Book'em & Hook'em Fishing Charters are located in Galveston - one of the best fishing locations on the Gulf Coast of Texas. The Galveston Bay Complex, where you will fish, offers extraordinary fishing for a number of shallow water species. The fish are fun to catch and taste deliciously.

Captain Epi Garza provides Galveston fishing trips for the entire Galveston Bay Complex. He is a professional guide with over 20 years experience fishing the Galveston Bay. This experience means he knows the best spots, is able to provide sound advice and provide his guests with a great fishing experience.

Offering a variety of fishing trips including wade fishing, drifting, and anchor fishing, Captain Epi can meet your fishing needs. He will put you on Redfish, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout which populate the Bay in healthy numbers. You will have the choice of using live or artificial lures, rods, reels, and tackle.

Fishing takes place aboard a 25' Haynie Magnum saltwater fishing boat, originally built in 2015 with a capacity for four guests. Powered by a 250 HP Mercury Pro XS engine, this boat will get you from one productive spot to the next in a flash. It is fully equipped with the necessary safety and electronic features such as a Lowrance 7 touch HDS GPS and a fishfinder. There is also an iPilot wireless trolling motor, a power pole, and a Fusion stereo with Wet sound speakers.

Book'em & Hook'em Fishing Charters will provide you with a fish cleaning service at the end of your trip, so bring a cooler for your fish. You are advised to bring food and drinks for the day, and a customary Texas Fishing License with a Saltwater stamp. Bring a camera to capture your victorious moments, polarized sunglasses, a hat, and enjoy your day!

Best Inshore Trip Ever
Full Day Trip on April 11, 20253 adults

Captain Garza is a top notch inshore guide! He knows where the fish are and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. My wife, son and I went home with a bundle of fresh fish and wonderful memories. Thanks again Capt Epi. We will definitely book again!

Hard day of fishing
Full Day Trip on March 30, 20243 adults

Fish were not cooperative but Epi didn't give up and had no issues moving from spot to spot trying to locate some active fish. Was a slog but Epi really worked hard to get us on fish and stayed out much longer that planned to make sure we had a good experience. Highly recommend Book'em & Hook'em!

Successful trip with Captain Epi
Half Day Trip on February 16, 20222 adults

Our first trip from Montana to Texas and the Galveston area and Captain Epi made sure we will return! The weather was not our friend, but Captain Epi did a fantastic job of making sure we had fun and had a successful adventure. His years of experience paid off for us! With his knowledge of the area, he was able to adjust the original plan and get us in waters that were more protected from the wind and PRODUCTIVE! We ended the day with a nice catch of Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout, Sheephead and even a Flounder. From our experience, we don't think you can get a better guide! Phil and Karlene

Tough Conditions
Half Day Trip on March 12, 20232 adults

Capt Epi is a true Guide. He called the day before our trip and was upfront and honest about the weather conditions and lack of areas we could fish. He left it up to me to decide. My Son and I were there to fish so we gave it a shot. Capt Epi worked to find some good water and we caught a few keeper reds. Will schedule again and hope for better conditions.
