Expert-Guided Galveston Inshore Fishing Charters

Galveston Jetty Trip: Redfish, Trout & More

Hey there, anglers! Ready for a real Galveston fishing adventure? We're talking about hitting the jetties for some of the best inshore action around. Our 5-hour morning trip is perfect for both seasoned fishermen and newcomers looking to land some trophy catches. We'll be chasing after speckled trout, redfish, and maybe even a doormat flounder if we're lucky. Trust me, there's nothing like feeling that first big hit on your line as the sun comes up over the Gulf.

What's the Deal?

Alright, here's the scoop. We're kicking off at 7 AM sharp - that's when the fish are biting and the weather's just right. You'll be fishing with a pro who's been working these waters for over a decade, so you're in good hands. We use both live and artificial bait, so you can try different techniques and see what works best. The jetties are like fish highways, and we know all the hot spots where the big ones hang out. It's a private charter, so it's just you and your crew - up to 6 people. No sharing the boat with strangers here.

Fishing the Jetties

Fishing the Galveston jetties is an art, folks. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on what's biting. Sometimes we'll be casting soft plastics along the rocks, other times we might be free-lining live shrimp. The jetties create a perfect structure for fish to hide and hunt, so we'll be targeting those sweet spots. We've got top-notch gear on board, but if you've got a favorite rod, feel free to bring it along. Just remember, the jetties can be rough on equipment, so don't bring anything you're too precious about.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's a reason our trips are often booked solid. It's not just about the fish - though we catch plenty. It's about the whole experience. The way the sun hits the water as we're heading out. The sound of the gulls and the smell of the salt air. And yeah, the rush when you're reeling in a big red that's fighting you every inch of the way. Our regulars say it's like hitting reset on life, even if it's just for a morning.

Fish You'll Want to Hook

Speckled Trout: These guys are the bread and butter of Galveston inshore fishing. They're quick, they fight hard, and they taste amazing. We usually find them in 3-6 feet of water, often right up against the jetty rocks. Spring and fall are prime time for big specks, but we catch them year-round.

Redfish: Now we're talking about some real bruisers. Redfish, or red drum if you're feeling fancy, are the bulldogs of the bay. They'll test your drag and your arms. Look for that characteristic spot on the tail when you bring 'em in. Fall is the best time for big bulls, but slot-sized reds are around all year.

Flounder: Ah, the mighty flatfish. These ambush predators might not look like much, but they're a blast to catch and even better to eat. We typically target them in the cooler months, especially during their fall run. If you hook one, get ready for some head-shaking action.

Sheepshead: These striped convicts are tough to hook but worth the effort. They hang around structure and have teeth that can crush barnacles, so make sure your hook-set is solid. Winter and early spring are prime sheepshead seasons.

Time to Get On Board

Listen, if you're still reading this, you're probably itching to get out on the water. I don't blame you. There's nothing like a morning on Galveston Bay, rod in hand, waiting for that next big strike. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just want to enjoy some quality time on the water, we've got you covered. Remember, we've got a 1-week cancellation policy and require a deposit to lock in your date. The fish are waiting, and so are we. Let's make some memories on the water, shall we?
