We will meet at a predetermined location that is best for you and provides quick access to fishing. I provide the rods, reels, tackle and bait for the day. I just need you to bring your drinks and snacks in a small cooler and to make sure everyone has a valid fishing license. Do we fish if it’s raining or windy? Safety is a priority. If there are severe storms in the area or if the wind is out of control, I’ll suggest we delay or try to reschedule the trip. There’s no sense in going out and being uncomfortable, and I will never put us in danger. But if it’s just a little rain, let’s go – the fish are already wet! We will fish from my 24’ Sea Pro with Suzuki 200 hp engine to get there fast, using live bait most days; we will fish reefs, jetties or other structure around Galveston Bay. Once we are done we will return to the dock where I will clean and filet your fish and package them in gallon ziplock bags. Read More

Spend the first part of your day wearing out the Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum out in the Galveston Bay Complex, and finish your adventure out on the Jetties where you never know what you're going to catch! Your welcome to determine how you'd like to allocate your time as well, if the bay is hot your welcome to stay inshore, and if your looking to spend all your time out the Jetties, Captain Brantley can make it happen. He will suggest which is best but ultimately, he is there to please. We will start in the bay and as it gets later in the morning head to the jetties. The jetties are full of unknowns. If you have young children, we highly suggest these trips due to fast action and a lot of it! Captain Brantley can rig up for sharks too if you'd like! If you're looking to run a full-day trip, Captain Brantley suggests the fall and early spring. Heat exposure is always a risk during the summertime that will affect even avid anglers, and though his boat has a T-top, all day in that Texas heat can be taxing! On the day of your trip, Captain Brantley invites you to hop aboard his 2020 25 ft Tidewater Carolina Bay equipped with all the latest electronics and amenities along with a 300 Yamaha that will have you out fishing the bays in know time. For rods and reels, Captain Brantley uses all Penn and Shimano gear, and offers bait casters if that's your flavor, just let him know ahead of time. Every trip includes fishing equipment, fuel, bait, ice, cooler, fish cleaning/bagging, licensed captain, and a great on the water experience. All you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks and your Texas Saltwater fishing license and you'll be off to the races! Read More

    Captain Steve is the best. Knows so much about fishing in general and the area in specific. We didn’t catch many today but we had an excellent experience anyway. Can’t wait to head out with him again.

    Darrell was friendly, patient and knowledgeable regarding the Galveston waters. This was the first saltwater fishing experience for my 11-year-old son. Darrell was great working with him and made both of us feel welcomed and comfortable.

    Captain Jetty Jesus Jon was great, taught my son and his friends the importance of patience and in return we got blessed with HUGE fish and great stories to go with the filets!! Thank you so much….

    David F. with Meghan B. of Galveston, Texas

    Great time for the family. Capt Derek put us on fish early and we caught fish the entire time. Thanks for making our vacation better.

    Rob H. with Meghan B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Sometimes the fish you are hoping for aren't the ones biting. That is why it is called fishing and not catching. When that is the case your guides can turn what could be a "bummer" trip into a fantastic day. Captain Johnathan and Deck hand Mike did that for our crew. We did catch fish and took home a beautiful Bull Red will feed all 8 of us. More importantly, we had a fantastic day on the water, great conversation with new friends, and learned a bit about Galveston Bay also.

    James E. with Meghan B. of Galveston, Texas

    Captain John was awesome and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Brant is an amazing guide. He genuinely cares about you having a safe and memorable trip. It was a bit warm and crowded but we did catch a lot of fish many small trouts a couple of black drum and ultimately ended with 5 trouts that were legal a one black drum. We caught more cats than we could count but quickly threw those back. Brant enjoys fishing and will spend as much time as you want teaching you all he knows about fishing and the area. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great trip Brant.

    Awesome trip! Captain and deck hand very courteous provided all the support we needed. Caught fish. Thanks again.

    My son and I wanted to go fishing over spring break. He had his heart set on going deep sea fishing. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans. However, after speaking to Brandon we identified the best day possible to fish the bay. Captain Steve and first mate Jimmy took us out and made sure we had an outstanding time. While the boats around us were struggling to catch anything, my son was busy all morning catching fish. The weather window was perfect and we had a great time. These guys are great!!! We will definitely be back. Thanks again to Brandon, Steve and Jimmy.

    Michael C. with Brandon M. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Jonathan and Cody were great today on our fishing guide. We got out there, set lines and got acquainted then it was on. Everyone got to reel some in. Having patience is key!! Everytime we stopped to chat it like we had another line hit. I was very nervous as this was our fist ever fishing guide and salt water fishing. But Jonathan answered all our questions and helped us with everything. My family had a blast! We highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

    Danyelle J. with Meghan B. of Galveston, Texas

    My son had a wonderful time he just wish they would have went out more that a mile. They were cut short . Not worth what I paid this time. Hopefully when we did it again it will be better . But they had fun

    Meghan made getting ready for this trip so easy. She provided all the information we needed and was available to answer all of our last minute questions. Captain Bryan was fantastic! He was very laid back, knowledgeable, knew the area well and took us straight to the fish. We had such an awesome experience! We caught a couple sharks, a big red fish, some cool catfish, trout and even a sting ray. We really had a great time and will be back! Thank you so much!!

    I had an absolute blast going out with Captain Kevin. He was very knowledgeable and is guaranteed to give you a great, memorable fishing experience. I definitely plan on booking as many trips with him as I possible can!

    Erik P. with Kevin L. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a really amazing time! We all got a little sea sick but Jonathan talked us through it lol. We were all newbies to deep sea fishing and Shree had never fished before at all! He ended up catching a 50” Red Drum and I caught a 37” Red Drum. (Fyi they make an actual drum sound once on deck) Oh and we lost a Hammer Head… fisherman anonymous here we come 😂 Jonathan was talkative and extremely knowledgeable. He knew what we caught before we even pulled it up. All in all… an amazing first experience! I think we will be excited to do it again!! After all we have to get that shark 😉

    Captain Roy took great care of us during our trip for our father's birthday! It was a fun and entertaining trip. We caught quite a bit of fish. We will be using this team again for a day of fun!

    Kiera M. with Shawn W. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Son and I had a awesome trip with Capt Danny. Wind was blowing but found birds and found lots of fish. Main goal was to put my son on some nice redfish and last stop paid off with four redfish in less than 20 minutes. Would have liked one slot but that is why they call it fishing and I’ll take 4 rats over nothing any day. We did get some specs and sand trout to take home. Best part was back at the dock when we rigged up a sand trout and son Hooked into a huge alligator gar that he fought for almost ten minutes. Thanks again for a enjoyable trip.
