About
These trips are typically a mix of bay or jetty fishing and fishing along the Galveston beachfront as well as nearshore waters. Depending on the weather and conditions, we may focus on the jetties or be fishing at rigs or bottom structure a little further offshore. We try to focus on the fish that are biting, instead of chasing the ones that aren't. You will have the opportunity to learn all about the marine environment and see cool sights in Galveston while catching fish and making great memories. Fishing for: Trout, Redfish, Sharks, Kingfish, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead and more.
What to wear
