    Great trip!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    3 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    A perfect birthday experience for my Husband, not only did we enjoy the sights of the ocean view but we were also given a full fishing experience with Captain Mike. He’s very knowledgeable and taught us about some important info about regulations of fishing which was cool to know for future references. We were able to catch a Blacktip shark, a little challenging but really fun. The experience was one of a kind and we hope to have more great memories fishing with Captain Mike soon. 10/10 experience.

    Best Trip EVER!

    4 – 5 Hour Shark Trip - 2:00 PM • 2 adults • 1 child

    We've done a charter before, and it was alright, but I felt like it didn't quite hit the mark for a great trip. But my friend's never fished in the ocean, and my son really wanted to go again, so I started looking for what we wanted. After reading reviews and deciding what we'd go for, I got in touch with Captain Mike. We met up with him, and he was already ready for us, even though we were an hour early. We headed out to our spot to fish for Black Tip Sharks. After rigging up the rods for shark fishing, we only waited 5 minutes and we were on the fish! The first one was about a 6-foot black tip, and my buddy got him to the boat before the hook pulled out. My son was on one within seconds after, landing a 4-foot black tip. Minutes later, I hooked into an 8-foot spinner shark. Long story short, we hooked up with 7 sharks and tagged out on them. It was an awesome time! My son's already planning our next trip and wants to go shark fishing again with Captain Mike. I'd totally recommend Captain Mike's Guide Service to anyone who wants a great fishing experience at a really reasonable price.

    🔥🔥 ABSOLUTELY UNREAL TRIP WITH CAPTAIN MIKE 🔥🔥

    PM 5 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    I don’t even know where to start — this was hands down our BEST fishing trip yet!! We stacked it up: 🎣 2 speckled sea trout 🎣 5 black drum 🦈 2 Atlantic sharpnose sharks 🦈 2 massive 4 ft sandbar sharks Every fish was BEAUTIFUL and the action never stopped. Captain Mike had us on them the entire time — no guessing, no waiting around… just straight catching. The guy flat-out KNOWS what he’s doing. And it didn’t stop on the water… We made it home and just had the BEST shark steak I’ve ever eaten — melted in our mouths🔥 Huge shoutout to the wife Ashley for absolutely killing it in the kitchen like always!! Austin and I were blown away — and my son grinning from ear to ear said: “ I don’t think regular fishing will ever be the same after hearing that line zip! ” To see the excitement in his face and hear him chatter the whole 5 hrs home was why I signed up. Big Hats off to Captain Mike for an unforgettable experience with many more to come.  If you’re even THINKING about booking a trip — stop thinking and call Captain Mike. This is the kind of trip you remember forever. 💯 We’ll be back — no question.

    it was the best trips weve had in Galveston.

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    We had an outstanding experience with Captain Mike. His knowledge of the area was exceptional, and he put us on the fish immediately. We caught a wide variety of species, including Spanish mackerel. Captain Mike was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable. We highly recommend him and look forward to fishing with him again!
