Terry's Guide Service LLC is a fishing charter that does regular fishing trips in Upper Galveston Bay, 20 minutes from Houston, Texas. It is owned and operated by Captain Ken Terry, who has more than 25 years of experience fishing these waters and is eager to show you what fishing these waters is all about. All anglers are welcome aboard, as are group trips.

You will be fishing on a 24' Kenner boat, that is powered by a 250 HP Mercury Pro XS engine, that can have it going up to an impressive 48 knots. Apart from all the necessary safety and navigation gear you would need for a good trip, the boat also has a wireless trolling motor for when you need to run silently.

Captain Ken offers full day and half day Boat fishing trips in the Upper Galveston Bay waters, where you will be targeting fish like Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, Trout, and more. Captain Ken also offers trips to individuals that prefer wading sandflats, reefs and shorelines. His personal favorite is going after aggressive schools of Redfish and Trout with a big topwater lure.

The price of the trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, and it is up to you to bring a current fishing license with a saltwater stamp. Those who want to go on a wading trip will need to bring their own waders and assorted gear. Captain Ken will clean your catch after the trip so you don't have to. Make sure to also pack a pair of polarized sunglasses, some food and drinks if you're so inclined, and you're all set.

Live bait provided for an additional market price.

    Father Son Day to Remember

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Ken was great - Good guy - good conversations. Everything went smoothly. We caught a lot of different of fish - we changed locations when it made sense. The boat was comfortable cutting through waves and wakes easily. Could not have been a better experience. Highly recommended.

    Amazing fishing trip

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip (AM) on November 23, 2025 • 4 adults

    Decided to take my niece, sister and Dad on fishing trip while we were in town for the holidays. This was my nieces first time fishing and my sister's first time fishing in almost 40 years. The captain Ken was able to put us on fish all day and did a great job explaining what to do and how to do it. We ended up catching over 20 fish and my niece caught the largest fish a 36 inch monster. I highly recommend booking with Ken!

    Great guy - knowledgeable Captain

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 6, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had a trip that wasn't going well. Not Capt. Terry's fault the fish just weren't biting. For hours. He refused to give up and kept going to different spots until BAM, there they were. He turned a poor day fishing into a great experience for my son. Taught him a lot, was a great all-around guy, and just as pleasant as could be. Plus we came home with great filets and recommendations on how to cook them. He was right, they were delicious. His wife was right, the backbone meat was fantastic. Can't recommend this guy enough and I'll be booking again around Christmas.

    Half day Fishing Trip with Captain Kelly

    Fishing 5 Hour Trip (AM) on May 31, 2023 • 2 adults

    My husband and I went on a fishing trip and had an incredible experience. Our captain was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also very personable, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He was able to take us to the best fishing spots and give us tips on how to catch various types of fish. Throughout the trip, we caught a lot of fish and had a great time doing it. The captain made sure we were comfortable and having fun, and even shared some of his personal fishing stories with us. He also provided us with all the necessary equipment and bait. Overall, I highly recommend this fishing trip to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. The combination of the captain's expertise and personality, as well as the abundance of fish we caught, made for an unforgettable trip.

You guys were such a great group. Most of the fish were either a little too short or too big per Texas Fishing laws. Nevertheless some stayed in the box and it was awesome seeing the young lady wrestled that monster. Blessings to your family Sir.
