What types of fishing charters are common in Galveston?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing in Galveston as well as inshore fishing, nearshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

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

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

How much do Galveston fishing charters cost?

Prices in Galveston can range anywhere from about $550 to $2,300, but the average price for a half day trip in Galveston is $690. The average price for a full day trip in Galveston is $1,371.

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 Galveston?

The most popular season for fishing in Galveston is summer, and most anglers book their trips 3 days in advance.

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

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    The trip with Captain Izzy on 7/20 was outstanding. I could have not picked a better guide for my experience. Captain Izzy was a pleasure to fish with, very knowledgeable and will without a doubt book a trip with him again the next time I’m in the Galveston area. Captain Izzy is very professional, the boat was immaculate, the gear provided was top notch. I only have exceptionally good words to say about my trip with him. I look forward to fishing with him again. Thank you Captain Izzy for an outstanding morning.
