Great Trip on Galveston Bay!
3/4 Day Trip on June 24, 20252 adults

Captain Mike took a couple of South Louisiana boys (my 14 yr old son and I) out for a half day trip on Galveston Bay. Learned a new technique (dredge fishing), specs were large and plentiful, and my son caught a new PB 24 incher. Captain Mike was great to deal with. Communication was easy, and appreciated his openness about what species were biting at this time of year. Boat was in great condition with plenty of room. Would definitely recommend him as a guide!

Reported catch:
Black Drum
Redfish
Speckled Trout
Response from Captain

Thank you again for the trip!!

Great day with Captain Mike
BACK OF SCHOOL SPECIAL!! on August 22, 20242 adults

I booked this trip for my wife's first saltwater fishing experience. Captain Mike was patient and took his time making sure she knew how to use the equipment and worked hard to keep us both on fish. We limited on trout plus several keeper drum and a 27" redfish. A big bonus was a 20 minute fight with a jack that Captain Mike estimated at 50 pounds. I got him close enough to the boat to see several times but he ultimately broke off. On light tackle, it was amazing. Captain Mike used the boat perfectly to keep me with line available to work the fish. I'll definitely book with him again. Highest possible recommendation!

Reported catch:
Black Drum
Redfish
Speckled Trout

Thank you and well see you next time
