The fish in Galveston are big and bountiful. You can fish the jetty for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sharks. Or you can go after the all-around favorite Red Snapper, which Captain Shannon kindly gives a 101 on in one of his videos.Then, there are Ling and King Mackerel on the offshore trips that take you out some 25 to 40 miles offshore. Alternatively, you can run even further as far as 60 miles and target Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Wahoo, and Amberjack.
Galveston Offshore will provide Shimano reels, heavy tackle rods, and live bait. All you really have to think is a Texas fishing license with a saltwater stamp. No Fuel Surcharge.

Captain Shannon was fantastic to fish with. He is truly a master at his craft. Not only did he put us on some great fish (we did limit out), he was overall genuine, kind and from my brief interaction always tries to do things right. Case in point, we ran over ~500 ft of floating 3in rope on our way out in the dark (morning trip). He untangled it and pulled all of it in his boat, just so another boater wouldn't run over it (so much rope we couldn't even walk on 1 side of the boat). If your looking for a great human being who also knows how to fish extremely well, he's the one you want. He is defintiely a cut above. His first mate Blake was also a great deck hand. I highly recommend Captain Shannon (except for when I want to come back down and fish with him :) ).
thanks Brian
The trip was way more than I thought it could be. Captain Shannon was great, he kept moving us around, and we keep catching fish. All different types of fish and 15 fish in all, then the captain cleaned the fish, put it in a ziplock, and told us where we could get it cooked. I packed mine in ice and Styrofoam and brought it home. Only thing we needed was a salt water licence. I'm ready to do it again.
thanks Gayle
Captain Shannon trully made the trip! Our group of 3 caught lots of red snapper and Captain Shannon ensured on almost every catch that we could catch bigger. He was right! Captain Shannon displayed an impressive energy and excitment throughout the trip. Will definitly go out with Captain Shannon again and also highly recommend to others! You will not be disapointed.
thanks Mathew. I also enjoyed the day
Captain Shannon was great! We last minute decided to take a fishing trip with my in-laws. We were competing with rough water, and crazy tides. Shannon stuck in with us. We got a few bites at the beginning and then it was just dead, to no fault of his own. He continually tried to reposition us .At go in time we started to catch and he actually stayed out an extra hour and a half with us to make sure we did get some. If I could give more than five stars, I would. When we come back,we will definitely be using him again. Just a great person!
thanks Chris
Captain Shannon was amazing super helpful makes sure you get the fish your looking for. Definitely very experienced and very helpful. plenty of room on the boat to walk around and fish plenty of seating. Alot of gear and definitely a quick boat to get you to the spots. cleaned the fish at the end and bagged them. I would rate this trip a 10 stars out of 5.
thanks Ryan
