Trip Overview

This ain't your average fishing charter. We're talking about a hands-on, in-the-water experience that'll get your heart pumping. Our trip is set up for three wade fishermen, so grab your buddies and get ready for some friendly competition. We provide the boat to get you to the hotspots, but the real action happens when you step off into the bay. You'll be using artificial bait to target some of Galveston's most prized catches. Don't worry if you're new to wade fishing - our experienced guides will show you the ropes and help you perfect your technique.

What to Expect on the Water

Wade fishing is all about stealth and patience. You'll be slowly moving through the water, feeling for changes in the bottom structure that might hold fish. We'll teach you how to read the water, looking for signs like bait activity or slicks that can lead you to the big ones. You'll need to bring your own waders, tackle, and fishing license. If you don't have gear, no sweat - we can point you to local marinas that rent everything you need. The bay bottom can be a bit tricky, so watch your step and take it slow. Before you know it, you'll be casting like a pro and hopefully feeling that telltale tug on your line.

Top Catches This Season

Galveston Bay is known for its excellent fishing year-round, but each season brings its own highlights. In the warmer months, you might find yourself in the middle of a topwater trout frenzy at dawn. As fall rolls in, the redfish action heats up, with bull reds cruising the shallows. Winter can be prime time for big speckled trout, while spring often sees a mixed bag of species as the water warms up. No matter when you come, there's always something biting in these waters.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Speckled Sea Trout: These speckled beauties are a favorite among Galveston anglers. Known locally as "specks," they're fighters pound for pound and make for some tasty table fare. Trout love to hang around oyster reefs and dropoffs. During summer, look for them in deeper water, but as it cools, they'll move into the shallows. The best part? A big trout exploding on a topwater lure is something you'll never forget.

Redfish: Ah, the redfish - also called red drum. These copper-colored bruisers are the bulldogs of the flats. They've got a distinctive black spot on their tail, and when they're tailing in shallow water, it's a sight to behold. Reds love to cruise the shorelines and grass flats, often giving themselves away with a big "push" of water. They'll test your drag and your arms, especially if you hook into a bull red over 27 inches.

Southern Flounder: Flounder might not look like much, but don't let their flat appearance fool you. These ambush predators are masters of camouflage, burying themselves in the sandy bottom waiting for prey. Catching a big flounder is all about finesse and reading subtle bites. Fall is prime time for flounder as they start their migration to the Gulf. When you hook one, get ready for some hard head-shaking and spirited runs.
