Captain Mike’s Guide Service is located in Galveston and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Mike will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 5 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Shark, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, drift fishing, and popping.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 23’ Parker boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.
