The redfish run came later this year and didn't last as long as we usually get BUT while it lasted we brought some monsters over the rail! Here are some pics of trophy reds we reeled in these last few weeks....

Fishing has been really good on Galveston Bay lately with lots of redfish, black drum and trout coming in the boat! The bull red run is in full swing and should remain that way through most of November.

Mark was a great guide. I’ve been on many charters but Mark definitely took things to a whole new level. He made sure we caught a fish and helped us the entire catch. Mark is very knowledgeable in his craft and I’ll definitely be returning to him in the near future.
