About Your Trip

Captain Bob will use his 40+ years of experience fishing the Galveston Bay complex to help you catch some trophy-sized fish!

Captain Bob specializes in "live croaker fishing" for big Speckled Trout from June - September. Live shrimp and artificial baits are the bait of choice during the other times of the year.

On these 6-hour (half-day) and 8-hour (full day) adventures, you’ll be fishing on Captain Bob’s 24' Kenner center console, powered by a 225 HP Evinrude E-Tec outboard.

Captain Bob furnishes all the bait and the finest in fishing tackle. Tackle includes "All Star" rods and "Shimano" reels. After each trip, Captain Bob cleans and bags the catch while the customers partake of a cold beverage or fine meal at the TopWater Grill located at his home port of April Fool Point Marina in San Leon, Texas.

Make sure you bring a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, food and drinks for the day, and a cooler to take home your day’s catch. Bob will provide all rods, reels, and tackle, but feel free to bring your own.

Come on down to La Porte, Texas, and make some memories with Captain Bob!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
