Picked up a few large gafftop and some sandtrout. Moved down couple hundred feet. Caught some specs and a upper slot red. Got a few more specs in chocolate bay. Some black drum and sheepshead in cold pass when the tide was ripping in. Slow bite but put together a nice box of fish

Fishing in the Freeport/ Galveston area is heating up. Popping cork and live shrimp has been effective near and over shell reefs. Knocker rigs against piers and bulkhead producing big sheepheads.

Not a bad week, it was windy but that's about all. Morning and afternoon bites are decent. Seeing lots of fish activity in west Galveston bay. Sharks and stingrays are back so be mindful of them. Fish are eating on live or dead shrimp and smaller paddle tails and jerk...

Slow but bringing a few fish over the rail! A few reds, gulf trout, sheepshead and pup drum in the bay and Galveston Jetty-Channel area on live shrimp. And a few flounder still hanging around

    We had a windy day and even so, Capt. Mike knew where to go. We limited out on Trout very quickly. While we only got to keep 1 Red we did catch several. We will go with Capt, Mike again in the future. I would rate this experience from 1 to 10 as a 15.

    Trip: BAY TRIP! Light Tackle Only

  • ★★★★★
    We had an absolutely outstanding trip this past Saturday fishing in Matagorda. I took my four sons, and our captain could not have done a better job. From start to finish, he was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure the boys had a great experience. He knew where to go, worked hard to put us on fish, and made the whole day easy and enjoyable. What stood out most to me was how well he treated my sons. He was patient with them, coached them, encouraged them, and made sure each of them felt included. That means a lot to a dad. The boat was clean, the gear was ready, and everything was handled with confidence and care. It was clear we were with someone who knows Matagorda waters and takes pride in giving people a great day on the water. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a great captain, especially for a family trip, this is the guy. We made some great memories, and my boys are still talking about it. We will definitely be back.

    Bobby was a great captain we booked him for two days and he produced so many fish and such a great time. He knew the water as well and was a great assistant to my son in landing a huge 35 pound drum. I also got one, but I’m not talking about it.
