Texas Coast Fishing Charters is run and operated by Captain Cody Phillips, specializing in inshore and offshore fishing trips out of Galveston, TX. Cody has been on the water ever since he was five, and will happily share what he has learned with his guests. Anglers of all shapes and sizes are welcome aboard, no matter if you're a novice or pro. Family trips are very much encouraged, as they are loads of fun for everyone.

You will be fishing aboard a 25' Nautic Star saltwater fishing boat that's powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. It has all of the necessary safety and navigation equipment you'll need for a productive trip, along with a live well for storing bait. There's plenty of space for up to six people to be able to fish without getting in each other's way.

If you're interested in exploring the inshore waters, Captain Cody can take you fishing for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum in the bays. Otherwise, you can go offshore in search of fish that can't be found so close to shore.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price of any trip, and Captain Cody will be happy to clean and fillet anything you catch after the trip. You will need to bring along a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, and a pair of polarized sunglasses is highly recommended for the best experience.

    Look no further than Captain Cody.

    4 hour trip, 8:00 a.m. start on June 21, 2026 • 5 adults

    Cody puts a lot of time and hard work into the trips he provides. From the start of the morning of our trip he was in contact regarding the weather and storms passing throug, arrangements were made to make sure we were safe and the fishing was good out on the water. Cody was super helpful with my younger brother who had no experience fishing, coached him through landing a 33 in Red for his first fish ever. Super helpful, knowledgable and respectful Cody made sure we had a great time. I will be returning and reccomending him to my friends and family

    An Unforgettable Fishing Trip!

    4hr on July 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    Cody was absolutely amazing! As complete amateurs, he took the time to show us the ropes, made us feel comfortable, and ensured we had an incredible experience from start to finish. We caught multiple monsters throughout the trip, and he worked tirelessly to put us on the fish all day. To top it off, he cleaned and gutted all 18 fish we caught, which was hugely appreciated. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and hardworking guide, I couldn’t recommend Cody highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

    Beyond worth it!

    New year special on June 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    Capt Cody is the best. We had an absolute riot. The man himself is a great person, but the experience he gave us was even better, he knows what he is doing. We were kind of close to another boat with 4 fob it and we were reeling in way more. It was just my 12 year old and I and we caught almost everything that is offered (reds, black drum, lady fish, stingray, Gar, speckled trout and more) and some extras we weren’t expecting! Thank you Cody, we plan on being back!

    Awesome Day Fishing with Cody

    4 hour trip, 8:00 a.m. start on March 19, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an outstanding experience on our fishing tour. From start to finish, Cody was top-notch. His knowledge and work ethic showed, as he consistently put us on the fish. We had constant action and caught a great variety throughout the trip. What stood out the most, was how great he was with our son. Cody was patient, encouraging, and made sure he was involved and having a good time the entire trip. If you’re looking for a someone who clearly knows what they are doing, works hard to make sure you’re successful, and genuinely cares about his customers, I highly recommend booking with Cody. You won’t be disappointed.

    Fish on! Great time on the water.

    4hr on August 9, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Cody put us on fish for 4 hours straight, one of the best fishing experiences I've had if not the best. He's great with new anglers and kids. I went out with my nephews and we all had a great time. Great sense of humor and happy to teach technique and give tips about fishing in the area. Definitely look forward to getting back on the water with his charter again.

    Great experience!

    4hr on July 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Cody was great, put us on fish right away. He was laid back and gave good tips to make us successful. We fished 4 different spots, and ended the day landing some beautiful reds. He cleaned and fileted our catch so we could enjoy it later. Thanks Cody! Would definitely recommend!

    Great Captain!

    4 hour trip, 8:00 a.m. start on March 8, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Cody did a phenomenal job. He has incredible knowledge of the area and the species you’re chasing. Conditions were tough when we went out and Cody put a ton of effort into finding good fish. It was greatly appreciated. When we got into the fish, Cody was insanely efficient in getting the keepers in the boat, and getting the lines back in the water. Extremely welcoming and professional captain. Would recommend using his services!
