Red Snapper Fishing in Galveston

Red Snapper
  • Size 5 to 20lbs
  • Food Value Excellent
  • Game Qualities Good
  • Habitats Nearshore, Offshore, Reef, Wreck

(Lutjanus campechanus)

Galveston is emerging as the runner up in Gulf Red Snapper fishing hotspots, with large fish available to target during summer in nearshore state waters (up to 10.35 miles out) at depths of around 120ft and more. Federal waters can be fished recreationally in June, but only for a short time frame (about 10 days, depending on the annual regulations).
 
During colder months, Snappers move farther out, at least 20 miles offshore, effectively disabling recreational angling from taking place. However, during this time, a number of catch share programs are available to sportfishers. These are offered by commercial fishermen as alternatives that allow going on trips and catching Red Snapper for free, with the option of purchasing fish from the landings afterwards.

Captain Anthony helped me catch my very first redfish and speckled trout along with other species! He was very hospitable and has very good knowledge of when and where fish will be. Definitely will be rebooking with him during my spring break!

Fishing is a gamble. We were very lucky that we caught some fish, but we did catch them towards the end of our trip We are from Washington state and when they said it was going to be warm out on the water I had no idea that it could be as hot as it was. We definitely didnโ€™t need coats or the winter ski hat I brought ? Make sure you bring water, snacks, and sunscreen.
