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.

Galveston bay is still putting up some nice stringers. Artificial and live shrimp have been working on the speckled trout. Live shrimp have been the ticket for redfish.

Fishing is in full swing. With consistent weather, winds and water temperatures the fish have congregating in the same area of being able to locate them relatively in that same location every day. Fishing has been beyond great and will continue to get better with the consistency of these water temperatures and weather.

In Galveston West Bay Reds and Flounder have been equally consistent on both artificials and live bait. Trout have been up and down as far as numbers per trip but will be picking up more and more as the month goes on.

Redfish is going crazy in Galveston bay. Using live shrimp fish close to standing rocks off the ship channel. The Galveston Jetties holding lots of pan fish along with some trout and drum fish. Overall fishing is good in the Galveston complex.

    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.
