Our catches in Galveston Bay have been steady. These aren't jetty trips where you drop your bait on the bottom and hope for a bite. We fish all of Galveston Bay, going to locations known to produce fish. We may not catch them all the time, but we're able to make moves, ensuring our anglers have the best chance to catch trout, reds, black drum, and sheepshead. This time of year is dependent upon the weather, but if it's not just blown completely out, we usually find some fish.

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.

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.
