Captain Ken has been fishing the upper Galveston Bay over 2 decades offering both wade and drift fishing trips from the boat.

Ken’s personal passion is an early morning methodical shoreline wade hurling a large topwater lure, seeking aggressive schools of speckled trout and redfish. Most customers however prefer drift fishing from the boat, a technique Ken has much experience in.

The 23’ Kenner and 250 Mercury Pro-XS provide a comfortable ride across the water, having plenty of storage and fishing space for all onboard.

Captain Ken’s positive attitude and knowledge will enhance your outdoor experience as he strives to make memorable moments for his guests.

A day on the water with Captain Ken is one with no limit of fun, laughter, and excitement.

About Your Trip

Available year-round, these trips are perfect for friends, families, and anglers of all experience levels looking to enjoy a fun and productive day on the water close to Houston.

Captain Ken operates out of multiple launch locations in and around the Baytown area, providing convenient access
to a vast network of bays, marshes, channels, and shorelines that hold fish throughout the year. Located just about 20 minutes from downtown Houston, this fishery offers an excellent escape from the city without requiring a long drive to reach quality fishing grounds.

The Upper Galveston Bay system is home to a variety of popular inshore species, and Captain Ken will tailor the trip based on seasonal patterns, weather conditions, and what is biting best at the time. Depending on the season, anglers may target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead, and other Gulf Coast favorites. These waters are known for producing both steady action and quality fish, making them ideal for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

A variety of proven inshore fishing techniques may be used throughout the trip, including live bait presentations, artificial lures, drifting, and fishing around structure or shorelines. Captain Ken adjusts his approach throughout the day to maximize opportunities and keep anglers on active fish.

All fishing equipment is provided, so there's no need to worry about bringing your own gear. Captain Ken also includes fish cleaning at the end of the trip, allowing you to head home with your catch ready for the table. Live bait is not included in the trip price but can be secured before departure at current market rates to ensure you have the best opportunity for success on the water.

Ken was wonderful. It felt like fishing with an old fishing buddy. Very personable, very friendly and laid back experience.
Ken knows the area, and the best spots well. He was also very conciencious. Our family felt perfectly safe the entire time.
