About Your Trip

oin Captain Sammy for an unforgettable day of fishing on the pristine waters of West Galveston Bay! Whether you’re drifting in search of action or wading into the shallows to get up close and personal with the fish, Captain Sammy’s trips are designed to offer excitement and success for anglers of all skill levels. With his expert guidance, you’ll be targeting Texas’ most iconic inshore species, including Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Redfish.

West Galveston Bay is known for its productive fishing grounds, featuring a mix of grassy flats, oyster reefs, and winding channels that hold fish year-round. On occasion, Captain Sammy will venture just outside the bay to explore other nearby water bodies, ensuring you always have the best chance of finding a bite. Whether you’re chasing the thrill of a Speckled Trout strike, stalking the flats for tailing Redfish, or hunting Flounder along the bottom, Captain Sammy knows these waters like the back of his hand and will put you on the fish.

Your trip will take place aboard Captain Sammy’s 22’ SVT Tran Cat, a versatile fishing machine built for both shallow water and open bay fishing. With plenty of room for comfort and performance, this boat is perfect for drifting the bay or accessing the best wading spots. Whether you prefer to cast from the boat or get in the water for a more hands-on approach, Captain Sammy has you covered.

Captain Sammy provides everything you need to make the most of your trip, including rods, reels, tackle, and artificial lures. If you’d like to fish with live bait, just let him know ahead of time—he’ll have it ready for you at current bait camp prices. At the end of your trip, he’ll even clean and prep your catch so it’s ready to take home and enjoy. You’ll also have ice provided onboard to keep your food, drinks, and catches fresh throughout the day.

To make the most of your trip, be sure to bring a valid Texas fishing license, sunscreen, sunglasses, food, drinks, and an ice chest to take your cleaned fish home in. If you’re planning to wade, don’t forget your wading gear—it’s a fantastic way to experience fishing up close and adds an adventurous twist to the day.

Captain Sammy is committed to providing a fun and productive experience for all anglers, whether you’re a seasoned pro looking to refine your techniques or a first-timer eager to learn. His knowledge of West Galveston Bay, combined with his dedication to creating a safe and enjoyable environment, makes every trip a memorable one.

Book your fishing trip with Captain Sammy today and get ready to explore the beauty of West Galveston Bay while reeling in Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Redfish. It’s the perfect adventure for families, friends, or anyone looking to experience the thrill of Texas fishing!
