Gulf Coast Yaker invites you on a thrilling Shark fishing adventure from the beach in Texas! A skilled and friendly captain will guide you and make sure you have the best fishing trip possible. Land-based fishing is a unique experience you should definitely try out if you haven’t yet. Book a trip today and enjoy an exciting day of fishing from the sand! All deposits are non-refundable. If a trip is canceled by the guide due to uncooperative weather/conditions or an unexpected event on the guide’s end (sickness, etc), trip credit remains in queue for rebooking. We will send a text to the provided phone number as soon as we are set up at the fishing location.
Fishing time usually starts at 10:00 a.m. if weather permits, or just let us know when you'd like to start your trip!! We don’t mind working with you.
All gear, bait, and tackle for Shark and Bull Red will be provided for the trip. Water will be available, just bring any other drinks or snacks you'd like along with any supplies you think you'd need for an amazing day at the beach (i.e. sunscreen, chairs, coolers if you'd like to keep your catch if legal size, BYOB, canopies, towels, insect repellent, etc). Due to the nature of fishing, we cannot guarantee to catch any fish. Nature will always do what it wants, when it wants. But we will guarantee it won’t be from lack of trying. We will always check the weather conditions a few days before a trip to see what might be happening. If we see any bad weather, we will contact you and let you know and come up with a plan best suited for your trip.
You will need to have your fishing license with your Salt Water Endorsement. Feel free to bring any other tackle and equipment needed for Speck, Croaker, Whiting, etc

There was no doubt that we were going to catch a shark once we arrived
4 HOUR (Evening) on September 20, 2025 • 9 adults
Gulf Coast Yaker's has plenty of photos on their site of customers catching sharks for a reason. They know exactly what they're doing and all of those photos are proof of it! Our group witnessed it first hand too and we were all in disbleif when we caught our first catch (a 4 ft shark) within less than 2 hours. BTW we only booked it for 4 hours so they are very efficient at what they do. Also, out of those 4 hours booked we really only had 3 hours because we were late due to us not knowing about the ferry we had to take to get there from Galveston. Even then, Gulf Coast Yaker's gave us the extra hour without even asking. That was very generous and professional of them, but it's easy for them to do because they're just doing what they LOVE to do. So to them it's not really work at all. You can tell they are genuinely passionate about fishing and just want to see their customers happy and having a good time. Our group had an AMAZING time andtill can't believe we caught our fist shark and we're looking forward to doing this again soon! We would defintely recommend them!
Pros:
- Professionalism (they know what they're doing)
- They'll keep you safe (as long as you follow their directions)
- Great for family and friends (no fishing experience required, that's what they are there for)
- Quick to respond
- Very easy going
- Fair prices
Cons:
- None

6 HOUR (EVENING) on November 2, 2025 • 5 adults
Love fishing 🎣 and know that not every time will you catch but we were able to catch a sandbar shark 🦈 that was 6 feet and around 150 pounds. Steven had everything setup before we arrived, fishing poles already ready, chairs, fire pit, and drone/kayak to take bait out far. Great experience and will do again soon. Also was able to catch a red drum that was around 40 pounds.
