6 trips running this season
Redfish, speckled trout, and black drum along the Galveston jetties and the flats behind them. The trip that fills first, and the one we recommend for a first charter.
Easy bay water, steady action, and a captain who is used to teaching first-timers. Built for a family morning, not a tournament.
Past the jetties to the near-shore rigs and reefs. Bull reds in the fall, kingfish and sharks most of the year, and the first real taste of open water.
A full run to the blue water for amberjack, king mackerel, mahi mahi, and whatever else is running. The trip for anglers who want open water and real bottom structure.
Booked around the red snapper season the Gulf Council sets each summer. The window is short and it fills fast, so this one goes on the calendar first.
The whole boat for the day, your route. Mix bay, nearshore, and offshore, or stay on one bite all day. Built for groups who want to call the shots.
We do not sell seats on a boat. We plan a day around what you actually want to catch.

Tom WhitfieldRed Snapper Special
Yes. Anyone 17 or older needs a Texas fishing license with a saltwater endorsement. You can buy a one-day license online before your trip, or bring your own. Our captain and vessel operate under a Texas All-Water Fishing Guide License.
Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice for every trip, plus fuel and a licensed captain and crew. Your first two fish per person are cleaned and bagged at no charge. Bring your own food, drinks, and sunscreen.
Safety decides, not the schedule. If we cancel for weather or sea conditions, you get a full refund or a free reschedule, your choice.
Let us know at least 48 hours before your trip for a full refund or a free reschedule. Inside 48 hours, it becomes a rain check toward a future trip rather than a refund.
The Gulf Council sets the recreational red snapper season each year, typically a window in summer. Dates are confirmed in late spring. Get on the list early for the Red Snapper Special, it fills fast once dates are announced.
Absolutely. The Half-Day Bay & Jetty and Family Bay Trip are built for first-timers and kids, with an easy run and a captain who is used to teaching as we go.
