Clear Lake Fishing Charters Capt Allen
+101Come experience your fishing adventure on beautiful Clear Lake and Galveston bay with Captain Allen. His mission is to safely maximize your time on the water and put as many fish in the boat as we can. Come relax, enjoy the water, and make lasting memories with your family and friends on his beautiful 23.5 foot, twin-engine center console fishing boat.
Come aboard; all skill levels are welcome. Seasoned anglers will be set up with gear and bait while less experienced anglers will be catered to as much as needed. Captain Allen is also happy to bait every hook and cast every line for beginners. We will primarily be fishing for Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout.
Your boat for the day will be a clean 23.5' deep vee center console Mako that accommodates up to 6 anglers. The deep vee hull, with its high gunnels, provides a safe, comfortable ride and offers greater range to get out to some of the more desirable fishing spots. The boat includes a large t-top for shade, deep live well, a toilet, and all the necessary fishing gear for your trip. When available, live bait is also included in the cost of your trip.
The boat will be supplied with plenty of ice and bottled water. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks to be stored in our boat cooler. Don't forget a fishing license for everyone over the age of 17.
You can keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal. Upon return to the dock, Captain Allen will filet all fish and pack it up for your ride home.
Up for a family trip? This is a child-friendly business, so bring your littles to share in the memories. Thinking of entering a tournament? Let Captain Allen be your guide!
Book your trip now and hit the water with Clear Lake Fishing Charters. It'll be one of the best things you do all year!

Great Captain - Perfect Host - Fantastic Time
Private Half Day Excursion (PM) on June 1, 2024
I can't recommend Captain Allen enough - we had an absolute blast fishing and boating in Clear Lake for the first time - we will definitely come back and book with him again. Not only did we fish but he led an amazing tour on a nice boat in a great location with nice amenities. He provided good fishing tips and offered nice equipment to use and he was a fun guy you'd always enjoy hanging out with and learning from! He shared secret fishing spots without crowds, history about the area and we saw diverse wildlife and caught loads of diverse fish - he even snapped a few photos of us on the trip. On top of that we enjoyed good music, a nice clean boat that was a pleasure to ride and then he filleted our fish so well a Michelin even chef would be impressed ... great captain - perfect host - fantastic time with friends. We're ready to go again anytime with Capt. Allen!

5 Hour Trip-Private (PM) on April 19, 2025
We had a blast with Capt Allen. He tried hard to get us on some keepers but the catties were the only biters today.. with an occasional ray and blue crab. We did come home with one oversized Red which Capt happily fileted for us.

Great Time in Galveston Bay and Clear Lake with Captain Allen!
5 Hour Trip-Private (PM) on March 13, 2025
We had an absolute blast with Captain Allen on Galveston Bay and Clear Lake! He got us on fish quickly and consistently, and coached us through reeling in some big ones, including both of our biggest fish ever, a redfish for me and a huge black drum for my husband. We're excited to take a load of fish back to Iowa - thank you Captain Allen!!

Midweek Special! PM on July 17, 2024
Captain Mark was great. The gear he provided was clean and well maintained. The boat was clean and came with water and gatorade. Captain Mark is professional, well organized, courteous and patient. We were a party of three and all of us amateurs. One of us had never been fishing before. (Of course he caught the biggest fish). Mark made sure all of us were fishing as much as possible. Can't say enough good things about him. We'll definitely be fishing with him again.
