Spend a fun day fishing the inshore waters of East Galveston Bay with Seahunter Adventures! Captain Martin has a lifelong fishing experience and he enjoys sharing it with anglers of all skill levels. His trips are family friendly, so even the little ones can take part in this action. These trips are not just about catching tasty fish, they also show you how amazing nature can be and how easy it is to make long-lasting memories with your loved ones.

Your trip starts on a 21' SeaHunt that has been refurbished a few years ago. There's more than enough room for 4 anglers to fish at the same time. This bay boat is powered by a 175 HP Suzuki engine and features GPS, fishfinder, and a live bait tank.

Capt. Martin's specialty is catching fish with light tackle and he'll show you the best ways to do it. He fishes with live shrimp and popping corks. Your main targets will be inshore species, such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. You can keep the catch after the trip if you're planning to eat the fish. Don't forget to bring your cooler, so you can save the fish for later.

There's no need to rent fishing equipment, since Capt. Martin covers it. Make sure to purchase your fishing license before the trip and prepare some snacks and drinks. It's recommended to bring sunglasses and a hat, especially if you're taking a trip in summertime.

Seahunter Adventures is ready for an inshore adventure. The only thing that's missing is you!

    Fishing with Martin

    Bay fishing trip on July 5, 2021 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Marty helped my 12 yo son stay engaged and encouraged through all the small trout we were catching. He also did a great job of dodging the storms and not giving up on the trip. Wasn’t a great day for fishing, but he made the experience fun!

    Pleasant day of fishing

    Bay fishing trip on August 22, 2021 • 3 adults

    Plagued by a full moon and recent rains, we did not catch as much fish as we had hoped, but Captain Marty did all he could to try and make it happen even keeping us out later than our set time frame The captain was very friendly and knowledgeable on the area pointing out many interesting facts along our journey to several fishing spots.
