July fishing trip

I gave my husband, son in law and grandson a fishing trip for Fathers Day and they had the best time with Captain Jerry! He is great with kids and they caught plenty of fish! Storms were rolling in through Galveston this morning so Captain Jerry called to delay the trip to let the storms pass instead of just canceling. His first mate was super nice and my grandson said he liked this trip the best out of the others they have taken over the years. We will for sure book again with Captain Jerry our next trip to Galveston!!!  Thanks for giving my guys such a fun trip and making their day!!

Half Day birthday fishing trip

Had a great time taking my 82 year old father out to fish.

4 hr trip with Captain Jerry

My family had a blast on our jetty fishing trip! Captain Jerry has a great heart and quick wit and was a pleasure spending a few hours with on the boat. We caught plenty of fish in all the species we were hoping for. The Captain’s expertise and friendly connections made sure we found the ‘hot spots’ to keep on catching! 
The highlight of our trip was hooking into a large Jack Crevalle and orchestrating a team effort to land it after a good fight. We also enjoyed catching plenty of speckled trout, sheepshead, redfish, and catfish. As catch and release fishermen, we appreciated the extra care spent in making sure all our catches were handled correctly and released quickly in order to not disrupt their health. 
A unique part of this charter was the included “first mate”, who was fantastic at helping us keep our lines in the water with fresh live bait, and netting our catches. The boat itself is very comfortable and large, with shade to retreat to if needed and a proper toilet, which was a huge selling point for my mother.
Our experience with this charter was amazing, and we would absolutely book them time and time again if we find ourselves back on the island. Thanks y’all for the memories!

Excellent Morning Jetty Trip

Our trip was great and although we didn’t catch any “whoopers!” We had an excellent time. Jerry and Brian were a lot of fun.  Captain Praker kept us very informed. We would definitely recommend The Stray Cat and once you meet the captain you will know why the name of the boat. 

Half day trip with Captain Praker

This was a fun action packed fishing excursion for my family. The sheepshead were biting but getting them landed was tricky yet four of the five in our group caught limits. Brian the first mate was fun and good with the kids and Captain Jerry was personable and knowledgeable. I will definitely book a trip with them again whenever I'm in the area!

Sheepshead 

Weather can be cold, windy, and wet. But in between showers you will enjoy catching Sheepshead and Drum near the jetties and large Redfish and Drum in deeper water.&nbsp;

February sees foggy mornings and large Redfish and Trout being caught over deeper ledges. Drum and Sheepshead are caught near the jetties and make for some great eating.&nbsp;

Water temperatures increase and the fishing heats up just in time for Spring Break. It can be windy, but the back lakes and marshes provide protected waters full of smaller Redfish.

Speckled Trout and Redfish increase as the water heats up, with Sheepshead still a good catch and a good meal. Shark fishing gets exciting and Bull Reds and huge Black Drum appear.

Enjoy&nbsp;80-degree temperatures and sunny skies. Trout and Redfish fishing is good, and you can also catch Bull, Hammerhead, Black Tip, Spinner, Sand Bar, and many more Sharks.&nbsp;

Red Snapper season opens in Galveston! You can also try night time Flounder gigging for something different, or trolling nearshore for Kingfish, Cobia, and more.

Limiting out on Speckled Trout, heading offshore for Red Snapper, exploring the Gulf for Cobia and Mahi Mahi, and gigging for Flounder and Drum&hellip; July in Galveston has it all.

Warmer temperatures see bay fish head into deeper water. At the same time, Kingfish come closer to shore for some line-screaming action. Flounder gigging is heating up.

Daylight hours shorten and temperatures start to drop. Bull Redfish start to come into the bay in huge numbers to spawn, with 30-40 fish being caught in a day sometimes!

Bull Redfish and Trout are spawning, leading to incredible numbers of fish being caught in and near the bay. Flounder gigging is at its best - these trips book up fast in October.

Flounder gigging season closes. Weather conditions become unpredictable, but Speckled Trout and Redfish are plentiful in the back lakes and marshes.

Flounder gigging season reopens and this is the best time to catch a GIANT. You can also fish the back lakes and marshes for Speckled Trout and Redfish.
