What types of fishing charters are common in Baytown?

The most commonly sought after species in Baytown are: 1. redfish, 2. speckled trout, 3. flounder, 4. black drum, and 5. sheepshead.

The most common fishing techniques in Baytown are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and live bait fishing but drift fishing and bottom fishing are popular as well.

How much do Baytown fishing charters cost?

Prices in Baytown can range anywhere from about $500 to $1,950, but the average price for a half day trip in Baytown is $716. The average price for a full day trip in Baytown is $1,410.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for fishing in Baytown?

The most popular season for fishing in Baytown is summer, and most anglers book their trips 5 days in advance.

Do I need a Baytown fishing license and what are the bag limits in Baytown?

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.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Cody took my son and me out on a Friday morning. We caught a variety of fish including redfish, sheephead, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, and golden grouper (see photos). My son and I are a couple of novices. Cody was super patient with us. He helped us bait hooks, get lines untangled, remove pesky hardheads, etc. without ever seeming frustrated with us. He cleaned our fish the way we wanted. He took the time to teach us several tricks for catching fish. Overall it was a great experience and we plan to use him again in the future.

    Dave took my 8 year old son and I out and we had a great time! He did a good job putting us on some ducks despite less than ideal conditions and even less than ideal shooting by me! Already looking forward to getting back out with him later in the season. See you soon, Dave! -Joe D.

  • ★★★★★
    I had an absolutely great experience on this trip! Dave went to great lengths to prepare for the trip and make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. He is a very experienced hunter and got me on a bunch of great shots. He’s got a great boat and access to a bunch of secluded spots. Despite hot weather during early season, we still bagged a few ducks and Dave cleaned them for me at the boat launch. Highly recommend!

    Trip: Galveston Bay Grab Bag

  • ★★★★★
    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.
