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.

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 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.
