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 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.

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.
