What are the best fishing charters in Texas City?

Texas City Fishing Overview

Texas City is a prime destination for anglers seeking an authentic Lone Star State fishing experience. With access to three bays, this deepwater port offers a variety of fishing opportunities. The area is known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead, with Flounder being particularly abundant from April through June and October through December.

Fishing guides are readily available in Texas City, offering trips ranging from 4-8 hours. Half-day outings are ideal for beginners, while experienced anglers may prefer longer trips. The area offers a variety of superb angling spots, including the Texas City Dike, Moses Lake, and Swan Lake. Galveston Bay, located further out, offers even better fishing opportunities.

Anglers age 17 and older must have a TX fishing license, even when fishing aboard a licensed charter vessel. However, a license is not required when fishing in Texas state parks.

Texas City Bay Fishing

A prime starting point for bay fishing out of Texas City is the Galveston Bay Complex. Texas City has great access to Galveston Bay, East Bay, Trinity Bay, and West Bay isn’t far either. With these four famous fishing bays in such close proximity, it’s easy to see why the bay fishing out of Texas City is so productive. Redfish and speckled trout are popular year-round targets for this area. The Trout bite peaks in the spring with flounder heating up in the summer while bull redfish start pouring into the bays in the fall, and finally sheepshead bring the bite full circle with tight groups forming in the winter.

The year-round bite and rich waters make fishing in Texas City a truly memorable experience. Whether you want to chase giants or just have a relaxing day of fishing, this is the place to go.

Fishing the Texas City Dike

The starting point for any angler in the area is the Texas City Dike. This five-mile levee is the longest manmade fishing pier in the world and stretches out southeast from the city towards Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico. The dike is a favorite among locals for the great fishing opportunities and is a common place for charters to launch from. The most popular fish caught near the dike are redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, and flounder which make the inshore slam possible in one location.

Offshore Fishing Near Texas City

While Texas City is a bit further up the Galveston Bay Complex, Galveston is nearby and handles most of the offshore fishing action. You can head out into the gulf and hook up to giant sportfish like tuna, wahoo, and marlin with an offshore fishing charter in Galveston.
