If you're ready to go fishing in Houston, book a trip with Max Outfitters. With Captain Jose at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, popping, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll find yourself aboard a 24' NauticStar bay boat with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Absolutely Incredible Fishing Trip with Jose!
1/4 day trip on July 26, 20253 adults

We had the best time hay fishing with Jose — it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our group included some serious fishermen — the boys fish all the time, and my son is even on the high school fishing team — and even they said this was the best fishing guide they’ve ever had. Jose knew exactly where to take us, and we basically caught all the fish we could catch. It was nonstop action and excitement, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Jose made the trip fun, relaxed, and completely memorable. Highly recommend booking with him — whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned angler, you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time!

Half Day Trip on June 20, 20264 adults

Captain Jose was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole morning. Boat was very clean and user firendly. We caught a lot of fish and had a great time doing it. We caught Jack, Trout and Drum. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Nice experience and good fish for dinner
Half Day Trip on April 6, 20263 adults

It was a slow day (a thunderstorm just passed by, with some wind still blowing), but the captain helped us to stay in calm condition water with bites. We went home with a mix bag of crab, fish, and some leftover live shirmp (bait), more than enough for a good dinner! Excellent service, boat was clean. Would recommend to our friends in the area.

Fishing with CLASS
Half Day Trip on April 26, 20262 adults

This was the greatest two day fishing trip my son and I have ever had. We caught our limit on Trout both days and we were able to catch Red and Black Drum fish in multiple locations. Do not miss out on a fishing trip with Jose. What I enjoyed the most is his love for fishing and being out on the water. Great vibe and good people.

Awesome Fishing Charter
1/4 day trip on July 19, 20254 adults

I had an great experience on this fishing trip today. From start to finish, everything was top-notch, the captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about fishing. We hit some great spots, and I ended up catching a bunch of speckled trout. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, this charter is the real deal. Highly recommend to anyone looking to have a great time and bring home a cooler full of fish. Can’t wait to book again!
