Crystal Beach Fishing # 1

Explore the Galveston Bay with Crystal Beach Fishing! Captain Ronnie has been fishing in the area for over 30 years and knows everything there is about these waters. He encourages hands-on experience, so he’ll always help you catch the fish on your own, not just watch him how to do it.

You’ll be fishing on a 25’ Haynie boat that accommodates up to 3 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine and reaches the cruising speed of 40 knots. Besides modern navigational electronics and safety gear, the boat also features a live bait tank and a cooler.

As you’ll spend most of your time on the inshore spots and flats, you’re most likely to catch Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum. You’ll have a chance to learn a lot, as you can switch from one technique to another, using drift fishing, popping, and spinning. All fish is yours to keep, so feel free to bring a cooler and keep it fresh till you get home.

All fishing equipment is included in the price, as well as some soft drinks. Feel free to bring other beverages and food, and don’t forget to purchase your fishing license.

The captain will meet you at his home, where you’ll have a parking space and leave from a private dock.

Crystal Beach Fishing welcomes you aboard for a day of pure fun!

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I have been fishing the Galveston Bay Complex for over 30 years. I love taking customers out to enjoy a morning on the water and showing them how to catch fish instead of them watching me catch fish. I live on the water in Crystal Beach, TX on Bolivar Peninsula. All equipment is furnished and your catch will be cleaned and bagged to take with you. Customers leave from a private dock with private parking at my home in Crystal Beach. Part of the reason I became a guide is so I could share my love of fishing with others.
