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. That means it is fast and reliable on the water and will get you to the best fishing grounds quickly. The boat contains all the safety and electronics you might need, as well as all the fishing gear. It also comes equipped with a toilet, and a T-top to protect you from the sun.
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.

6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing
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

6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing
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!!!!!

6 Hour Trip – Bay 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

6 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing
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.
