Galveston Bay Fishing Charters

This is one of our most popular year-round fishing experiences, perfect for anglers of all skill levels. Join us as we target some of Texas’ most iconic species at Galveston’s top fishing spots. On these trips, we want you to have a rod in hand, actively fishing and enjoying bent rods and plenty of smiles!

Target Species

We’re targeting BIG fish along the Galveston Jetty and the Galveston Shipping Channel, with species including giant bull redfish, black drum, trout, shark, and the occasional flounder.

For most of the year, we use a mix of live and fresh cut bait—casting heavy rods and waiting for those big hits. Shrimp is a popular live bait choice around the jetty and shipping channels, while for cut bait, we typically use shad and mullet, depending on what’s in season. If we catch any fresh sand trout, we’ll dice them up as they make excellent cut bait!

Where We Go

Our location offers unbeatable convenience for accessing some of the most iconic fishing spots around Galveston. Depending on the season and weather, we’ll target either the Galveston Jetties or the Galveston Shipping Channel in the bay.

The Jetties are just a 30-minute run, where we target big bull reds, monster black drum, and more, depending on the time of year.

The Bay is a quick 15-minute run, where we’ll look for working birds and bait, giving you the chance to hook the legendary Texas Slam!

What's Included

We’ve got everything covered! When you arrive at the Harborwalk Marina, the boat will be fueled up, the rods will be rigged, and the cooler will be stocked with ice. Your professional, USCG-certified captain will have the bait ready for your Galveston jetty fishing trip and will be there to assist you every step of the way.

Safety is our top priority on all our jetty and bay fishing charters. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you prefer when it comes to rigging bait and handling fish. We want you to capture that epic moment and create lasting memories, all while ensuring safe and proper fish handling.

What To Bring

Come prepared for the weather with comfortable clothing and sun protection. We’ve got a cooler stocked with ice, so feel free to bring your own waters, snacks, lunches, and other beverages for the day. Your captain will reach out before your trip to go over what to bring in more detail, and we’re always here to answer any questions you may have.

Guests over 17 years old will need a Texas Saltwater Fishing License. If you need any help ordering the proper license, just let us know! Also, if you plan to harvest a redfish, you’ll need a Texas Red Drum Tag.

For seasickness, we recommend taking medication the night before and the morning of your trip for the best results. Make sure to use non-drowsy medication for your comfort.
