Start your day off right with a 6 a.m. departure on this nearshore trip off the coast of Galveston. Enjoy a six hour excursion, cruising up to 20 miles off the coast to reefs and other structures for bottom fishing. Captain Scott will use his knowledge and experience to help you catch several different kinds of trophy-sized fish, including Tarpon, Kingfish, Tripletail and Snapper.
You and up to five others will be aboard his 36 foot, top of the line Contender equipped with in deck fish boxes for large catches and a deck big enough to comfortably fit any crowd of 6 people or under. In addition to providing the boat, Captain Scott will also provide all the gear, set up the rods for you, and clean the catch at the end of the day. This outing is meant for people with any skill level making it a great option for a family trip.
This trip is offered year round, so you should be able to find an outing that works for you.
Captain Scott Hickman is the owner of Circle H Outfitters and Charters has been operating Galveston deep sea fishing charters full time for twenty years. Through those years, Hickman has learned how to catch giant fish and a lot of them. Whether you are looking to catch trophy sized red snapper deep in the Gulf of Mexico or trout right off the coast of Galveston, Captain Scott will be able to take you there aboard one of his two, top of the class vessels.
No matter what trip you decide to go on with Captain Scott you will have the choice between a 48' fully loaded Fountain Express Cruiser and a 36' Contender. The Cruiser is equipped with a full kitchen and two full bathrooms with showers and plenty of comfortable seating making it the perfect boat for a long day out at sea. The Contender is equipped with in deck fish boxes for your large catches and has plenty of deck space for you to wrestle them down.
Captain Scott will supply the bait and tackle, set up your rods, as well as clean and bag all the fish you catch, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the open sea.

Captian Scott has the science down. Very knowledgeable. We were hoping for snapper but he was able to explain they were about 50 miles out due to all the fresh water in the gulf. He put us on some nice fish and we all enjoyed this trip. PS his contender is top of the line!! See ya next time captain!
