Join Captain Shane at 6 AM for a morning excursion in the Galveston Bay. You'll be targeting Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Tarpon, making it a great trip for a serious trophy trout hunter or for somebody just looking to bring in a whole mess of fish!

If you can handle the challenge, the “Silver King” is the fish for you. These fish are as tough as they are beautiful, and are a worthy opponent for any angler.

All you need is a Texas Fishing License with Saltwater Stamp and any sun protection and snacks you may want out on the boat. You will need to bring along waders if you plan on wade fishing.
