★★
The trip was amazing, comfortable, and just a good time fishing in the ocean. The bean boat bags were perfect, helping us take a nap while we were cruising to the deep ocean. Went home with an ice chest full of fish meat. It was a great time. Thank you Chris!
