3rd Coast Charter welcomes you to the stunning waters of Galveston Bay Complex. Captain Matt will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of experience fishing these waters.

Species like Flounder, Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, and more inhabit these waters if you come at the right time of year. During the trip, you might be spinning, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea to keep 'em happy!

You'll be casting lines from a fully custom 22' Majek Extreme center console that can carry up to 4 adult passengers. (Have multi boats if more) It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. 3rd Coast Charter has top of the line rods and reels for you. Live bait will be provided

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled water is provided. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Galveston Fishing Adventures.
