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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Try hitting summer fishing, as the fish will be more active! But anytime is a good time.
