I am the owner and the operator of Corks And Croakers and I have been fishing the Galveston Bay complex for over 15 years. Boating, fishing, and being on the water are the things I enjoy the most. I have participated in many charity tournaments and guided many anglers in preparation for such competitions. My biggest catch is a 29 inch Speckled Trout.

    Great Anniversary Trip!

    Fall Redfish and Speckled Trout • 2 adults

    This is our 2nd trip with Captain Mike & we will book with him again. A wise man once said, “marry someone who likes to fish,” so this was the perfect way to spend our 44th anniversary. A great morning on the boat, a beautiful rainbow over the water, and fresh fish to bring home.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    GOOD TRIP OVERALL

    Fall Redfish and Speckled Trout • 2 adults

    Capt Mike was very professional. We got a little bit of a late start so we missed part of the morning tide. we caught Reds and Trout but no limits. what we did catch is going to be a great meal for the family. if you want a good trip with a guide book Mike. We’re already planning the next trip. THANKS CAPT MIKE

    Thanks for taking time to write your review. Twice as many fish next time would be a great trip.

    Great time

    Winter special 3 anglers max • 1 adult

    I had a great time with Mike and he got us into a fair number of fish. Caught a number of redfish of various sizes as well as one of the largest sheepshead I have ever seen. Just know that Mike is not a frivolous talker and my take was that if he had nothing to say then he didn’t feel the need to talk. I had a great time and would go again!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Sheepshead

    Response from Captain

    LOL!! Thanks for your review. 100% accurate. I talk to teach and educate. Then it’s focused fishing in peace and quiet.

What's biting with Corks and Croakers in Texas City

This is the perfect time for landing a volume of Bull Redfish and Trout that come closer to the bay to spawn. Despite the weather getting colder, Flounder gigging has never been hotter.

Summer bite is on!!

Just a few pics of my recent trips. Fishing is great. It will only get better. June was a productive but challenging month with all the wind and weather. Looking for July and August to be on fire.
