Mike Cacciotti with Captain Mike's Fish Service Deer Park, Texas Reported: 3 years ago

Fishing is red hot the upper end of Galveston bay. Lots of trout on live shrimp along with some redfish. West bay is a little slow because of the windy days. Galveston jetties still holding some nice sheep heads and some bull reds on live shrimp. East bay is good for trout under birds. Over all the water is around 65 degrees. After this weekend the fishing should be great. Be safe have fun.

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.

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.
