We essentially had a privet trip since it was only the four of us, the captain and his deck hand which was nice. The wind was high so we ended up fishing near shore…. places we could have fished for free. They also seemed to not be equipped for this kind of fishing. The hooks where to small and the shrimp (I would have used squid) kept getting pulled out without catching the fish, to make matters worse there wasn’t enough weights on the lines to keep them on the bottom when more was requested the deck hand informed us it was operator error….. overall it was a pleasant day but the day before when fishing in the ocean with just one person caught more fish…. today we caught 6 eatable fish in the 4 hours with a professional guide. If it had been my company or boat I would have offered to stop half way though and charged half price.

Went with my husband & 2 boys, and had a great time. We caught 10 or 11 keepers and thought our guide, Russell, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I’d recommend using him in the future. Tks for a great fishing trip!

The rating reflects not only my lack of knowledge of what to ask about fishing at sea, but also booking a trip during high volume fishing time.
Ask: How far out to sea will we go? (We did not go very far out to sea—I was thinking more
deep sea fishing)
How many seats are available for my party to sit on? (Their were 2 seats for 5
people during our 5 hour trip, also the boat depicted on fishingbrookers’ website is not
the one we went out on)
I understand when a crew is short-handed, however, the customer should be kept in the loop. Captain Mike did the best he could on the notice (I gather) that he had. We were asked to show up to Pier C at 0645hrs, call him, and he would have us picked up by golf cart. We shipped off a little later than expected 0710, not too big of a deal. (Advice for the crew, call the customer and let them know it’s going to be a little later than stated, I would of been okay with that.) After seeing the types and sizes of the fish through their website, it was kinda of a downer to catch the small fish that we did (once again, it could of been the time of year, and they can’t control the fish in the sea). I do have to say, the variety of the few fish we did catch was surprising. I have only catch freshwater fish. We caught a lady fish, black drum, speckled trout, catfish, stingray, and a croaker.Tony Floyd does not recommend Galveston Fishing Charter Co. #2Fished June 2017

This was a surprise trip for my husband and my dad for Father’s Day. My 8 year old son went along with them as well as my brother in laws. They allowed me to add a guest at the last minute and were always quick to respond to any questions via text. The guys had a blast and all said they would love to do it again. This experience for them was well-worth the price!

The boat and the captain were both great. We did expect to go out a little farther and to be able to catch some nice fish. But fishing is like a lot of other things, it is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Maybe next time.

We had the best fishing trip! We caught a lot of fish and caught onto a large jack fish and fought that fish for happy and a half and it was well worth it. Perfect day, perfect waters and we had Capts. Russell and Dereck with us and they definitely wanted and helped you have the experience you were looking for! We thought we had a record SheepHead today and it was shy 3lbs. But the excitement was there and had to bring him in to weigh. Everyone was excited to see the size of that fish! Thanks to Galveston Fishing Charter Co. we will be back again!

While the day was fun, it was sold as a deep sea adventure. I did not expect to go out very far for a half day ,I did expect to get away from the shore. Since we were targeting flounder, I guess that was what we needed to do. And we did catch our limit. I was just looking forward to a day at sea.As a group of seniors, we could have used seats in a bit better condition and a seat for each person. There were three of us and only seating for two.

My sister in law and I went out for 6 hours of fishing with Jonathan and it was amazining. He took great care of us and put us on the fish while we watched other boats looking longingly at us as we reeled in fish after fish. He provided great advice, funny stories and a great time. We caught several sharks along with tons of trout, whiting, flounder and other fish. Such a good time and we will definitely call him the next time we’re in Galveston to fish.

Captain Jonathan was outstanding. He took us to where the fish were. Caught two beautiful kingfish within 30 minutes. However, The weather was bad, we had 4 to 5 foot swells, and most of us were getting sick. I asked him to take us in closer. We went to a place a lot of boats were fishing in. They weren’t catching much. Captain J bated our lines and baited the water around us and we were pulling in fish left and right. He was baiting all five of us and three extra lines he had out. Caught a mess of sharks, and sand trout and one Spanish mackerel. Overall a very very good experience.

The trip was booked to coincide with a graduation so not fishing wasn’t an option. The weather was cold and rain. The captain was on time and took us to the jetty per the charter but the fish weren’t there and we spent the day waiting on a bite. 6 rods for 3 men fishing resulted in 1 black drum and 2 catfish. NOT an impressive day for the fare. I felt there should have been more spots to try, not just wait for a fish to come by….

We had a wonderful experience with Captain Jonathan. Day one was a little slow, but our captain moved us around to a variety of spots and we finally started catching some fish. Day two started slow as well, but soon my husband was hauling in more catfish then he could keep up with. He had to take a break and give his hand a rest. As we were just about to call it a day, we hooked a 40” Red Drum and a 30” Black Drum. Had a ball getting them into the boat. Captain Jonathan was so helpful and informative. He provided insightful ideas and we felt very comfortable asking for help. He made our two day fishing trips so enjoyable. We will be making more trips to Galveston in the future and will be asking for Captain Jonathan.

Aside from me getting slightly sea sick which i didnt know i would, the trip was amazing and the captain was the best! Jonathen was his him and if youd like to charter with this boat or company, i suggest asking for him, he was entertaining, my family never had to bit their own hook even tho we knew how lol. He really did an amazing job, and if we werent catching anything, he actually tried to find us another spot. Just amazing overall. (:
