What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Galveston, Texas for the first time?

We waited and booked when we knew the water and weather were good. Very kid friendly and we learned a lot about the fishing. I would book again. My boy will remember his big catch for the rest of his life.

Be sure to get your license before the store closes. Walmart and academy close early. Walmart stops selling license at 10. I would recommend going to the marina bait shop. It opens at 6:00 am and is right there.

The conditions were not ideal but Mike an Travis found the fish and we had a great time. They were very tentative to my wife with it being her first time on a fishing boat. They supplied everything else needed.

It definitely was advantageous and fun filling! We had so much fun. Boyfriend took his pole, but the captain provides everything including filleting the fishes. We caught 2 reds and sheep head. The weather was beautiful. I'll recommend this charter

Book a fishing trip with Captain Shannon. We had a wonderful and exciting time. We definitely would book again.

Just listen to what the Captain has to say. He knows what he is doing and will get you what you came fishing for!!! AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!

gotta be careful of the weather, it was sunny saturday, storming sunday and come monday morning on our trip it was humid and cold

we were after flounder and we got them - - we will be fishing the Galveston waters again for sure

Don’t expect to catch lots of fish, regardless of anyplace you go. But go with the mind set, of just being happy you got the chance to get out and fish!!!

windy mostly....so ...those who dont like rough water... use motion sickness meds...took 2 fishing trips in rough an smooth water...an had lots of sick fisherman...

The largest Guide service is not always the best. July weather is unpredictable be patient and let the Captain take you to the action.

Capt Keepers went beyond our expectations and previous charter experiences. Will tailor a trip to fit what you're after

Talk to the locals before you buy any equipment, you don't need as much as you think. Bring enough water.

Check on the weather , if you like it hot go for it. It is muggy here in July for sure. We had a good fun experience fishing.

The summer months are better weather, but we had good conditions in May. Plus we used live shrimp under a cork. which made the fishing easy for us.

May fishing was great. We only did the 4 hr trip but caught fish right away. Weather was perfect. Warm but not hot, nice breeze. We would definitely do this again!!

Find a service that has an experienced captain or crew. Ask questions about your outing. Do some research before booking. Summer months are really the best time to go in Galveston.

Look at all reviews and let crew know what your expectations are for trip to see if they would fit your thoughts and expectations for what your looking for.

Be prepared for cool conditions. We were a little cold because we didn't prepare well. Bring layers, and you will be fine.

Wear sun screen and a hat. The reflection off of the water will burn you just as easy as the sunlight will. Relax and enjoy the trip and let your guide do their job in finding the fish.

Fish during the good season. Fishing in March can be difficult. The season in March can be good and can be bad, just depends on several things.

Spring months offer different fish than in the summer months. Talk to your guide to see what fish you’ll target before you book.

If its gonna be cold and rainy I'd still fish but bring a rainsuit and dress warm! Captain Aaron Grace is a great guide!

March in Galveston can be tricky weather wise so plan accordingly. It can be shorts weather one day, coats and gloves the next.

Yes, but with fluctuating temperatures from the 40's,50's and 60's the fish move around quite a bit. It helps to know those patterns.

Trust the guides! Our guide, Cody Phillips grew up in the area and has spent his life fishing these waters.

Give captain Shawn at Galveston fishing commander a chance. You wont be disappointed

Snapper, kingfish..offshore..about an hour ride Trout, redfish..inshore..about 30min ride to jettys

Hot but a lot of action. Captain said June & July are great months to fish in Galveston.

There are so many types of trips to take and choose from. Captain Alan was a great choice for me.
