Capt. Corey runs trips out of Galveston aboard a 23’ Sea Pro Center Console. These waters are known for Redfish and King Mackerel, and he will show you how to catch them. With many years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water.

Fall patterns have begun, we have started to see monster red fish show up in the bay. Looks like they are gearing up for a great red run this september and october. Trout fishing was great before this cold front/wind blast weโ€™ve got. Once the sun comes back out and se warm up, it should resume. We have the makings for a great end of sumer and beginning of fall.

The bulls read have held steady. Tons of action. Weโ€™ve had great success fininding fish over 35โ€. Yesterday we landed a total of 14. Lost several others. We have also been catching a variety of other species such as black drum, sheeps head, and the occasional popano. Fishing patterns should be holding great through december.

Had a great trip, they were absolutely thrilled to reel in a few sharks. From the time we would reel one in, then BOOM another rod bent. These are my favorite kind of days!
