About Your Guide

Dean M.

Outfitter 35 years of exp.

Captain Dean offers private Galveston fishing charters for Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder. Captain Dean focuses on fishing the Trinity Bay along the northern shoreline of the Galveston Bay Complex. He grew up fishing this body of water and has over 30 years of experience targeting Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder from Baytown to Smith Point.

Captain Dean works hard to put his anglers on fish, and he has an absolute blast in the process. Friendly and outgoing with a great sense of humor, there's never a dull moment fishing with Captain Dean. Very child friendly, he welcomes families aboard, as well as corporate groups, friends, and professional anglers.

Captain Dean fishes from a 24’ Triton center console boat with comfortable seating for up to 4 anglers. Fully equipped for a day on the bay, the Triton features a silent but powerful trolling motor, a large live well for your bait, and a speedy 250 HP Mercury engine.

Captain Dean also operates a 23’ Kenner center console, so you can be sure you'll be fishing aboard the most best boat for current conditions.

Captain Dean is happy to drift fish from the boat over shell and oyster reefs, and he's equally at home wading soft bottom shorelines for trophy Speckled Trout. Captain Dean's also happy to through artificial lures and/or live bait, and Captain Dean always provides Waterloo rods and a selection of spin casting and bait casting reels.

Just remember to purchase your Texas saltwater fishing license online and you're all set. Captain Dean provides live bait at an additional fee and is happy to clean and bag your catch free of charge.

Dean was an awesome guide. He provided everything we needed to make this trip one heck of an experience. We caught plenty of fish at a nice size and really enjoyed pulling them in. My son (13) caught the biggest one Lol you should've seen the smile on his face. It was PRICELESS! :) We caught drum and trout that day. I have to say we a had a Damn good time! We will be back for sure! Catching good fish like that was a Blast! Good eating and too easy to catch. Dean put us right on the fish. Oh yea and did I mention Dean also filleted all the fish for us and zip locked it. We got back to the house heated up two pots of cooking oil made ourselves a seasoned batter and dropped that Fresh filleted fish in one of the Hot pots of oil and then dropped some french fries out the bag in the other. Let me tell you, we had ourselves a fish fry that day Jack! Big Shout to Dean AWESOME GUY and GUIDE!!

If you've ever gotten on a charter boat with 50 other people and not had a good experience then you need to do a private Charter it is so worth the money fishing was okay and the captain Dean made sure we were looked after and had a good time.
