Reel Fishing Fever invites you on a fishing or sightseeing adventure in the abundant waters of Galveston, Texas. Captain Terry has over 50 years of fishing experience and is a warm and welcoming person. He loves taking kids and families out on fishing and sightseeing trips.
Captain Terry can take you on an inshore bay trip for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Blacktip Shark. Alternatively, he can take you on a close offshore or jetty trip that will see you targeting Sharks, Spanish Mackerel, and whatever else bites.
The Dolphin watching and sightseeing tours can be done on their own or combined with your fishing trip. In the words of Captain Terry: 'I see these combo trips on many of my family outings, non-avid fisherman and quite frankly with a lot of my friends'.
You will fish aboard a brand new, built in 2019, 22-foot Sportsman center console. The boat is powered by a 225 HP Suzuki 4-stroke engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 45 knots.

Reel Fishing Fever is a reasonably priced charter that offers a wide variety of choices for your boating pleasure. You will typically launch out of the beautiful, safe, and private Waterman Marina at Pirates Cove on Galveston Island.
You can purchase live bait for $25 per person, so make sure you let Captain Terry know you are interested. He will provide you with bottled water and snacks on the trip, as well as a cleaning and filleting service at the end of the trip.

I’ve been a freshwater fisherman my whole life despite living in Texas my whole life. This was my first saltwater experience and my wife’s first fishing trip ever. Captain Terry was a gentleman and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure my wife was baited up and catching fish for our whole trip and was just as excited as we were when my wife landed a fantastic 26” redfish. What a fight and exonerating rush it was. She got a Texas slam with flounder, trout, and that big red and beat me soundly in the process which was the best thing that could have happened. I will definitely book again with captain Terry!! Well worth the money

We flew into Galveston a day early for our cruise with the hopes of getting onto some saltwater fish. The area had a massive storm and front roll through the day prior so I was not expecting much being as I know that pushes fish out as well. But let me tell you we would not have caught anything without captain Terry!!! He got us onto the fish right away and we caught just about every species in the area for winter water. He was extremely knowledgeable and awesome to work with. My only regret is he let my wife catch the biggest fish of the trip lol. We will definitely be back and will recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks captain!!!!!
Captain Terry went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing day on the water. He worked hard to make sure we were able to find great fishing, moving to multiple locations. Was very easy to talk to and he did an amazing job explaining different fishing techniques on the trip. When we were finished we had the fish we caught cooked to perfection at Waterman’s Restaurant. Defensively recommend spending the day with Captain Terry and finish with dinner on the water. Was an amazing experience.
I booked this trip for my father-in-law and husband for my FIL’s 60th birthday. I told Captain Terry he was wanting to catch redfish and whatever else they could, and Captain Terry delivered! We will be eating redfish for a while when we get back home! The guys keep talking about their trip (even 4 days later). Captain Terry was knowledgeable and friendly and was always quick to respond when I had questions (especially with me not going on the trip and trying to make all the plans for the guys without knowing what I was doing)! We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing experience. Captain Terry was fully prepared for our trip. Captain was amazing with our two girls 10&8. First pole in the water and before he could bait and cast the second pole we had a bite. The bite continued for a while with only a couple of minutes in between bites . We limited out on reds and Captain Terry was right beside us with the net for every fish.
I booked a 6hr inshore fishing trip for the morning starting at 6am for me my dad and my boys. Captain suggested moving trip to evening because fishing was tough the previous day so we moved it and it was a great decision. Captain Terrys knowledge of the bays is incredible and you can tell he truly loves his job!! We caught fish almost all day but Captain Terry wanted us to get a big Red fish on the line so we stated out well after time and got one. It was a great Family fishing trip that we all will remember for a life time!!
My family had a great time out on the water with Captain Terry. He was very knowledgeable of the area, consistently put us on the fish and most importantly was very patient and helpful with my kids. He even baited and casted for the kids all morning long. All four of us caught fish but my son was the ultimate winner of the group landing the biggest Red Drum of the day and a massive Black Drum. Would recommend anyone in the Galveston area looking for a great guide service to check out Captain Terry with Reel Fishing Fever.
We were on vacation from Canada and wanted to go fishing in Texas. My wife booked us with Captain Terry. We were on the tail end of a cold front but that didn’t stop the Captain from getting us on the fish for a great day of fishing. Very knowledgeable and great guide, I would highly recommend him if you want to catch fish. Thanks Captain Terry!
We had an excellent fall day trip with Captain Terry on Monday morning. It was a very windy and cloudy day but he definitely knew the best spots in the bay. We caught redfish, trout, flounder, and even a few stingrays on accident. Captain Terry is an excellent teacher and a knows these waters better than anyone. We wanted to hook “the big one”, so Captain T didn’t stop until that happened. Our last spot, we hooked a huge redfish and reeled him in for at least 17 minutes! He was close to 40”!!!

Captain Terry was excellent! The two of us were able to catch so many fish during our time. The keepers pictured were the best catch of the day brought in to the marina be cleaned 😊. We caught fish when other captains were surprised because their day wasn’t as good. Captain Terry took us to a few of his spots and we caught fish at every spot! He also contacted us to change our fishing date due to poor fishing after storms - which we were very thankful for. Thanks again for a great day fishing!

This trip was taken by my 2 adult sons and myself. To say that this was the best trip we have ever had together would be an understatement. Captain Terry is without a doubt in our books the best guide in Galveston and this was not my first trip. If I had only 1 thing to say is you can try the rest but go with captain Terry if you want the best. Thank you so much Captain Terry for memories that will last a lifetime. And oh yes we all 3 caught our limits and had to throw back fish. THANK YOU Captain Terry
