About Your Trip

Get ready for an exciting night fishing adventure in Galveston, TX, with Captain Justen and his 23' Nautic Star bay boat. This trip is perfect for anglers looking to catch Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout under the stars!

Captain Justen is a local expert who knows the Galveston waters inside and out. With his guidance, you'll have the best chance of landing a trophy catch. He'll provide all the necessary equipment, including high-quality rods and reels, live bait, and artificial lures. You'll also have access to the latest fish-finding technology to ensure that you're in the right spot at the right time.

Fish behave differently at night, when there are fewer predators and baitfish can be illuminated by the moonlight. Many species are especially aggressive once the sun sets, so this can be an extremely rewarding time to go fishing!

As you cruise the waters around Galveston, you'll have the chance to take in the city's beautiful skyline at night. The calm and quiet waters provide a unique and peaceful setting for a night fishing trip. Plus, the cooler temperatures make for a comfortable and enjoyable experience during the hot Texas summer months.

Captain Justen's 23' Nautic Star bay boat is the perfect vessel for night fishing trips. With its spacious deck, comfortable seating, and plenty of storage, you'll have everything you need for a successful and enjoyable trip. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, Captain Justen will provide expert guidance and support throughout the trip.
