You're likely to fish for Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Bull Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Bobby welcomes children aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your vessel for the day is a 24' Sea Fox center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Bobby will supply rods and reels for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it will be required 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 sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Incredible Trip!

    6 Hour Trip — Sharks on August 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    We started out on a shark trip. But, because the weather was so nice Capt Bobby suggested we move around some and keep our options open. We started off catching sand trout for bait and then progressed offshore a little. We ended up catching four Cobia, a limit of Red Snapper and a giant ray. Capt Bobby is very experienced and knowledgeable. When he found out this trip was a going away present for my son that had joined the Marines he decided to make this a trip of a lifetime. He took us on a quick tour of the warships in the area and then successfully put us on fish in several different settings. It was a truly amazing and unexpected day. I highly recommend this guide.

    THE BEST Father’s Day Trip in YEARS

    6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on June 21, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Bobby Hall, our guide, was professional, courteous, conscience, great company, and all round good person. He went out of his way to make sure that we were as comfortable as he could with the rain. He definitely knew his stuff. He kept us ahead of the storm and he knew where the fish were biting. And BOY were they! Our grandson caught a Trophy Trout and made a video! We had a thoroughly enjoyable Father’s Day. We could not have ask for a better host or better memories. Great day all around. Hats off to him. Thanks Cpt Bobby!!!

    Sharks

    6 Hour Trip — Sharks on May 21, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Bobby, our guide, ensured our safety during the unpredictable weather conditions. Due to the inclement weather, we had to make an unexpected stop in the middle of our trip. Once the weather cleared and he felt confident, he took us back out to fulfill our desire to catch a shark. We had previously caught a big stingray before the weather turned, so this was a much-anticipated catch. Captain Bobby had an eventful start to his day and managed to get us on a shark before the end. I highly recommend Second Chance Charters.

    Bobby was a very patient and such a gentleman.

    4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on July 28, 2026 • 5 adults

    Bobby greeted us at the dock. He was very friendly and told us what we could anticipate for the day. He was very helpful and a perfect gentleman the whole time. He even got everyone casting by themselves when they were comfortable with it and if they wanted to. The boat was clean and he already had a few different types of fishing rods ready for different types of fishing for us to try for the duration of the trip. We really enjoyed our day with Captain Bobby.

    Wonderful Experience

    6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on June 27, 2026 • 5 adults • 4 children

    First time trip for our young boys (8-13) and they absolutely loved it! The captain was super kid friendly and appropriate and helped them all along the way. He was so attentive to even when they started to turn a little green faced on the water he shifted the plan to still make the trip memorable. He even took them on a side quest after and they cant stop talking about it. Thank you so much for your kindness Captain Bobby!

    Determined to put us on fish.

    4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on May 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captin Bobby was very pleaseant. He explained what we were going to be doing and showed us how everything worked. From showing us how to bait our hooks and making sure we had bait on them to showing us how to build some sharks rigs. He also made sure to keep us on fish and moved when the bite slowed or when only the “dinks” were biting. He will definitely be giving him a call next time we are in Galveston for sure!

I had an awesome experience with our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure we had a great time. He knew exactly where to put us on fish, was patient with everyone on the boat, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish.
