Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
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!

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.

Captain Josh was very professional and experienced. It was my 11yr old Son’s first time on the water, we’re already planning for another trip! Caught Red snapper, Sand Trout, Gaftopsail Catfish, Hardhead Catfish, and a few other species, in the last 5 minutes of the trip we pulled in a 43” red!
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.

This was a great trip, would definitely go again. It was a very windy day, almost enough to cancel. 2 of our party of 5 got seasick, but Captain Josh was understanding and very professional. We ended up going in after 4 hours due to that. But we came back with 6 keepers , (sheephead and red fish) and a nearly 50lb stingray! we threw back a smaller stingray and a few catfish. Thank you Captain Josh, you were great!)
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
Captain Josh was absolutely amazing! we had theee adults and three kids 10 and under and he was great with them! each of our kids felt special and forbus adults it was a trip of a lifetime. My husbad, dad and son both caught a huge drum fish and we caught so many salt water catfish we had to stop. Captian Josh knew exactly where tk take us to make are shark fishing dreams a reality. I cant discribe how awesome this was! inwould recommend this group to anyone abd already have! We WILL be back!!
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.

Josh was an awesome captian! He helped out the newbies of the group with baiting and casting. The water was a little rough for our trip but he kept the boat in amazing control making sure everyone was not only safe but felt comfortable with the waves. Caught some good fish and a shark! Super cool experience! Thanks Josh!!
