All you need to bring is your drink of choice and comfortable clothes for the day. Please keep in mind that you will likely get dirty while fishing. During the summer months, temperatures can reach above 100 F degrees so be prepared with clothes that are appropriate. I will have a cooler on board with waters and ice for everyone where you can store your drinks and lunch. Alligator Gar are notoriously tough to catch but we will guide you through the entire process regardless of your experience level. Kids are also welcome on board.

He's happy to work with box experts and beginners alike, and loves showing "greenhorns" the wonders of saltwater fishing.

Baytown Fishing Overview

Located where Buffalo Bayou and San Jacinto River feed into the Galveston Bay Complex, Baytown is an ideal spot for inshore species to flourish. This provides an awesome jumping-off point for bay fishing. Having plenty of bays and backwaters means there are limitless places to target inshore species including redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and sheepshead. With excellent fishing upriver from Baytown and down into the rest of the Galveston Bay Area, you can catch fish almost anywhere. With numerous nearby bays, plentiful fish, and multiple ways to hit the water you are sure to have a fishing experience like no other.

Fishing the Bay Complex Around Baytown

With nearby bays like Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay, and Burnet Bay finding fish will not be a problem. The bite kicks off every year with speckled trout in the spring while flounder come on strong from summer into fall. Bull redfish take things up a notch during their migration in the fall and provide your best shot at landing a giant. When things cool off going into winter sheepshead stack up near structure and can provide all the action you can handle.

Despite these seasons, Specks and reds can be caught here throughout the year but the odds of catching a monster are slightly lower. No matter what season it is, there is always at least one species biting in Baytown. If you are looking for a less conventional approach to bay fishing, a kayak fishing trip will let you sneak around skinny water and experience getting pulled around while fighting a bull red!

Offshore Fishing Near Baytown

Although Baytown has all the inshore action you can handle, Galveston is more well equipped for offshore fishing. A quick drive down to Galveston will get you on a charter that can take you to the vast and productive bluewaters off the Texas coast. This area is home to incredible billfish and tuna fishing that will excite anglers of all experience levels.

    What awesome trip!!Mike is one of the best guides I have fished with! So helpful and knowledgeable! I can not go wrong fishing with him!

    We had the best time with Captain David! He was so nice and fun to fish with. I had never saltwater fished and he was very patient with me. She showed me how to bait the hook and did it for me until I was comfortable doing it myself. No judgement. He was an all around good guy! Took us to several spots and put us in fish every spot. We caught black drum, croakers and red drum. He took me to his Hail Mary spot ( shhh it’s a secret). And I caught a 15 pound Red Drum. He helped me step by step land it into the boat. It was so much fun and he was as excited as I was. We saw a mama and her baby dolphin and he took me as close as he could to them so I could get some pictures because he knew I was excited to see them. On the way back to the pier he told us some history and info about the things we were seeing. I will definitely book with Captain David next time we go down there.

    Captain David was great. The weather and the tide was working hard against us and he worked harder to put us on fish. Great trip with a quality guide, I will be back.
