Catching lots of trout wading the shorelines of East and West Galveston Bay. Getting a few on topwaters, but most bites are on soft plastics (Down South Lures in color "Pink Flamingo").

Fished the west Galveston area. Bottom of the tide at dawn. Water off color, wind 13 to 15 mph. Fished some artificial reef on the north side with live shrimp and popping corks. 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.

Fishing has been good, it's been windy but we are working through it. Both live bait and artificial lures have been working. I have plenty of days available right now

We had a productive day on the water with Captain Mike. He was patient with us bass fishermen and taught us some new techniques that really put us on a lot of good trout. Mike clearly knows the waters well and efficiently took us to a few different types of spots to try different methods for different fish. We’ll definitely connect with Captain Mike on our next Galveston trip.
Had an absolute blast on this flounder trip. The captain was top-notch—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely fun to fish with. He put us on fish all day, shared solid tips, and kept the energy high without any of the usual pressure or rush. Everything from the boat setup to the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a solid flounder outing with a captain who actually knows what he’s doing and makes it a good time, book this one. Would go again in a heartbeat.
We booked with Bob for our son’s birthday and the entire family had an AMAZING time! He was very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and in the words of my son “funny”. He ensure we had a great experience. We got some great catches and we will definitely rebook with Bob in the future for another fishing trip!
Captain Mike was awesome! He worked with my son making his first charter memorable. He put us on the bite and provided a high quality service that we look forward to again next year!
