Hoping to catch some fish in Galveston? Look no further than Classic Rock Fishing Charters!

Redfish, Black Drum, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Sheepshead and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year.

During the trip, you might be spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Jose welcomes you aboard a 23' EdgeWater Center console with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.

Capt. Jose has rods and reels for you. We use live shrimp and dead bait as well.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Jose is one of the best guides I have been with. we asked him to help put our grandson on a shark and he did that plus 2 stingrays, one of which was over 200 pound, as well as other fish after that. He was great with our grandson as well as us. Very friendly and professional.
