If you’ve never fished the Galveston Bay system, you’re missing out. These productive waters are home to the “Texas Big Three” (Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout), Amberjack, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and many more species. On this 9-hour action-packed adventure, Captain David will help you reel ‘em all in. Captain David conducts these trips using his 24’ Shallow Sport center console which can accommodate up to 4 anglers. This vessel is meant for those shallow hotspots and makes for a smooth ride to and from your destination.

    Captain Corey was absolutely amazing! We had fun caught several red fish, he is the best with kids big and small. We will back in the near future to fish with Captain Corey again.

    Awesome day on the water! Everyone caught fish. Both captains were very knowledgeable of the target species and where to find them. Our group gets a charter at least once a year and we’ve found our go to guides finally.

    Jeremy A. with Colton C. of Texas City, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    By far the best captain around !

    Diego R. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    I wanted to take a moment to share my recent fishing experience with anyone who will listen. During my trip, I had the pleasure of being guided by Corey, who I must say was by far the best guide I have ever encountered. Corey's knowledge and expertise not only extended to the fish and the area, but also to boats in general. Within minutes of conversing with him, I felt like I had known him for years. His ability to make me feel comfortable and at ease was truly remarkable. To top it all off, Corey helped me catch the biggest fish I've ever caught! His professionalism, respectfulness, and sense of humor made the trip both enjoyable and memorable. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate him a solid 10 without hesitation. I highly recommend Corey's services to everyone, from seasoned fishermen to novices. Even my wife, who isn't a big fan of fishing, was thoroughly impressed with Cory and his exceptional service. I had initial doubts about today's trip, but thanks to Corey, it turned out to be an incredible experience.

    Eric F. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time not just fishing but hanging out with Capt. Brantley. He’s a very knowledgeable angler and human in general. We didn’t limit out so we have an excuse to hurry back.

    Leslie W. with Brantley W. of San Leon, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Super friendly and accommodating captain

    Franklin W. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

    Captain Michael was a complete professional and knew what he was doing. Handled everything that was thrown at him from my inexperience to my tantrum having 5yr old. Helped my son catch his first fish and my son is already wanting to go back despite melting on the boat. Can't wait to go again!

    Justin C. with Michael M. of Galveston, Texas

    Our trip was great! Cody was very professional, patient, knowledgeable , and put us on the fish our first stop. I highly recommend him.
