About Your Trip

If you're looking to have a blast on the water while filling your cooler with some of the best-eating fish that the Gulf of Mexico has to offer, this trip with Captain Michael is your ticket! He knows the Snapper-fishing hot spots well, and will do everything in his power to bring you a great haul. Sit back, relax, and wait for the reels to start screaming!

On this trip, you can expect to catch Red Snapper using bottomfishing and jigging techniques. Captain Michael is an expert at finding the fish and getting them on the hook. He'll make sure you have a great time and come home with a cooler full of fish!

You'll be fishing aboard a 26' Key West center console. She's perfect for this kind of trip, and she's powered by twin Yamaha engines with 500 total horsepower, so you can spend less time cruising and more time fishing. The boat is equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, and an icebox for your keepers.
When you come aboard with Captain Michael, you'll be provided all the tackle and bait that you need. All you need to bring is food, drinks (no glass please), sunscreen, a valid Texas fishing license, sunglasses, and a cooler for your catch. Fish cleaning is also available, so you can take your catch home for a delicious dinner!

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.
