So we booked a 6 hour PM bay jetty trip with captain John. My fiancée, myself, 3 teenagers and a 8 year old. We caught, black-Tisha’s, stingrays, sheepshead, black drum, and more I can’t remember the names. He worked very hard keeping us baited, unsnagged, rigged up as on the fish. We booked a 6 hour trip but within 4 everyone was tired and ready to go. Lots of fish, good time, he was patient and answered the thousands of questions from the kids. If he’s available book here

This was my first Salt Water trip. I’ve done several fresh water trips and several guided hunts before. Big Tex. Was professional, kind and experienced when it comes to Salt Water fishing. His equipment was well maintained and his boat was very clean.  He knows how to navigate the rough waters to help reduce the risk of being drenched or thrown around. He cares for the environment and strives to maintain healthy habits when it comes to the impact of trash in our waters and the care of our future population of sporting fish. We enjoyed our trip so much, I registered for another trip in July with Big Tex.

John was the consummate professional with an exceptional personal touch. My son and I wanted to get out on the water and catch some things we hadn’t been able to catch before and Captain John put us on the fish. Besides the immaculate boat, great equipment, and the ease of
Booking with him, he truly made it a rewarding experience and I will book with him again with zero hesitation’s. If you’re an avid fishing pro, weekend warrior, or never fished before you are in exceptional hands with this guy. Thank you captain for truly making a phenomenal experience for
Myself and my son. We wish you the best and we’ll be seeing you soon!

My wife, two adult sons, and I went out of Galveston for the first time and I’m so glad we went with Captain John.

It was a calm, foggy morning so we headed for the jetty. We caught a good variety of fish, limiting out on sheepshead. Also caught a really nice (nearly 28”) slot red. We also caught about 20 hard head catfish that kept us all on our toes.

We also hooked a big fish that took all the line off the reel, had another that we fought for a long time before it broke the line, and another big sheepshead that spit the hook just before we got it in the net. Enough “big one that got away” stories for everyone.

Captain John was awesome through out! He did a great job on keeping shrimp on all our hooks and net our fish. He helped cast those that needed help to get in close to the shore. He never complained when we got snagged up in the rocks and he had to try to help free it or put on a new hook & sinker if the line broke.

He cleaned all our fish and got us on our way, just in time for his afternoon trip.

All in all, a good time was had by all. Really great experience!

My family and I had been on multiple fishing outings in the Galveston area and had caught one “keeper”.  After many disappointing trips,  we finally found a captain that we will definitely book again and can highly recommend.  All of my kids caught keepers and my wife was able to catch her first shark,  a bucket list item for her.  I highly recommend Captain John.  He kept us on the fish all day.  He was well prepared and professional and his knowledge was most impressive.  If you are looking for the best fishing captain in Galveston,  Captain John is your guy!
