Smoke 'N' Reels Fishing Charters – 33'
Smoke 'N' Reels Fishing Charters – 33'
Make some memories in Galveston and go fishing with Smoke 'N' Reels Fishing Charters. With Captain Chris at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
AMBERJACK SEASON: September 1, 2025 - October 31, 2025
RED SNAPPER SEASON: June 1st - ????
Amberjack, Flounder, Cobia, Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Kingfish, Redfish, Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!
You'll be welcome aboard a 33' Center console with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Boat was repowered in january 2025 with new suzuki 300 outboards. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
You can't go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

6 Hour Trip – Breakwater/Jetty (AM)
Best trip we've taken
My son decided he wanted a fishing trip for his birthday so we booked with Smoke N Reels. It was, I believe, the best choice we could have made. From the beginning there was great communication about the trip, who was coming, and what we would be targeting on our trip. Lanette took care of all of the paperwork and any questions we had. This wasn't our first fishing trip but about our 6th. So we've seen a few captains and their operations. Capt Chris and Deckhand Jayden are absolutely top notch. I had 5 teenagers with me and they treated them like family. Anything and everything they needed or asked for was taken care of. Chris and Jayden engaged with everyone answering questions or just bs'ing. There was never a dull moment. And that's they are the best. We stayed on fish and if it got slow, off to the next place. We caught a few species, including trout, drum, and even got to land a shark and fought one that straightened out hook. Both Chris and Jayden made sure the boys always had a fishing pole and bait. The most involved Captain and Deckhand ive ever ran across. All in all absolutely the best way to spend a day on the water. Can't wait to book again.

10 Hour Trip – Offshore Attack
10 Hr Offshore Attack
Captain Chris set us up with GREAT 10 hour Offshore Attack trip. We started at a couple of oil rigs where we pulled a 45 lb Amber Jack. This was my first experience with this fish and what a fight! After a shark took our last bait fish (almost landed him….next time) we transitioned to some bottom fishing. We pulled some Red Snapper, Kingfish, and a random Amber Jack that was too small to keep. Captain Chris was able to park us on top of a school of Mahi Mahi which were absolutely amazing to fish. Captain Chris was having as much fun as we were as he caught a flying fish. This was an amazing trip! Big thanks to Lynette as well for calling the night before to make sure we were properly prepared for the trip. Exited to book again in the future.
