Fishing in San Luis Pass

If you’re looking for an action-packed angling experience on the prolific Texas shores, San Luis Pass fishing charters have got you covered! This area, where the rich waters of Galveston Bay meet the mighty Gulf of Mexico, is a prolific fishery that’s bound to give you a run for your money. Water flows in and out of this skinny passage, bringing with it a variety of fish species you'll be able to target.

When it comes to the fish, there’s hardly a more unique spot in the area. You’ll find all the inshore stars, including the famous Texas trifecta of Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. Black Drum, Sheepshead, Tarpon, Mackerel, Sharks… whatever side of the pass you’re on, these fish are all in the cards!

Depending on where you’re heading out of, you can book either a half day or a full day trip. If you’re looking for a family trip you can take your kids on, consider booking a half day. The more experienced anglers might enjoy a bit more time on the water, and heading out on a full day trip is the best way to fill the bags.

You’ll find fishing charters in a variety of places around San Luis Pass. This includes Galveston Island, as well as Oyster Creek and Surfside. These spots have easy access to both the Gulf's waters and Galveston Bay, so you can easily cast a line on either side of the pass.

Rules & Regulations

When it comes to regulations, San Luis Pass follows Texas state laws. This means that everyone age 17 or older is required to have a Texas fishing license, regardless of whether they’re heading out on a fishing charter or on their own.

San Luis Pass Fishing Seasons

January

Despite cooler water temperatures, you can still start your year off with a bang by heading to San Luis Pass, where you’ll find Bull Redfish and Speckled Trout making an appearance.

February

Visit the pass in late February, and you’ll be greeted by huge Black Drum! Redfish and Speck fishing remains strong, and you may encounter tasty Sheepshead, too.

March

The Black Drum run continues through the beginning of March, and swarms of Spanish Mackerel enter the pass from the Gulf. Head under the bridge to target the spring Specks that gather here. 

April

Spring has truly sprung, and with it come some world-famous Shark species! The waters of the Gulf push Bull, Tiger, Blacktip, Hammerhead Sharks, and more into the pass.

May

In the waters under the bridge, you’ll find Jack Crevalle, trophy-sized Trout, and Shark species lurking. The bay and Gulf sides of the pass are both plentiful, with Bull Redfish being a popular catch.

June

This month sees anglers from far and wide flocking to the pass to take advantage of the incredible Redfish population! The warm weather brings Tarpon, Shark species, trophy Specks, and plenty of other species, too.

July

The pass is brimming with world-famous fish from both the bay and the Gulf: Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Sharks, and Jack Crevalle are all on offer. Bull Reds and Gator Trout are especially plentiful in the bay.

August

If you’re looking to fish the pass now, make sure you book well in advance – the warm weather and abundance of species on offer mean that charters are in high demand! Speckled Trout, Sharks, and more are on offer.

September

Temperatures start to drop, but the fishing stays hot! Redfish flock in high numbers to every part of Galveston’s bay system, which means you’ll find plenty of them caught in and around the pass.

October

It’s spawning season for Bull Redfish and Speckled Trout, so if you want to hook yourself some tasty table fare, this is the time to visit! These fish make homes between the sandbars of the pass in huge numbers.

November

If you want the waters to yourself, November is a great time to test your skills at San Luis Pass. Many of the Gulf’s species have moved on, but you’ll find huge Redfish and Speckled Trout in abundance.

December

There’s still time to end the year in the best way! Head to the pass and get ready to get your share of  Bull Redfish and trophy-sized Trout that this part of Texas has to offer.

What anglers said about fishing in San Luis Pass

We did federal waters, catch and release, while the season is closed. The fish were hungry enough we couldn't keep them off our hooks. If you don't need anything to take home, that's the way to go.

Absolutely amazing time. Captain Marshall was outstanding! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Got us on fish within 5 mins of anchoring and we didnโ€™t stop catching fish until our time was up. He was just excited as we were with all the fish we were catching. If you want a great experience at a reasonable price, I definitely would choose this crew. We will be back! Thank you again for giving my kids an amazing experience!

The first time I went out on a private charter boat for saltwater fishing with 5 of us. The weather was OK. The captain was really great, friendly and helpful all the way from beginning to the end, cleaning and packing all the fish for us. Thanks a lot captain Marshall Booker. We won't forget you, looking forward to booking another trip with you in the future. Also we will recommend whoever we run into that have an interest in going fishing on a charter boat. Bye now!

We went out with Cpt Jeb during Spring Break. He was great with my sons ages 13 and 9. Overall we caught bull redfish, red snapper, and a dogfish ( in shark family). We really enjoy using this fishing charter when we are in the area. We used them last Spring Break as well! Definitely a great choice if you are looking for someone to put you on the fish!

Bagged out on reds and caught many more. Equipment looked very clean and well taken care of. Would 100% recommend this charter to others, and they will definitely be my first call for a charter in the Texas gulf.
