What types of sheepshead fishing charters are common in Houston?

Inshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for sheepshead in Houston as well as jetty fishing, nearshore fishing, and flats fishing.

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.

How much do Houston sheepshead fishing charters cost?

Prices for sheepshead in Houston can range anywhere from about $550 to $1,900, but the average price for a half day trip for sheepshead in Houston is $936. The average price for a full day trip for sheepshead in Houston is $1,237.

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.

    Captain Mike was hands down the BEST!! He beat us to the dock so that’s saying something. This Captain put us on the fish early and he kept us on them. No kidding box was full by 7:45am. Definitely a hell of a good time. Not sure if he realizes it or not he gained a customer for life with us.

    it was a great time and great first experience for my 11 year old son Tucker! Tucker had a blast and enjoyed every minute of it and especially the big bull red fish. he was excited for the 30 minute fight of trying to get the fish in the boat! great time! I tried to add the photos.

    Trip: Galveston Inshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Blake was amazing, he put us on big fish early in the morning and we caught fish the entire time we were out. He was super patient with my 9 year old grandson and 83 year old father. We caught some really big Reds, 2 of which we had to tag, lots of drum including the 2 trophies we had to catch and release of 32 & 40 inches. He will be our Captain of choice for future trips. He exceeded my expectations by miles.

    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.

    Captain Izzy provided an excellent fishing experience! This was my first solo fishing trip on a boat and I enjoyed every minute of it. Solid fishing and great conversations! If you're looking for a captain who knows his way around the water, secretly a fish whisper, I highly recommend him for a fantastic fishing trip!

  • ★★★★★
    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.
