About Your Trip

Embark on a fly fishing adventure with Captain Justin through Galveston’s huge expanse of sand, grass, and mudflats that provide plenty of opportunities to sight fish for tailing Reds! Captain Justin specifically targets Redfish but that doesn't mean you won't throw a fly at a cruising Black Drum or Sheepshead you see along the way.

Captain Justin offers half-day and full-day trips depending on how much time you want to spend out on the water. His skiff is a fantastic vessel for exploring the shallow waters, and can comfortably host you and one other person. You must have a Texas Parks and Wildlife Fishing License with a Saltwater Stamp.

Captain Justin encourages you to bring your own gear if you have it, but will also provide an 8, 9, and 10 weight rod for you as well. Captain Justin also brings a light tackle spinning rod along as well—just in case. He will also provide all the flies, terminal tackle, ice, and water to ensure a successful trip. All he recommends you bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, your sunglasses, and your Texas Saltwater Fishing License, otherwise, he'll take care of the rest!

Top stars for Captain Justin !! No only did we team up to land 12 out 15 redfish on the fly rod, but we had a great time fishing together. He knowledgeable of the Galveston backwater and highly skilled in positioning the boat for the cast and landing. A great person to fish with !!
