Line Check Charters operated by Captain Michael Regan and Captain Eric cannot wait to show you the inshore/nearshore fishing in Galveston. The waters here are fantastic and will provide an awesome fishing trip for you and your family. For offshore trips, just check out his second listing.
The boat is a 27' KeyWest powered by two 200 HP Suzuki engines. She has high sides that will protect you from spray even on choppier waters, as well as all the navigational and safety gear you could ever want. All of this and still plenty of room on deck for up to 6 anglers to fish without crossing rods!
Galveston is a great fishing destination for a multitude of reasons, one of the biggest being how productive the area is. You will find yourself on the fish in no time at all - and the menu options are fantastic too!
You can expect to catch in the bay and jetty species such as large Red and Black Drum, as well as Gafftop Catfish, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and many more! There is also a huge variety of Shark species.
Depending on the season, nearshore fishing can also provide you with Ling, Bull Drum and King Mackerel.
Light and heavy tackle is provided, but more experienced anglers that wish to fly fish will need to bring their own equipment. For everyone else, you will be using tackle by Accurate, Penn and Shimano and fishing predominantly with live bait. A variety of bait and lures are brought aboard each charter depending on what the clients are interested in catching and how the fish are biting.
All that's left for you to do is book now, grab your fishing license, snacks and water, and meet Line Check Charters on the water!

Lets start off by saying Josh blew this trip out the park. He was very informative regarding the expected weather, and what to expect. We started the trip by catching our bait for the trip. Josh made sure we were able to cast our line, and catch more than we expected. If any of us did not know what they were doing, he made sure to be very thorough explaining what we needed to do. He made sure that we all enjoyed every part of our charter trip. Lets get to the catches, and THE CATCH OF THE DAY! while we were in the hunt for Red Drum, but were open to catching anything that hit out line. we caught two Red Drum, one medium size shark, then the moment of our day. The big Daddy of all Daddies, the 5 ft, Sand Bar Shark. This fella gave me the fight I didnt know I needed. The reel and pull was a muscle killer. While we were made aware that this prize of my life, would not necessarily happen, I could still give the good fight, to let him go. and then it happened, he snapped the line. but not before I got some surface photo and videos. At the end of the day, if you’re looking for a great host for a fishing charter, definitely go with Josh. He made our experience wonderful. 

Josh was on top of everything from start to finish. The weather wasn’t ideal, but it didn’t stop us from having an amazing time on the water. The kids were catching fish almost immediately after their lines hit the water, which made the trip even more exciting. We caught a great variety of fish, including catfish, sheepshead, ladyfish, speckled trout, and the highlight of the day, sandbar sharks. Josh was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great experience. We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing excursion for the whole family.
Capt Josh was great. Called the night before and recommended to slip our departure an hour due to forecast sea state. Great call. It was a rough ride out to the rigs, but he got us there smartly and my daughter hooked up with a nice Jack enroute. We did a quick troll for Kings with no luck, then my youngest immediately caught a 41" Cobia. Over the rest of the day we caught a 39" Cobia (throw back) and a handful of State Snapper (2 keepers). Capt Josh and his Mate were highly attentive the whole day. Most likely going back for the Bull Red run.

Redfishing with Captain Josh for the first time, and he was excellent! Knowledgeable, informative, friendly and an all-around good guy. We double limited on reds in just a bit over an hour and went on to chase a few boiling spots of Spanish mackerel but weren’t lucky enough to interest them. As usual, trip was an unqualified success.
We had two men, two teenagers, and a pre-teen on board, and Captain Josh delivered one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had. From the moment we left the dock, he put us right on the fish—nonstop action, great variety, and plenty of excitement for every age in our group. Captain Josh was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to fish with. He worked hard the entire trip, kept everyone engaged, and made sure each of the kids had their own big moments. By the time we headed back in, we were all smiling, worn out in the best way, and our freezer is now completely full. If you’re looking for a captain who knows the water, knows the fish, and knows how to create an unforgettable day for families, Line Check Charters and Captain Josh are the way to go. We’ll be booking again without hesitation.
STOP THE SCROLL! 🛑 You want Captain Michael Regan on your side! We faced cold, windy weather that would have sunk most trips, but Captain Michael and Payton of Line Check Charters found us a secluded spot where we pulled in flounder (& released-out of season)—then he took us out for the main event! 🎣 The result? A MONSTER 25 lb Red Fish! 💪 Reeling in that fighter was thrilling! From the exciting catch to having it filleted and cooked up fresh at Huli Huli Hut—this is a guaranteed memorable Galveston fishing experience. Book your trip with Line Check Charters! You won't regret it.
Captain Josh was excellent! He was friendly, professional, and made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end. We had a wonderful time and would gladly go out with him again. Highly recommend him!

Shout out capt Josh he's and solid captain knows what he's doing and makes the trip while worth it he got us onto 7-8 red fish and it was an amazing experience and all 3 of us caught a new Personal best fish!
Great trip on a gloomy day but we dodged the rain. Captain Josh worked hard to put is on the fish. We brought in a few bull reds which was nice. The only thing was Captain Josh set the hook for the Reds and handed the rod over to one of us to reel it in. I get it though, he didn’t want to lose a fish we fought hard to find due to an inexperienced person who didn’t know how to set the hook. I prefer setting the hook to own the fish. Josh worked hard though to keep us baited and fishing. My grandsons first salt water bay trip and he was thrilled!
I asked captian Josh to give my 11 yr old son a trip to remember and he FAR exceeded my expectations ! He put my son a once and lifetime fish (Tarpon) !!!! And we finished the trip with a 5ft shark ! I have done alot of fishing and Josh is one heck of a guide ! I will be back without a doubt ! true professional ! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime ! Jason
