Target Species

We target a mix of iconic species inshore, nearshore, and offshore.

Sheepshead are popular in Galveston, known for their striped bodies and human-like teeth. Typically found around structures such as jetties, piers, and wrecks, they feed on crustaceans like barnacles, crabs, and shrimp.

Spotted Seatrout

Spotted seatrout are among the most highly prized catches on our inshore trips, known for their exciting fight and exceptional flavor. The peak season for speckled trout fishing typically occurs during the spring and fall months.

Shark

Off the coast of Galveston, anglers can find a range of shark species, including Blacktip, Spinner, Bonnethead, and Bull Sharks. The prime times for shark fishing vary based on the species and water temperature.

Cobia

Cobia are a highly sought-after eating fish, often found near floating objects like buoys, rigs, and shrimp boats. The best season for cobia fishing in Galveston is typically during the spring and summer months.

Red Snapper

Known for their hard fight and excellent taste, red snapper is one of our favorite species to catch. The peak season for red snapper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico is usually during the summer, from late May to late July.

Flounder are a fun-to-catch and delicious species we frequently target. The peak seasons for flounder fishing in Galveston typically occur in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are more moderate.
