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

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

How much do San Leon 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.

    5 stars!! He was awesome and really tried to get on some fish. We learned so much and he answered all out questions and even non-fishing questions.about the area, history of Galveston, area attractions etc. He was amazing and we are so thankful we had this experience with Captain Shannon.

    Overall today was just to hot of a day. We saw a lot of birds and David done everything above and beyond to get us on birds but the birds just weren’t cooperating. But definitely a good time. David did give us a rescheduled hunt and maybe the cold weather and birds will move in. David is definitely the best guided service we have been to and we will definitely be rebooking in the future

    We were down fishing with Chris for a buddy's bachelor party and had an awesome time out there. Chris warned us ahead of time that conditions were tough, but we decided to brave the elements. Chris took us around to multiple spots all across West Bay. He put us on countless trout under the birds before we had to make it back. Will be back and can't wait, thanks Chris! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    We got out with Capt. Mike on my buddy's bachelor party and had a time and a half! We had guys that fish and lot and some that hadn't fished in a while. Mike was great with everyone and put us on redfish, black drum, and some nice speckled trout even though conditions were pretty tough. Will be back down to see you soon! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Trip: Bay and Jetty Trip - 26' Century

  • ★★★★★
    Capt Jonathan's experience & knowledge put us on over 2 dozen bull Reds on a day made for duck hunting, with rain 🌧 bands most of the trip. But like a good Capt, Jonathan knows not to fear the wind but to instead uses it as an advantage by fishing the consealed wind blown areas where the winds push the bait to the fish. DON'T Fear the Wind and DON'T pass up a fishing trip with Capt Jonathan. God Bless and Tight Lines.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Charles is a phenomenal guide. He was punctual, polite, operated his boat professionally, and made us feel comfortable. He put us on the specks right away. our first cast landed a keeper spec as soon as it hit the water. we ended up with 7 keeper specs and 2 drum. we caught a 19' 8" redfish but it was just a little shy of a keeper. Captain Charles really knows where they are and puts you on them! I highly recommend Captain Charles!
