Fishing in Galveston Bay

If you’re looking to explore some of Texas’s most prolific waters, hop aboard one of the many Galveston Bay fishing charters. This brackish estuary is known for its incredible fishing, and these shallow waters are just what you need to unwind. With prairies and marshland all around, it’s one of the most beautiful spots on the Gulf Coast, so come and check it out for yourself.

The waters of Galveston Bay are a unique blend of fresh and saltwater, and this makes it a great habitat for a variety of marine life. You’ll be able to go after some of the most prized inshore species, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. The list also includes creatures like Sheepshead, Black Drum, Sharks, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, and Croaker.

Depending on what you’re looking for, you can head out on a nice half day trip with the family, and enjoy some time relaxing on the water. But if you really want to fill your bags with delicious fish, opt for a full day trip. That will give you enough time to find the best fishing grounds and reel ‘em all in. And if you’re looking to have some unconventional fun, consider booking a Flounder gigging trip – it’s a real rush!

With the sheer size of Galveston Bay, you’ll find fishing charters in a variety of places. You can visit East Bay and head out of the Bolivar Peninsula, or opt for the prolific fishing out of Galveston Island. Texas City, Baytown, and Houston are also great spots to head out of. Just take your pick!

Rules & Regulations

In order to fish in Galveston Bay legally, everyone age 17 and above is required to have a Texas fishing license. This is the case regardless of whether you’re fishing alone or on a fishing charter.

Galveston Bay Fishing Seasons

January
The weather in January can be fickle, but when rain isn’t in the forecast, fishing is. You can search the bay for Sheepshead, Black Drum, Redfish, and of course, Speckled Trout.
February

If you’d like to have delicious fish fillets for dinner, then Galveston Bay Snapper (aka Sheepshead) are there for the taking, as are Redfish and Speckled Trout.

March
As the skies are becoming friendlier, the fish are biting more and more. Live shrimp works well for Speckled Trout, and Black Drum in all sizes are abundant this time of the year.
April

The waters are getting warmer, which means that the Speckled Trout spawning season is upon us. There’s plenty of Redfish and Sheepshead to chase, as well.

May

Speckled Trout are all the craze this month thanks to their consistent bite. Casting your line around shores and reefs is your best chance for catching bigger fish.

June

It’s getting quite hot on the water in June, so fishing action can be spotty. Thankfully, Speckled Trout and Redfish are still active, and you can also reel in a Shark here and there.

July

July is here and so is first-class fishing on Galveston Bay. Look for big Speckled Trout around underwater structures, and you can also hook Redfish and Sheepshead.

August

Speckled Trout is the star in the beginning of August, but toward the end of the month Bull Redfish are in the cards as they start spawning. Catch and release is recommended.

September

You can smell fall in the air and you can see it because the fish in the bay are starting to migrate toward the back of the bay. Redfish, Speckled Trout, and many more are in the cards.

October

In October, jetties are the place to be if you want to land your share of Redfish and Speckled Trout. You could also find a Flounder at the end of your line.

November
The Flounder season begins in November, so if they’re your prey of choice, this is the month to visit the bay. Reds and Specks are biting left and right as well.
December

Just because it’s December, doesn’t mean the fun on the bay has to stop. On the contrary, fishing for Flounder is excellent, while Speckled Trout and Redfish aren’t far behind either.
