The last few weeks fishing for trout is good, redfish is slow. Pan fish is fair. Lots of trout using live bait at the wells and A1 lease in Galveston Bay. The jetties holding lots of sharks using dead bait on the bottom. Need to fish early or late because of the heat. Stay safe. Be sure to drink lots of water. Captain Mike

On our most recent trip we decided to target slot redfish specifically. They bite turned on about half way through the trip and the action was a blast.

The last couple weeks have been pretty productive despite the heat. Lots of big trout can still be found when the winds die down to fish the open bay. The rest of August looks very good and the fishing should continue to get better as we get some rain.

The Dog Days of Summer
What can be said, it is HOT!, the weather that is. Catching redish and trout freelining live shrimp or croaker along the rocks. If you move away from the jetties out on the beach front its sharks aplenty with cut bait.
As we move thru August and into September the over sized Red drum (Bull Reds) will start showing in the channel and surf. Have to get out early and get it done.

    Captain Bobby didn’t disappoint! We will be returning!

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Lance is amazing! He knows the waters he fishes in and was very motivated for my group to catch fish and have a great time. He was not stingy with his gas either. If we weren't catching we moved until we did. And our rods always had bait, no matter what. He manages his boat like true professional. Captain Lance is also a good man and easy to talk to. You will have a great time and catch fish.

    Rodney was a great captain and we had an amazing time on our trip. Our group consisted of two individuals on the autism spectrum and my father with Alzheimer’s. He was patient, understanding and provided an amazing experience for our family! Highly recommended!

    Trip: Galveston Jetty Trip

  • ★★★★★
    The trip was wonderful and Captain Richard was great and Brandon was excellent he showed us how we needed to board the boat. Once departing the dock he made sure everything was secured before leaving. Once we got to the fishing location prepared the equipment and baited the lines and handed over the equipment to fish. When we would catch a fish he would take it off the hook then measure the fish to make sure it was legal if not the fish was put back in water. When we departed the locations Brandon would make sure everything was secured before leaving back to dock. When we arrived the dock and got the boat Brandon would put the fish into a basket and handed it over to the Captain. Brandon would start his job in cleaning the whole boat front to rear and preparing it for the next charter. Once completed we talked about other charters s little, then we shook hands with Brandon and the Captain. My son and I will be making a charter again and would like Brandon and the Captain to help us again.
