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.
