Not a bad week, it was windy but that's about all. Morning and afternoon bites are decent. Seeing lots of fish activity in west Galveston bay. Sharks and stingrays are back so be mindful of them. Fish are eating on live or dead shrimp and smaller paddle tails and jerk...

Had a great time with Captain Ryan. We limited out on speckled trout and learned some new techniques. Good teacher and patient with our inexperienced group. Would hire him again!

Trip: Half Day Galveston Inshore Trip
★★★★★
It was a windy day but Jonathan took us right to a honey-hole out of the wind. The rods and reels were ready to go and easy to use. We caught fish all day long and came home with a nice haul which Jonathan cleaned and bagged for us. He even directed us to a local restaurant that cooked up a few of our fresh filets for dinner. It was a great day from beginning to end!

Jay made our fishing trip by far the best guided experience I have ever been on. We will for sure be booking another trip with him. If you are looking book a guided bay trip, I would recommend anyone to book with Jay.

Trip: Fishing Surfside/Freeport Bays
★★★★★
Bobby was a great captain we booked him for two days and he produced so many fish and such a great time. He knew the water as well and was a great assistant to my son in landing a huge 35 pound drum. I also got one, but I’m not talking about it.

Trip: Freeport On Light Tackle
★★★★★
We had great communication and helpful tips with Captain Lance's team from the moment we booked. He promised our crew of six LandLubbers that we’d be catching a bunch of fish on St. Patrick’s Day … and that’s exactly what we did! Our take on the day: some sheepshead, flounder, a bonnet-head shark, and the prize catch: a 35-inch redfish! Even Captain Lance was proud of that one – “about the biggest fish you’re ever going to catch with light tackle!” Then to finish things off, he expertly cleaned our fish … and offered some great tips on how to prepare them. We’ve been eating delicious fish dinners ever since! Thanks, Captain Lance, for memories that will last a lifetime!
