Out Cast Fishin Charters operates from Galveston, Texas, offering saltwater fishing charters across inshore, nearshore, and offshore waters.
The fleet includes Sea Hunt and Contender boats ranging from 24 to 36 feet, matching trip types from bay and jetty outings to long-range offshore excursions up to 100 miles. Trips are offered as half-day, full-day, and specialty excursions such as 6-hour shark hunts.
Anglers can choose targeted trips including Texas Trophy Adventure for Trout, Redfish, and Flounder; multiple MONSTA Hunt heavy-tackle trips for Bull Reds and Black Drum; IT'S A MONSTA Shark Hunt trips for Blacktip and Hammerhead encounters; and Deep Blue offshore trips chasing Blackfin Tuna, Mako Sharks, Sailfish, Amberjack, and Red Snapper during applicable seasons. Combo specials pair bay and jetty fishing with MONSTA Hunts, while Flounder Expedition and Snapper Smacker trips focus on specific species.
All gear and tackle are provided on charter trips, and crews handle filleting and bagging of legal catches. Guests are asked to bring a valid Texas fishing license along with personal snacks, drinks, and a cooler when noted. Charter lengths, boat assignments, and catch-processing services are specified per trip listing.
Out Cast Fishin Charters lists approximately 26 distinct trips across multiple boat platforms, giving anglers options for family outings, heavy tackle fights, and offshore pelagic action in the Galveston area.
Reservations and trip availability vary by season and boat; anglers are encouraged to review specific trip descriptions for duration, passenger limits, and equipment provided before booking, to confirm dates, pricing, and departure times.
