About Your Guide

David D.

Independent Guide 34 years of exp.

Captain David is no stranger to Galveston fishing charters. He started fishing Galveston Bay with his dad in the 1960s when he was just five years-old. In 1988, he became a Galveston fishing guide while working at the YMCA as a Childcare Director. By 1990, he combined his passion for fishing with his experience working with kids to take the leap into full time guiding. Ever since, he's been known a family-first guide who's excited to show new anglers the ropes chasing Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder throughout Galveston Bay.

Captain David fishes from Eagle Point Fishing Camp, centrally located on Galveston Bay. When you arrive, you'll find Captain David waiting patiently for you at the docks. Following a brief safety orientation, you'll load up your personal items, and will be on your way to hunt the waters of Galveston Bay.

All fishing charters include rods and reels, live bait, ice, and complimentary fish cleaning.

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.
