Hit the water with this memorable fishing experience off the coast of Galveston. There are lots of locations you can visit along this 6-hour (3/4-day) or 8-hour (full day) excursion, and Captain Rick Vallone will make sure you find fish wherever you go, including flounder and black drum.
Don't worry about bringing any fishing gear because everything will be waiting for you on the boat. Captain Rick will provide all Shimano reels, including TLD 25s, 50s, a set of Shimano Nexave 6000s, as well as small open-face spinning reels for smaller fish.

Very few know the waters off the coast of Galveston like Captain Rick Vallone. He has been fishing the Gulf Coast since he was 5 years old and competitively in tournaments since 1997. Vallone always wanted to run a small charter business, so he and his family decided to start one called Fish On Charters. Captain Rick has been leading folks on trips for over 10 years and hopes to continue for years to come!
Captain Rick enjoys throwing lures in the Bay, and he believes that the weather conditions and targeted fish determine what style he'll use. But if you like using some particular styles, he can make that happen too. Additionally, no matter what trip you choose to go on with Captain Rick, you can be sure you will have all of the equipment you need.
