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.
