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

How much do Galveston wading fishing charters cost?

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 on a wading charter in Galveston?

The most popular season to go on a wading charter in Galveston is summer, and most anglers book their trips 23 days in advance.

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

    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.

    We had a great trip with Captain Leb! We had all experience levels on our trip and he was able to help each of us in turn allowing us to go home with fish for dinner and some amazing pictures of fishes we had to throw back. Next time we are in town, we are planning another trip since we had such a great experience!!

    We had some free time while in Houston and booked a last minute fishing trip with Captain Leb. He was not able to take us out but set us up with Captain Colton. Captain Leb was very responsive and professional in making sure that everything was set up smoothly for us. And our trip with Captain Colton was great, had a great time catching a variety of fish. I highly recommend both Captain Leb and Captain Colton.

    Capitan Morgan and Colton were a blast! It felt like I was catching them as soon as the bait hit the water. The pair were also very easy to talk to. It felt like we were fishing with friends. They were so helpful, did a great job all the way around. I felt like I learned new things about the fish and the area. They also did a great job cleaning the fish and giving helpful tips on how to cook the catch of the day. While all this praise about the two mentioned above I hope it won't overshadow how great the fishing actually was. My husband catch his biggest catch while on this fishing trip! This was a surprise birthday celebration for my father in law, and he absolutely loved it. It was his first time going on a charter, and I can garentee we will be back again. My husband and I have been on several fishing charters, and this one definitely was one of the best. I'd highly recommend going here for your next fishing trip!

    Great experience from start to finish. We had a lot of fun on our fishing trip. Captain Leb was very knowledgeable and had everything we needed for the day. He helped teach all of us the ins and outs to catching reds and flounder. He even stopped in to this spot where we got burgers and he cleaned all of the catch we had. We will definitely be back again! Thanks!!
