Hitchcock has a fish with your name on it, so let Sonrise Fishing help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Justen can tell you all about them.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and who knows what else! On the day of your trip, you’re likely to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Children are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 23’ Center console with room for 5 passengers. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. You’ll need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

A few items to bring include snacks, sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Sonrise Fishing and get hooked!

I recommend Captain Justen to anyone who wants to catch fish. He knows where they are and how to catch them. He is very good at adjusting to the skill level of customers.

I was born on Galveston Island. I've been fishing since I was very young and decided to pursue guiding in 2019. I absolutely love fishing and being on the water, and my biggest passion is sharing it with others!
