About Your Trip

Spend the day fishing the productive waters of the Galveston Bay system with Captains Jake and Brad targeting some of the Texas coast’s most popular inshore species. Specializing in Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder, these trips are built around putting anglers in the best position possible based on tides, weather, bait movement, and seasonal conditions throughout the bay complex.

Whether you're booking a family trip, fishing with friends, or organizing a corporate outing, the focus is simple — a laid-back atmosphere paired with serious fishing.

Trips can be tailored around both boat fishing and wade fishing depending on conditions and your group’s preference. Boat trips can accommodate up to 4 anglers, while wade fishing trips can accommodate up to 6 anglers. Guests joining wade trips will need to bring their own rod and reel setup.

Captains Jake and Brad provide the tackle, ice, and fish cleaning for all trips, helping make the day easy and enjoyable from start to finish. If your group would prefer to fish with live bait, that option is available as well for an additional charge per person.

For larger parties, multi-boat trips can also be coordinated, making these trips a great fit for company outings, bachelor parties, family gatherings, or larger groups wanting to fish together on the Galveston Bay system.

Whether you're drifting reefs for Trout, chasing tailing Redfish, or looking to put fresh Flounder in the cooler, these trips are built around local knowledge, flexibility, and time on the water.
