Fishing in Kemah

Fishing in Kemah is a year-round adventure and one of the best ways to experience the inshore angling Texas is famous for. Aside from fishing, this small and friendly place celebrates the local NASA Johnson Space Center. Whether you’re here to lift off or cast off, not even the sky is the limit! 
 

Which Trip to Choose

If you want a true Texan fishing experience, then take an inshore fishing trip! The Lone Star State is famous for fishing spots around grass flats, bayous, and marshes. You can target Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Croaker, but if you really want to get the Inshore Grand Slam, set your hook for Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout.
 
Inshore trips are a great option for families with children, as you’ll stay in calm waters. Fishing experience is an advantage on these trips, but not essential – inshore spots are perfect for learning the basics or trying out new tricks. Even though you can reach fruitful fishing spots on half day trips, don’t miss out on the chance to spend more time on the water. Longer trips will give you more time to move around, try out different techniques, and target even the feistiest species. 
 
If fishing in the Gulf is your cup of tea, you can head out south and go beyond  Galveston Island. You’ll need to take a full day trip for this adventure since the Gulf is more than 20 miles away. The effort pays off and you’ll have a variety of fish species to target, from Jack Crevalle, Cobia, and Mahi Mahi, to Red Snapper, Kingfish, and all kinds of Sharks.
 

Regulations

Every angler over 17 years old needs to have a Texas fishing license with a saltwater endorsement. You can purchase yours online or in any Texas Park and Wildlife Department office, sporting goods store, tackle shop, or even a local grocery store.
 

The Kemah Experience

The most important events in Kemah are always related to aerial and water activities, such as the Blessing of the Fleet boat parade, the Performance Cup Regatta, or the Ballunar Liftoff Festival. 
 
Don’t forget to visit one of the city’s main attractions, the Kemah Boardwalk! Besides games and rides, this 60-acre theme park is also known for amazing sea-food restaurants. This is the perfect place to visit after your fishing trip – eating the fish you caught and enjoying the view of the bay.

Kemah Fishing Seasons

January

Winter hardly makes its mark on the fishing scene in Kemah, so you can always have a great day on the water. You’re most likely to catch Sheepshead, Redfish, and Speckled Trout.

 
February

Sheepshead still outnumber every other fish in the area. They are clever and often times steal the bait without being hooked. Try not to pull the line immediately and you’ll get them.

 
March

Black Drum show up in larger numbers. The best way to catch them is by hooking a shrimp. They’re strong fighters, so make sure to pull hard.

 
April

Inshore spots are more abundant with Flounder, while the anglers heading out to the Gulf will have more chances of catching Mackerel.

 
May

Waters closer to the Gulf have more Sharks coming through. Inshore species are available in good numbers as well.

 
June

If you want to avoid the heat, try Flounder gigging at night! They’re fun to catch and taste amazing. Great fun for families with children.

 
July

July is the time when Sheepshead are less present but everything else is will take a good bite. Guides of the area usually go drift fishing.

 
August

With August comes the peak time to target Redfish and Speckled Trout. Specs are not very picky about bait and it shouldn’t be too hard to catch them.

 
September

This is a great time to go after Redfish. Long casting with light tackle is what usually does the trick for them to bite. Get ready – they’re strong fighters.

 
October

This is probably the best time to target the Big Three! Flounder are back in the game, so all you need is a longer trip, to make sure you have enough time for the Inshore Grand Slam.

 
November

Sharks and Mackerel are in decline and Gulf trips are less fruitful compared to the inshore ones. Head just a few miles off the coast and you’ll be ready to wet your lines.

 
December

Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Sheepshead are present in decent numbers, so you won’t be disappointed. Drift fishing should do the trick for most of them.

Captain Bob was awesome I brought my kids to Galveston and booked this fishing trip with captain Bob very knowledgeable great atmosphere kept it positive on the boat with a slow start but he knew his spots would not disappoint. This trip was perfect because it literally took us about 10 minutes to get to the first spot and start fishing. Would definitely recommend Captain Bobs services for a great fishing trip. Will definitely be returning!!!

Captain Mark made my families first time chartering a boat the most memorable experience. I have taken charters myself in other parts of the gulf coast but this was by far the best. His patience, excellent demeanor, kindness and ability to teach were the best. My kids loved Captain Mark. The boat had everything we needed , he even provided water and gatorade. He made sure we got lots of pictures and most of all we caught plenty of keepers. Donโ€™t hesitate and just book, you wont regret it.
