Speck bite is ?!!!

Mar 18, 2024 Galveston

Fishing has been good for the month of March. Lots of trout and drum hitting the cleaning tables. Reds are little tough, but they should improve as water warms.

Warmer temps heating up fishing!!

Feb 13, 2024 Galveston

Fishing is improving daily with warmer temps. Lures and shrimp with corks have been key.

We had a fabulous trip with Captain Mike just before the holiday. I’d booked the trip to take my brother from the Seattle area out to experience gulf fishing and couldn’t have picked a better day and boat. We caught drum, sheepshead, redfish and a limit of trout. Mike knew where to go and how to fish and his gear was top notch. We really had a good time and we’ll do this again.

I thought it was a pretty good day. It was a catch and release trip, and we caught trout, and you wanted a red. I informed you they were tough, and we worked hard and caught one. It’s not always catching, but we caught some fish. Don’t understand the low rating, but ok. It was a grind of a day, but I can’t help that end of it. I gave you an effort and we caught some fish. Sorry you did not enjoy the trip, and you rated me 2 weeks later..
