Fishing has still been good mainly focusing on artificial in Galveston West Bay. Mainly Flounder and Trout with a couple Redfish each trip. Live bait has been gods in North Galveston Bay

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

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!

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.

Fishing has been great these last trips since coming off of vacation. Throwing a mix of live and artificial on Sunday and all artificial on Monday. Flounder Trout and Reds have been consistent and we were even able to catch some really nice fish throwing topwater lures.

What's Biting in Galveston

    We enjoyed the fishing trip with Ralph. He tried really hard to get us to where the fish were biting.

    Trip: Galveston Inshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

    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.
