Captain Eric got us out earlier to avoid the heat and wind, which we greatly appreciated.  Once we started fishing, it was pretty much solid action. We caught our limit on red fish, and snagged a shark as well. We stayed until we were too tired to reel in any more and headed back early per our request. Fish were cleaned and even got some cooking tips. 100% recommend. If you’re out of shape, be prepared to hurt a little the next day! Thanks Captain Eric!

Had to put my boat in the shop for maintenance and was having fishing withdrawal, so a friend recommended Line Check charters.. went out with Eric Thursday morning and had a great time! Even though the weather wasn’t cooperating and neither were the fish that day. We got into a good school of fish mixed with trout and Spanish mackerel.. had fun catching both on top water plugs and live bait,  caught several undersized trout and were able to put a few keeper trout in the boat along with a very nice keeper spanish.. we ran away from the rain to another spot and put a nice reddish in the boat along with a nice size Bonnet head shark. I’m not one to typically keep shark but Eric told me Bonnet shark are the best eating, so he bled it out and fileted it up for me along with all the other fish. Had a great time and learned a few things and definitely recommend going out with these guys! I’ve been on several guided bay trips in galveston the last few years and Line Check has certainly impressed me the most!!

We showed up to the docks around 5:30 AM, Captain Eric was ready to roll. We immediately set out to catch some live bait. My boys and I proceeded to catch a little over a dozen small trout in about 15 minutes, he knew all the right spots. My boys were really excited about trying to catch some sharks, and captain Eric knew exactly where to go. Once we headed out into the deeper waters, it was all hands on deck. We didn’t have the lines in the water more than 10 minutes before shark after shark was hitting the lines. Black tip, sand bar, and a rare silky. Captain Eric put us right on the money and didn’t stop for the entire trip. 4 hours was all we could handle. If you’re looking for a guide, look no further. The entire family gives captain Eric a 10/10

Captain Eric was awesome.  Unfortunately due to weather there was 20 to 30mph winds. Spoke with the captain the day before and it sounded like we would not make the trip.  Decided to go anyways and stay inside the harbor. Was a great trip. My two boys loved it. They easily caught over 30 trout. Even went out into the bay for about 30 minutes and Capt Eric hooked me up on this shark.  Had to cut the trip short due to some sea sickness but in the 3 hours we spent 80% of the time reeling in fish. Would definitely go back. Bottom line is Capt Eric took a bad situation and turned it into an experience my kids will always remember.  A+++

Captain Eric makes you feel like you are hanging out with a lifelong friend. He’s funny, he’s a great teacher and most of all he puts you on fish! If we ever come back to Galveston we will book him again. He said one of the Red Drum we caught was rare due to the extra spots. I swear the fish were bigger than me! My husband had a blast too as you can see with his smile!
