What's Biting in Surfside Beach

★★★★★
Bob was an amazing guide. We're super happy with the trip. Highly recommend!

Trip: Galveston Jetty Trip
★★★★★
I had the best trip out with Captain Leb and his brother. As a VERY novice fisherman, I felt comfortable and at ease. They taught me so much and time just flew by. I cannot recommend this charter enough- they are kind, funny, and of course knowledgeable. Bonus: it was just me, a female, on the trip. Felt like I was fishing with two of my brothers. Can’t wait to get back down here.

Trip: Freeport Fowl Hunts
★★★★★
The trip was very well organized and ready to go when we arrived. Capt. CJ took us to a great area to start where we were busy pulling in fish. Altogether we caught 12 fish and enjoyed the Sheepshead and Red Fish last night. It was a great time!

Trip: Jetty Trip
★★★★★
Capt. Tim put us on fish right off the bat. The boat was a great rig. The cold front had slowed things down a little bit this guy just wouldn’t give up. We will definitely look him up next chance we get. Tim is your guy if you’re considering a gigging trip.

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.

We had a great fishing trip with Ryan in the Intracoastal near the San Bernard River. Caught 8 keepers but had lots of action that we caught and released. Very knowledgeable. Our grandson had a ball!

Trip: Freeport Bay Fishing Trip
★★★★★
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.
