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.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Captain Mike’s Guide Service.

4-5 Hour Shark Trip PM

Great shark trip !

VERIFIED
NEW

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 .

Captain Mike is awesome. He put us on fish from the get-go and took us around the jetty and a good way into the bay for a chance at sharks after asking us if we wanted to try for the big fish (which we hooked but no keepers). Looking forward to our next time out!

Nothing speaks better than a cooler filled with a limit of speckled trout + Spanish mackerel, sheepshead, and pompano. Mike put us onto fish all day and we caught a lot of big fish and a lot of small fish. 5 stars would recommend.
