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!

Trophy red fish have been great, - fishing with live bait, flounder are still holding good and producing fair on an out going tide. Sheep's head have started showing up on the jetties, along with black drum mixed in.

Had a great day on the water. Captain Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable. Consistently had us on fish. Limited out on trout in the first hour, and ended up catching a trophy drum. Definitely recommend mike to guide your next fishing adventure.

★★★★★
5 stars!! He was awesome and really tried to get on some fish. We learned so much and he answered all out questions and even non-fishing questions.about the area, history of Galveston, area attractions etc. He was amazing and we are so thankful we had this experience with Captain Shannon.

Overall today was just to hot of a day. We saw a lot of birds and David done everything above and beyond to get us on birds but the birds just weren’t cooperating. But definitely a good time. David did give us a rescheduled hunt and maybe the cold weather and birds will move in. David is definitely the best guided service we have been to and we will definitely be rebooking in the future

We were down fishing with Chris for a buddy's bachelor party and had an awesome time out there. Chris warned us ahead of time that conditions were tough, but we decided to brave the elements. Chris took us around to multiple spots all across West Bay. He put us on countless trout under the birds before we had to make it back. Will be back and can't wait, thanks Chris! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

We got out with Capt. Mike on my buddy's bachelor party and had a time and a half! We had guys that fish and lot and some that hadn't fished in a while. Mike was great with everyone and put us on redfish, black drum, and some nice speckled trout even though conditions were pretty tough. Will be back down to see you soon! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

Capt. Bubba let us catch some live bait and then took us to the Bull Reds and everyone caught their limit and had plenty of catch and release after. Was a great experience and would definitely book again

★★★★★
Capt Jonathan's experience & knowledge put us on over 2 dozen bull Reds on a day made for duck hunting, with rain 🌧 bands most of the trip. But like a good Capt, Jonathan knows not to fear the wind but to instead uses it as an advantage by fishing the consealed wind blown areas where the winds push the bait to the fish. DON'T Fear the Wind and DON'T pass up a fishing trip with Capt Jonathan. God Bless and Tight Lines.
