Galveston fishing

Galveston, Texas, has been called the best fishing spot in the Gulf of Mexico, and it has the finest fishing charters in the Gulf too. Galveston fishing charters are not only professional they are usually locals that have fished these waters all their lives, so they can use this experience to get you on the bite quickly. There are many places where you can fish in Galveston. There are fishing spots for every angler from the Bay to the Deep Blue, no matter their experience. The waters are also the home of most of the most sought-after fish for both their fight and their taste. Picking a Galveston fishing charter can help your chances of having a battle at sea and a cooler full of tasty fish.

The Galveston Bay and back bays are home to some of the hardest hitting, tastiest fish; Redfish and Speckled Trout. Also, delicious Flounder can be caught too. A day in the Bay or backcountry is a great place for families with small children, and some of the Galveston Bay fishing charters have specific charters aimed towards children.

You can go onboard, and they will teach you everything from baiting the hook to taking the fish off the hook and everything in between. But fishing in Galveston Bay is not just for beginners; Galveston inshore fishing charters are for seasoned anglers too. You will have an action-packed day of hard-hitting fish when they book a Galveston fishing charter because they know where the fish are and what is biting.

Only 20 minutes from the docks are the jetties that host many different species of fish. Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Tarpon, lots of different types of sharks; blacktip, bonnethead, bull shark, hammerhead, sand bar, tiger, nurse, dusky and more make their home in these structures. Your cooler will be full after a trip to the jetties with a Galveston fishing charter because the experienced captain and crew know all of the secret hiding spots to bring you to make your day the best it can be. Many Galveston fishing charters combine a day of back bay and jetty fishing in one charter. It is kind of like you get an inshore charter and then a glimpse of an offshore charter with many of the same fish you would get 20 miles offshore but with much calmer seas.

There is excellent offshore fishing 20 or so miles offshore where you can drop your line and hook up with a plethora of different fish. In these waters are Red Snapper and other Snapper varieties, Cobia, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Tarpon, Triple Tail, Triggerfish, Angelfish, Spadefish, Jack Crevalle, and Sharks. Being close to shore, it does not take that long to get out to the fishing grounds, and you can stay for a long time fishing to your heart’s content or till your cooler is filled, whichever comes first. There are many spots to fish in these waters, and if the first spot is not working, your Galveston fishing charter captain will take you to others that should prove fruitful.

To get the real deep water experience, you have to go for a minimum of 8 hours and better 10 or 12 to get out to where the monster fish are. Once there, you will be on the fish with action from the top of the surface with Billfish, Mahi, Tuna, King Mackerel, and more and from the bottom with Grouper, Snapper, and other bottom dwellers. There are 100’s of ledges, oil rigs and other water structures where the fish hang out waiting for your hook, and a professional Galveston fishing charter service will be able to take you to ones that they know will produce bites after bites. You can also go for overnight Tuna trips and multi-day trips.

Fishing in Galveston is a blast, and Fishing with a Galveston fishing charter is the best way to spend a day on the water. There are many charters available throughout the year. There are the 4 hour inshore and bay/jetty trips perfect for families, 6 and 8 hour trips offshore and 10 and 12 hour deepsea adventure trips. Also, in the Gulf in June and July, it is Red Snapper season, and there are charters for this very desired fish. You need to reserve your time well in advance because these charters sell out quickly.

There are also Shark trips, Tuna trips and Flounder gigging. Whatever fish you want to target and catch, all you have to do is tell your captain he will custom make your charter to meet all of your needs.
