San Leon is all about fishing! The most important economic sector of this small Texan town is shrimp and oyster fishing, and its great position on the shores of Galveston Bay gives anglers access to amazing inshore fishing year round. San Leon is the right choice if you want to fish away from the city’s hustle and bustle, as a lot of homes here are used as summer residences.

 

Grass flats and murky shallows are filled with the most wanted inshore species – Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout. When it comes to fishing techniques, drift fishing is the way to go, but spinning and popping with light tackle are also popular. Catching Sheepshead or Black Drum is also something you can expect in the inshore waters.

 

As San Leon is only 12 miles away from the Gulf, you can count on an offshore adventure. Target Snapper, Cobia, King Mackerel, Sharks, or Jack Crevalle, to name a few. 

 

Whichever trip you choose, San Leon is a great departure point for any type of fishing adventure!
