SeaPlay Sportfishing – Bow Down
SeaPlay Sportfishing – Bow Down
If fishing in Galveston is on your bucket list, look no further than SeaPlay Sportfishing. With Captain Brad at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Black Drum, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sheepshead, Blacktip Shark, Redfish, Gag Grouper, Cobia, Yellowfin Tuna, and more are in the cards, depending on conditions.
You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. You'll be casting lines from a 36' Contender center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
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.
It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (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.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with SeaPlay Sportfishing.

Half Day Trip (PM) on July 8, 2026 • 5 adultsWe took our Grandson’s (14,15 and 17yrs old) 5 of us ,Captain Brad and TJ were great, very attentive to everyones needs. The caught Trout, black Drum and big Red drums (25lb) . To see the look of excitement on the boys face reeling in all the fish. Then they put us on the Red Drum , the sheer joy you could see on there faces they will never forget this trip, memories of a lifetime.

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childsuch a fun trip. The captain and first mate were great. Helpful and friendly from the time we boarded until we left. Very little down time, we either caught fish or moved to a better spot. Ended up getting my 13 year old on a 100 lb stingray. Fun experience!
Trenton Tucker5.0VerifiedGreat birthday trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 18, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I went on a morning trip with Captain Pablo. He had tons of knowledge to share about fishing and some great stories. We got some good fish in the boat and would definitely book another trip with him.

3/4 Day Trip (PM) on June 28, 2026 • 5 adultsNeeded a charter last minute because ours was canceled for the second time the captain, and the first mate was very friendly and very helpful. Had a good ass time on the boat ride too, and made some funny stories.

One of the best fishing trips we've ever been on! Booked the short, early morning trip to try and beat the August heat, so was a little curious how many fish we'd be able to get on in that time. Turned out to be a non-issue as they drove us directly where they were hanging out and we caught enough to make us happy. Wound up with multiple catches of three shark species and one monster that I fought for fifteen minutes before he finally broke me off. If we're ever down that way again we will definitely be booking another trip with this crew!
Thanks

Thanks Leland!!
My husband and I took our oldest 2 fishing for their birthday. Even tho we didnt catch big fish just realing in small ones, stingrays, and sharks to see the excitement in the kids eyes was all worth the money that was spent. It wasnt the guys fault we didnt catch something worth keeping they just wasnt biting we still had the best time. Definitely booking with these guys again.
Thanks
