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.

May has been a challenging month for fishing due to a lot of windy days, but we have still managed to reel in some great catches.
Blacktip sharks have been particularly active, with many being caught near the shore and around jetties. These sharks are known for their acrobatic jumps and fighting spirit, making them a popular target for sport fishermen.
Redfish have also been biting well in May, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. These fish are known for their hard fight and delicious taste, making them a popular catch. We have had success using mullet, shad...

Redfish have also been biting well in May, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. These fish are known for their hard fight and delicious taste, making them a popular catch. We have had success using mullet, shad and blue crabs as bait.
Gafftop sail catfish have been another common catch in May, especially in the shallow flats and at the jetties. While not as prized as redfish or sharks, gafftops can still provide plenty of fun for anglers and are known for their strong runs and head-shaking fights.
Finally, black drum have also been biting well in May, especially around oyster reefs and other structure. These fish are bottom feeders and can be caught using crab or shrimp on a bottom rig. Black drum are known for their size and strength, with some reaching over 50 pounds in weight.
Overall, May has been a mixed bag for fishing, with some great catches of blacktip sharks, redfish, gafftop sail catfish, and black drum despite the windy conditions.
Lots of fresh run off. Fresh on top and salty on bottom. Fishing is still slow. I did managed to catch a good limited of trout before the rain came. The Galveston jetties still holding a few fish using live shrimp. West bay is a good place to fish the fresh water doesn’t hurt that bay. Next full moon the trout will be spawning always remember all fish spawn on a full moon. Thanks and good luck fishing.

The bite has really picked up in the last couple of weeks. Shrimp under popping cork. Top water bite is awesome early morning and throwing plastic for Flounder and Trout!

We had a fantastic trip with Scott as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable of the water we fished and he put us on some nice fish, then fileted our catch for us to have cooked at a local restaurant. We'll definitely be repeat customers and recommend Scott to family and friends!
Had an awesome time out with Mark. He accommodated bringing our two yr old as well. Very knowledgeable.. and offers a variety of excursions to do. Would recommend.
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.
Scott was a great captain and an amazing person. He called before we ever met and put me at ease. Day of trip we had to reschedule due to weather and he was super accommodating. Took us to a great spot and got on some big fish! I would recommend this guy to my own daughter and trust he would get her home safe. 10/10 👍
