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!

Absolutely phenomenal experience with Line Check Charters and Captain Josh!
6 Hour Trip — Nearshore Fishing on March 19, 20264 adults1 child
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.

⭐ 5-Star Review: From Hook to Plate! ⭐
4 Hour Trip - Bay & Jetty (PM) on November 29, 20252 adults
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.

Best Trip ever
4 Hour Trip — Shark & Bull Drum on November 23, 20254 adults
This was an amazing trip. Captain mike might possibly be the best captain on the water. He knew where the fish were, we literallly asked to cut the trip a bit short because we were worn out from catching sharks and red drum. sometimes all of our reels were hitting at the same time. I was suprised thinking mid November may not be good fishing. Captiam mike even filet some and told us about a restaurant that will cook yoir catch. eating our fresh caught fish really made a nice finish to the trip.

Cpt Mike and Payton were great. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The day before the trip Mike gave me a phone call and gave me more details on how to reach the boat slip and also how it looked for fishing the next day. before we launched to go fishing he gave us a safety rundown and we were off. We caught a ton of bull reds and sharks. He also got us a ton of pictures so we could focuse more on fishing. We are looking forward to booking future trips with him! Thanks Mike and Payton.
