🔥🔥 ABSOLUTELY UNREAL TRIP WITH CAPTAIN MIKE 🔥🔥
PM 5 Hour Trip on April 26, 20262 adults
I don’t even know where to start — this was hands down our BEST fishing trip yet!! We stacked it up: 🎣 2 speckled sea trout 🎣 5 black drum 🦈 2 Atlantic sharpnose sharks 🦈 2 massive 4 ft sandbar sharks Every fish was BEAUTIFUL and the action never stopped. Captain Mike had us on them the entire time — no guessing, no waiting around… just straight catching. The guy flat-out KNOWS what he’s doing. And it didn’t stop on the water… We made it home and just had the BEST shark steak I’ve ever eaten — melted in our mouths🔥 Huge shoutout to the wife Ashley for absolutely killing it in the kitchen like always!! Austin and I were blown away — and my son grinning from ear to ear said: “ I don’t think regular fishing will ever be the same after hearing that line zip! ” To see the excitement in his face and hear him chatter the whole 5 hrs home was why I signed up. Big Hats off to Captain Mike for an unforgettable experience with many more to come.  If you’re even THINKING about booking a trip — stop thinking and call Captain Mike. This is the kind of trip you remember forever. 💯 We’ll be back — no question.

Salty South Texas Hemmingway
3 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on December 30, 20251 adult1 child
Captain Mike was outstanding from start to finish. He’s easy to talk to, keeps the trip fun and relaxed, and knows Galveston waters inside and out. We caught sheepshead near South Levy, and it was clear he knew exactly where to put us for success. On top of that, he’s a true salty South Texas Hemingway—full of stories, character, and hard-earned local knowledge that makes the experience just as memorable as the fishing. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing guide in Galveston, Captain Mike is the one. I’ll be recommending him to everyone.

Great First Time Fishing Charter
4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on March 25, 20262 adults2 children
Captain Mike was fantastic and just what we needed for a family of 4 to experience salt water fishing for the first time. Captain Mike navigated to 5 or 6 differnt spots so we would be sure to catch differnt types of fish! We ended up catching 7 in total!! A Jack, a sheephead, bonnet shark, and 4 drums! Captain Mike then fileted them and we got to enjoy them right away at the Huli Huli Hut, per Mike’s recommendation! We had a great time!

Great shark trip !
4 – 5 Hour Shark Trip - 2:00 PM on August 2, 20252 adults1 child
Mike was great , we scheduled for Saturdays and after about 45 minutes on the water we got notice that a storm was coming and the water got decently worrying . Mike assured us that if we could not go back out we could come back Sunday morning and we definitely did . Started with a little jetty fishing got some Spanish mackerel and a spotted trout after that we got 2 sharks a spinner shark and an ultimately the black tip we kept. He was very accommodating and overall a great captain to book with . 10/10 will definitely be re booking our next trip to Galveston .
