I spent 20 years in the military and was always stationed near the water. So when I got out in 2017 my family and I wanted to settle near the coast. Since moving to the Texas coast in 2017 I fell in love with fishing and I spend all my free time on the water. When fishing I'm usually catering to family and friends making sure they are catching fish and having a good time. I discovered I preferred fishing in the company of others even more than fishing by myself so I decided to become a guide.

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore • 4 adults

    This was our second trip with Captain Eric and he is absolutely awesome. He is passionate about fishing and does everything possible to make sure that his passengers have a fantastic trip. Looking forward to sailing with him again in the next fishing season

    Had a good morning with Eric. He was super helpful with my son and elderly father. We stayed busy on the water and brought home some delicious fish to eat.

    Perfect, family friendly trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Jetty (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Eric is a great guide. Knowledgeable about the area and techniques for catching fish. We had a great time and caught a lot of really interesting fish! As a bonus, he's incredibly patient with young kids (we brought our 5 and 7 year old). Eric's calm personality and his own natural curiosity make him a great teacher for young kids (and adults) out on the water. Would absolutely recommend Captain Eric and plan on booking him again soon!

What's biting with Scouts Out Fishing Charters in Galveston

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!
