Shallowater Bay Adventures
Shallowater Bay Adventures runs angling trips out of Lutes Marina and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.
Capt. Captain Kevin aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! He fishes West Galveston Bay, Bastrop, Christmas Bay, and Chocolate Bayou.
Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning. You’re looking at 5 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Flounder, Redfish, and Speckled Trout, depending on the weather and time of year. If you’re looking to catch a trophy trout, he loves to coach others on his techniques November through March.
You’ll be fishing from a 25’ Gulf Coast boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers at any single time. It makes getting to the fishing spots quick and easy as you ride in style, enjoy the scenery, and have loads of fun. It also includes an ice box and wireless trolling motor.
The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Shallowater Bay Adventures.

Had a very fun and successful day of fishing with Captain Varga. Kevin knows his stuff and the areas he fishes.

Making memories with Capt. Kevin
Let me start off by say….CAPT. KEVIN IS THE MAN!!! When you’re searching for your next saltwater adventure, look no further than Shallowater Bay Adventures. Capt. Kevin is just short of a Saint. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the waters, targeted species and the list goes on. If you’re looking for a family fun expedition on the water…look no further. Capt. Kevin is just what we needed! My mom, 75, and three kids, 15,15,8 were beyond thrilled of how easy going our Captain was and engaged with them like he was part of our family….and as far as I’m concerned, he is. Most of us work hard for our money and Shallowater Bay Adventures respects that fact and pays it back in spades!

If I could rate higher than a 5, I would!!!
I can't say enough great things about Captain Kevin! I told him a couple species we'd like to catch, but we were open to catching anything and everything for fun, and that I wanted my 17 yr old son to have the most memorable trip ever, and boy did he know where to take us!! We caught so many fish!! We caught big fish, (well my son did :)), fish too small to keep, ones that were fun to reel in, and ones you didn't even want on the boat. With those we took a picture, cut the line, and rig up for another cast to catch more. He was so much fun! Not to mention his boat has an amazing sound system and he played great music for us which made what little time we had with no bites go by so much faster. No doubt he would be great with any group of adults, but most definitely amazing with kids and families. He's definitely experienced, and wants everyone to catch, and have a great time. We can't thank him enough for such a great trip.
