About Your Trip

Get ready for four hours of action-packed fishing with Captain Mike! You’ll launch out of Galveston Bait and Tackle. Once you depart, Captain Mike will take you to some of his favorite gigging spots. You’ll be targeting Flounder, Sheepshead, and Drum no matter your skill level, Captain Mike will lead the way! These trips can host up to 6 people, so make sure you bring some good company.

Flounder gigging is one of the easiest and most fun ways to stack these famous flatfish! You'll be out there on glassy water right as the sun goes down, using Mike's bright boat lights to spotlight the fish and make it easy to spear 'em. Whether you're a newbie or an old pro, you'll be able to hit your limit and head home with a cooler full of delicious fish.

Captain Mike requires you to bring a valid Texas Fishing License with a saltwater stamp. He will provide an ice chest for any food and drinks that you choose to bring. Let your mind escape from daily responsibilities and have a night on the water with Captain Mike!
