About Your Trip
Experience the best of Texas Gulf Coast fishing with Captain Sammy, a lifelong Galveston Island native who’s spent over 30 years guiding anglers on the waters of Galveston Bay. Raised on the island and introduced to fishing at an early age, Captain Sammy brings unmatched local knowledge, a deep respect for safety, and a genuine passion for helping others make lasting memories on the water.
These inshore fishing trips are perfect for anglers of all
ages and skill levels, whether you're coming solo, with family, or as part of a larger group. Trips are fully customizable based on the season and your target species, and Captain Sammy works hard to give every guest the best chance at success while keeping the day fun, relaxed, and informative.
You’ll target a variety of inshore favorites like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and even the occasional Tarpon. Trout are a particular favorite for Captain Sammy, offering surface strikes and thrilling fights. Redfish provide strong, steady runs that test your strength and skill—and they’re available almost year-round in Galveston Bay.
You’ll fish from a 25’ Boston Whaler, a stable and dependable vessel equipped for serious fishing and all types of weather. Captain Sammy provides everything you’ll need for a great day on the water, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and all required safety gear. Just bring your snacks, drinks (no glass, please), sun protection, and weather-appropriate clothing.
Safety always comes first, and with decades of experience and countless hours on the bay, you can trust that you’re in good hands. But beyond safety, Captain Sammy’s mission is simple: to provide an honest, hardworking effort every trip, and to create a fishing experience that’s as enjoyable as it is successful.
If you have a larger group, no problem—Captain Sammy can coordinate additional boats and trusted guides to accommodate everyone. Whether you're helping your child catch their first fish or chasing a personal best, every trip is personal, memorable, and guided with care.
Captain Sammy invites you to experience the water, the fish, and the joy of a true Galveston Bay adventure—just like the ones that made him fall in love with fishing as a kid.
