About Your Trip

Head out for an unforgettable fishing adventure with Captain Charles in Galveston, Texas! With a deep love for the sea and extensive knowledge of the best fishing spots, Captain Charles offers a day filled with live bait, light tackle gear, and lasting memories. Step aboard his meticulously maintained 24 ft Kenner bay boat, powered by a powerful 250hp Suzuki engine, and explore the sparkling waters of Galveston Bay. Whether you prefer live bait or artificial lures, Captain Charles has you covered with a well-equipped tackle box.

Trips typically depart from Galveston Bait and Tackle shop for easy access to prime fishing locations, but when the fish are calling from the north, he'll head to Buddy's Marina.

Charles was a great guide. The bite was slow that day for everyone but he made the day so enjoyable for me and my father. He was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and feeding habits of the fish. He helped cast for individuals who had trouble casting and gave tips on how to cook and prepare the fish we caught. We will be booking with Captain Charles again when we come back, highly recommend.

Captain Charles is a phenomenal guide. He was punctual, polite, operated his boat professionally, and made us feel comfortable. He put us on the specks right away. our first cast landed a keeper spec as soon as it hit the water. we ended up with 7 keeper specs and 2 drum. we caught a 19' 8" redfish but it was just a little shy of a keeper. Captain Charles really knows where they are and...

Whenever I'm in Galveston or Houston for conventions group of us charters a fishing trip.
Charles put us on fish and we put a variety of species in the boat...no limits, but fishing was steady. He unhooked and baited us up all day.. We typically fish CC to Pt Isabel in the Laguna Madre 15 or more times a year and boat 50 plus Trout each limits oof reds drum and flounder. We are experienced and I have a 23' Shoalwater and have fished the area since I was 10 years old. I have won numerous inshore tournaments inncluding THe Pt A DSR twice and Pt Mansfiield Tournament. over the years. Capt Charles knows the water and we found working bait... ifyou got baitfish... you have preditors. Great trip.
