Spend the day with Salty Paws Charters, and let them show you what makes the fishing in Galveston so memorable!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Flounder, Bull Reds, Sharks, and plenty more. On these trips, it’s common to use popping corks, drift, and bottom fish using light tackle. Live bait or artificial bait trips are available. Rods and reels will be ready for you.

Your adventure begins aboard a 24’ Majek Reaper with a capacity for 4 passengers. With a 36v trolling motor and dual power poles, you can sneak up on your trophy catch. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Robert is able to accommodate clients with special needs. Service dogs are welcome with prior arrangements with the Captain.

You will need to get 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. Children are welcome aboard.

You can’t go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Salty Paws Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Galveston. So, how about booking that trip?
