Climb aboard with Captain Meghan and explore the Jetties of Galveston Bay on her 21’ Mako! These charters are great for any level of fisherman, and especially for families with children. However, you must be at least five years old to ride this ride! On this trip, you'll target classic Texas sportfish, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and even Sharks! Once you're off the dock, you'll head 5-6 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, fishing both the North and South Jetties. These jetties are a perfect place for fish to congregate, so you can expect tons of rod-bending action once you're out there. Captain Meghan's 21' Mako center console can accommodate up to 6 people, so bring some friends! She'll provide all the gear you need, so all you need to show up with is a Texas Saltwater Fishing License, some food and drinks, and an ice box for your catch!

Galveston Fishing Charters

If you’ve made it to this page, you’ve got your priorities in line! Fishing charters in Galveston, TX offer an unmatched breadth of year round fishing opportunities targeting a variety of inshore, nearshore, and offshore fish species for anglers of all skill levels. Let’s dive in!

Galveston Inshore Fishing Charters

The most popular fishing in Galveston is undoubtedly bay fishing, or inshore fishing for the Lone Star State slam: redfish, speckled trout, and flounder.

Our Galveston fishing guides love their immediate fishing access to West Bay and San Luis Pass, East Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay up north at the mouth of the Trinity River, and the Houston Ship Channel, a deep channel running from Houston through Galveston Bay, through the Galveston jetties, and out to the Gulf of Mexico.

Leaving from Galveston mainstays like the Galveston Yacht Basin and Galveston Bait & Tackle, your guide will have their pick of the little across these prime fishing spots, all a short run from launch.

Redfish fishing is truly fantastic year-round given Galveston Bay’s thriving population of healthy reds. While summer fishing for redfish is Red Hot, the best time to chase reds is August through November as redfish gorge on shrimp, mullet, shad, and crabs ahead of the colder winter months.

Redfish can be caught using live bait, dead bait, artificial lures, and even on the fly in Galveston’s shallow backwaters. If requested after bookings, our guides will provide bait to make sure they’re chomping on what you’re throwing.

Speckled Trout fishing is also world-class across Galveston Bay, and West Bay specifically is quietly becoming one of the best spots on the entire Gulf to catch an elusive 30-inch trout.

Speckled trout feeding habits match the seasonality of redfish, and can be caught year-round with August through September being best.

Another fan favorite in the Galveston area is the flounder. Galveston flounder fishing is truly world renowned thanks to the fall and spring runs where thousands of flounder migrate their way into Galveston Bay and back out to offshore waters.

In addition to these headliner target species, Galveston is home to Black Drum and a wide variety of ferocious shark species. All of the above species congregate to feed at the Galveston jetties, making these 4-hour trips some of our most popular across the board.

Check out our 2023 red snapper season page for more details on limits, dates, and top trips.

The pinnacle of the Galveston deep sea fishing scene are offshore tuna trips. Head 80+ miles out to the Texas offshore oil rigs like Nansen and Boomvang, our troll the fertile waters of the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary in search of Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and even the elusive Blue Marlin.

These species lurk year-round out there, and you can catch tuna free lining chunk bait and casting topwater lures. There’s nothing like a school of tuna bubbling at the surface 100 miles out!

    Absolutely Amazing! Our trip couldn’t have started off better. All details were laid out the day prior and we arrived at the marina at 6:45am for a 7:00am departure. It was a beautiful morning, couldn’t have asked for better weather. Our captain, captain Corey, had everything ready to go and we were on the water and on the way to our fishing location on time. Corey, although very young, was an absolute professional and was just as excited to go fishing as we were! Enough can’t be said about that kid. He was on it from the time we arrived until the time we left the marina. Corey had us on the fish from the first line getting wet, and we had a great time. The equipment we used for our 4hr trip was everything we needed, and allowed us to land a lot of fish. I would never hesitate to recommend this charter and captain Corey for anyone looking to land fish and have a great time doing it!

    I found chartering through Captain Experiences really easy and the trip we had was great. We had such a good time with our Captain Jonathan and his first mate.

    We sought after a fishing trip for our son's 12th birthday since he had never been saltwater fishing before and loves to fish. After searching online for hours we came to the conclusion that Captain Experiences check all the boxes of what we were looking for. The online booking was easy and communication was fast. Our guides, Saul and Aaron were very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. We were able to snag a big one and come away with some great memories. We look forward to booking again soon.

    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 Corey and his exceptional service. I had initial doubts about today's trip, but thanks to Corey, it turned out to be an incredible experience.

    Captain Burke was great ! He was there with a fresh rod when we got snagged on the rocks. Baited are hooks every time and engaged all of us in conversation. Later in the trip we went after sharks and that was the best part. He dropped us right on top of the sharks and everyone of us caught a shark. We had a great time and can’t wait to go again!

Damn Good Guide

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. 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

This trip is perfect for those who love some excitement while fishing. Trying to bring in one shark is an action packed sequence, but getting to do it for 4 hours straight is 100% pure adrenaline. It's not uncommon to catch 10-20 sharks on any given trip, so make sure you are well rested. If you are not looking for a super intense shark hunt, don't worry! Captain Shawn can tailor the trip based on your preferences. Some of the sharks you may catch include Blacktips, Bulls, spinners, Hammerheads, bonnet head, antlantic sharp nose, and sand bar but you truly never know what's looming below the surface. Book a trip to find out! Read More
