He has always been passionate about the pristine beauties of the Galveston/Freeport Bay complex. To this day he is still amazed by the place he gets to call his office. Captain Tim has been a professional guide for over 20 years and has had the privilege of guiding all over the country.

    Great Trip with Capt Tim

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We had a trip with Capt Tim post Tropical Storm so I wasn’t expecting much. Tim worked really hard to get us a limit of trout which we did and was able to experience a Jack Crevalle which was awesome. Tim is not the kind of guide where if it’s slow fishing, he’s going to just sit in one spot hoping you catch some. He’s constantly rotating spots to get you on fish, the man really works hard to get you on em. I felt like I was just fishing with one of my buddies, today. I HIGHLY recommend Captain Tim and will be fishing with him anytime I’m in the area.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Response from Captain

    Great trip, large trout and others

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had a great 6-hour trip. trip. Captain Tim took us to some great spots. We limited out on speckled trout and even caught a few oversized ones which we released. Also caught redfish, skipjacks, black drum, and of course a few proverbial hard heads and gas tops. The weather was iffy but Captain Tim stayed in touch with us every day to monitor if the weather was going to cooperate.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout
    Response from Captain

    thanks again, Buddy. I really enjoyed fishing with y’all. Hopefully, we can do it again sometime.

    First Saltwater Trip for Twin Grandsons.

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 3 children

    Had an awesome time with Captain Tim Meador. We limited on speckled trout with most running 17-19 inches. Released several over 20. The boys really enjoyed Captain Tim showing them the ropes on catching trout with croakers. A limit of trout on their first trip, hard to beat that.

    Response from Captain

    thanks buddy. I really enjoyed fishing with the boys. They are great kids and you should be very proud of them. Hopefully, we can do it again someday.

What's biting with Meador’s Guide Service – Freeport in Freeport

The weather gets more wintery as fall draws to a close. Unpredictable weather can limit offshore trips. Inshore, Flounder is biting as well as ever, while Speckled Trout and Redfish are consistent in the back lakes and marshes.
