Make some memories in Galveston and go fishing with Second Chance Fishing Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Bobby, allowing you to benefit from years of angling experience.

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, 20262 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.

Absolute blast of a trip
6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on July 25, 20263 adults

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. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Whether you’re experienced or it’s your first time, he’ll make sure you have a great day on the water. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing trip. Thanks again for an unforgettable day!

THE BEST Father’s Day Trip in YEARS
6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on June 21, 20263 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!!!

My son and I had an amazing day having the opportunity to fish with Captain Bobby. Captain Bobby is extremely knowledgeable on water currents and weather conditions and the ability of placing you where the fish are at! Captain Bobby not only is a great guy but friendly, and intuitive to seeing your skill level and helping you with anything that you might need help with. Captain Bobby definitely goes the extra mile to make sure that you have a great fishing experience! Book your trip with Captain Bobby and never think twice about it.

Sharks
6 Hour Trip — Sharks on May 21, 20265 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.
