Fishing has been great lately. We've been using live shrimp and popping corks and soft plastics for the win. Trout have been good on open water structure and redfish on shallow reefs.
Fished the west Galveston area. Bottom of the tide at dawn. Water off color, wind 13 to 15 mph. Fished some artificial reef on the north side with live shrimp and popping corks. Picked up a few large gafftop and some sandtrout. Moved down couple hundred feet. Caught some specs and a upper slot red. Got a few more specs in chocolate bay. Some black drum and sheepshead in cold pass when the tide was ripping in. Slow bite but put together a nice box of fish

You might get lucky (as long as things are in-season).

We had a productive day on the water with Captain Mike. He was patient with us bass fishermen and taught us some new techniques that really put us on a lot of good trout. Mike clearly knows the waters well and efficiently took us to a few different types of spots to try different methods for different fish. We’ll definitely connect with Captain Mike on our next Galveston trip.
Had an absolute blast on this flounder trip. The captain was top-notch—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely fun to fish with. He put us on fish all day, shared solid tips, and kept the energy high without any of the usual pressure or rush. Everything from the boat setup to the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a solid flounder outing with a captain who actually knows what he’s doing and makes it a good time, book this one. Would go again in a heartbeat.
Captain Mike was awesome! He worked with my son making his first charter memorable. He put us on the bite and provided a high quality service that we look forward to again next year!
Connor is a great guy, has an awesome boat and tackle. I wasn't expecting wade fishing. My sons were up for it. Got some bites, some fish were caught. We had a great time. I would have Connor as a guide again next year. Thanks.
