trip description for Galveston Summer Fun Trip in Galveston

If you've been looking to beat the summer heat down in Galveston, TX, then this is the trip for you! Join Captain Michael and get out there to catch some Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder—known as the "Texas Triple" or the "Texas Slam" if you catch all three in one day! You'll be fishing with live bait, bought for a small additional fee at the dock. Reds and Speckled Trout love to hit live bait, especially shrimp, so you can expect some big bites on this trip!

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

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.

    Mike was great with our two kids. He was extremely patient and chill even during a situation where some equipment got damaged. We went to several different spots to find the fish, and he let everyone fish to their ability.

    Captain Mike was incredible! I booked this fishing trip for my husband and brother in law as a surprise for Father’s Day and he was very patient and thorough with me. (I knew nothing about fishing). He is also very kind and his fishing skills are top tier! And best of all he definitely helped them catch some pretty nice size fish! We will definitely be booking Captain Mike again.

    Bill and Dylan were our guides. They did outstanding! We had a great time. They were both very attentive to the experienced and inexperienced people on our trip! We caught a ton of fish, and a few sharks. We appreciate all their hard work and would recommend the two of them for anyone's future fishing needs!

    Cody did an excellent job. He got us on fish quickly and made the experience fun.

    Wendell J. with Blake S. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Storm the day before put the bite off, but we caught lots of Catfish, several near 5 lbs, so my grandson enjoyed that. Capt Mike worked for his money, constantly repositioning the boat to our advantage & taking us out to try for Sharks upon our request. He kept the language clean, which, knowing alot of Sailors, was a bonus...He also made sure my grandson had an approved life vest & hooked and passed a couple of the bigger fish to him. Overall, I'd charter with him again for sure. A+++

    Robert E. with Mike E. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip, he took my Dad and I out and put us on some specs.

    Jacob M. with Blake S. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had an excellent time with Captain Mike. He not only takes you to where the fish are but educates you on how to fish for a particular species. Very kind and very knowledgeable. II wish I could give him more than 5 STARS. I will definitely use Mike as my future guide.

    Tim S. with Mike C. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time with Captain Steve and Chris. They were very knowledgeable about the areas and where good spots to fish were. We visited several different spots inshore and caught tons of fish! They were absolutely incredible when it came to showing us how to use the fishing poles, bait the hooks and helping us once we caught the fish. If we had any questions/issues with the poles, they helped us out. My family and I had an incredible time with them and were surprised at how much we caught! Captain Steve even cleaned the fish for us and bagged up the fillets so we did not need to worry about that. All around great time and my family is already talking about taking another trip out with them later this year.

    Nicholas Y. with Brandon M. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
