About Your Trip

Come aboard with Capt. Ken for an action packed day of fishing on Galveston Bay! The Galveston Bay Complex offers access to one of the largest and most productive fisheries in the United States. Capt. Ken has 40+ years fishing the diverse waters of the Galveston Bay complex, which offers a wide assortment of bays, rivers, flats, bayous, back lakes, reefs, jetties & more.

Communicate your objectives, experience level, and target species & Capt. Ken will customize your trip based on the time of year, weather & tidal patterns. He has a broad range of experience, from fishing high profile Redfish & Trout tournaments, wade fishing for trophy trout, to teaching the basics to beginners & kids. Primary target species are speckled trout, redfish & flounder, but he will target other species if desired (i.e., mangrove snapper, sheepshead, shark, etc.). Whatever your ideal trip is, Capt. Ken will do his best to make it happen!

You will be fishing aboard a 21’ Parker Big Bay boat powered by a 2023 200HP Yamaha SHO engine. The Parker Big Bay is one of the most versatile boats on the market, offering shallow draft access to the flats and durability to handle big waves crossing open bays or fishing the jetties. She comes equipped with a Garmin GPS/Fishfinder, MinnKota I-pilot trolling motor (spot lock), live bait well, trim tabs, radio, dry storage and a removable Bimini top.

Capt. Ken will provide all rods, reels and tackle. All you need to bring is waders, wading gear, food & drinks. Come aboard with Capt. Ken & experience the awesome fishing the Galveston Bay Complex has to offer!

How did you get started guiding?

I began fishing Galveston Bay as a kid & fell in love with it. I decided to pursue this passion of mine and become a fishing guide in 2006.

What makes you different from other guides?

My experience and versatility is probably my best asset as a guide. I have logged hundreds of hours wading flats, shorelines and reefs with artificials, but also enjoy fishing live bait out of the boat. I split my time now fishing inshore, jetties and offshore.
