Last few trips have been mostly catch and release trips. Did not take a lot of pictures. Most days we are finding a good bite using artificial lures from the boat. Some days it takes time for the bite to materialize. Recent weather patterns are indicating an early spring. Water temperature have already reached mid 70 degrees. The shad spawn has already begun. So we will be using smaller baits to get our bites for the next 30days or so. Popping cork and shrimp will also become an effective method for catching fish.

The backwater is holding lots of redfish, some trout and some large sheepsheads. We’re using live shrimp fishing 4 to 6 feet deep along rocks. Spring Break is right around the corner, it’s time to get your kids outdoors!

    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.
