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.

Jose was great!
1/4 day trip on August 22, 20263 adults1 child

We caught various black drum, redfish, speckled trout, catfish, croaker, a flounder, and even a stingray! Had a flounder, redfish and 3 black drum that were big enough keep, but the entire trip was a blast and Jose was a great captain.

We had the best day!
Half Day Trip on July 28, 20264 adults

Captain Jose was a knowledgeable guide that set us on the fish at the first fishing spot. We started catching pretty quick. He kept us locked and loaded with fresh bait to stay on those trout. We even had to throw a few back cause they were too big for the box. My family (husband and 2 teens) and myself enjoyed fishing with him. We would definitely hire Jose again. Do the thing. Book the trip!

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.
