Running angling trips out of Bolivar Peninsula, Reel Bolivar Fishing Guide invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Mark aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and popping. You’re looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Snapper, and Tripletail, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your adventure begins on board a 25’ Haynie boat that can fit a maximum of 5 anglers. The boat is fitted with a wireless trolling motor. R
ods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price of your trip. Don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!

The price of a given trip doesn’t include bait, so be sure to get in touch with the captain about what your options are prior to the trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Reel Bolivar Fishing Guide.

Hi, I’m Captain Mark Allen. I’m a father to 4 wonderful boys who love to fish and be outdoors. I grew up fishing in Galveston bay with my dad. I always loved to fish. What once was a hobby turned into an addiction. I love to fish. I live 8 min from the boat ramp. I can make it from one of my furthest fishing spots to home in 25min( that’s with loading the boat on the trailer). When I’m not on a charter, I’m out on water finding fish and learning more about fishing so I can pass it on. My favorite thing about being a fishing guide is getting to share my love for fishing with people. If you book with me I promise you will have a great time.
