This massive Hammerhead Shark was caught 20 miles Offshore out of Galveston. The pure rush of reeling in one of these monsters is no joke.

Winter patterns are holding great, lots of black drum and redfish holding close to shorelines. Most catches have been caught on shrimp. We've had several trips this past weekend that have caught limits!

What's Biting in Surfside Beach

★★★★★
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.
