Circle H Outfitters – Katie's Red Tide
Circle H Outfitters – Katie's Red Tide
Ready to go fishing in Galveston? Katie’s Red Tide is here to make it happen! Captain Ricky and the incredible fishing machine Red Tide make these fishing excursions a trip to remember for a long time!
Captain Ricky specializes in family-oriented trips and loves to take children fishing. He has vast historical knowledge of the Galveston waters, making your adventure fun and educational.
These waters are known for Lane Snapper, Almaco Jack, Redfish, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, Cobia, Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, Kingfish, Great Barracuda, and more. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
You’ll be dropping lines from a 42’ Invincible Center console with space for 6 passengers. It has triple 350 HP Suzuki engines. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is included.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Both Captain and Mates work hard for tips, and it’s customary to offer them a 18-20% tip. Anyone 17 years and older 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.
It’s never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Galveston aboard the Red Tide!

Half Day Trip – Bay/Jetty (PM)
That's Not Fishing! That's Catching!
We had a great time fishing with Circle H. We're a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 eager to learn kids). Captain Scott put us on the fish right out of the gate and kept us on throughout the trip. First mate Wes had his hands full unhooking fish and keeping every hook baited as well. Total keepers = 11 trout,1 sheepshead and a doormat flounder. Not to mention the numerous undersized ones we threw back and the multiple that stole our bait! Overall it was definitely one of the best trips I've ever been on! Side note: Captain Scott- very knowledgeable of the area and fish in it! First mate Wes - Very polite, respectful & patient with kids! Great team, would definitely recommend!

Half Day Trip – Bay/Jetty (AM)
Great Last Minute Trip.
I decided to take a last-minute trip with the family before school started. The captain seen that I had a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old boy on the boat and asked me if I wanted to go shark fishing. I said why not let’s see what these boys are made of.. needless to say we landed around 15 sharks. What made the trip even funner was when we first started we stopped off and fished for bait for 30 minutes and caught about 75 sand trout.. This was a blast for them as well. I would definitely recommend Circle H.

Fishing for sharks is great fun
We booked with Capt Rick and his deck hand Gavin with Circle H Galveston to take our 4 grandkids fishing for sharks. Their ages are 13, 8, 8, and 3 and all are shark nuts ( Shark week) we caught a lot of sharks up to 3 feet. Then my grandson Cooper hooked a monster he fought it for 45 minutes before it broke off. Everyone was so excited to be part of this experience, thanks .
