What anglers said about fishing in Galveston Bay

If you know you donโ€™t get sea sick, do at least a 4 hour trip. If you arenโ€™t sure if you will get sea sick or not, the 2 hour trip was perfect. Take lots of pictures.

Booking a trip is a great idea. I've been making random trips to Galveston for a few years, but the information and suggestions we got from the charter captain was priceless.

Come around early October for sure. And if you want to keep/eat any red drums make sure to buy tags when you purchase your online license.

be prepared to be chilly, then warm, then just right. Also be prepared that the weather can change at any given time- the water could be extra choppy and not a smooth ride. You may catch fish and I hope you do but it is not an absolute that you will catch and be able to keep what you catch. Enjoy the time it really is fun and beautiful.

Trust your guide to find the fish. October is comfortable weather but cool water is hard to find, and thatโ€™s were the fish are. Go for quality fish, not quanity. Guides know the spots, patience is needed. Enjoy conversation while fishing.

Weโ€™d recommend calling your Cptn upon approach to the dock/slip for specific directions as MapQuest will more than likely get it wrong. Ask me how I know! ?

Yes, fishing in September in Galveston is a great time to catch really nice fish. I would recommend going with someone like Captain Kemp if you need services.

Had a slower time when we went (12-4pm) but still had a great time! Sounded like it was busier in the morning. Next trip will likely do the morning trip.

It's a little too hot, next time would go in October/November or in the Spring, but that highly depends on weather.

Roland Martinez I felt was a great deal. He had the best bait and was enjoyable to have around my family.

Itโ€™s a very good place to fish year round. Any guide who has grown up in the area will know where to catch fish in greater Texas City area but depending on time of year, general conditions, one may catch game fish but much more one type over another.

Sunscreen & a patch if you think you could become sea sick or even if youโ€™re not sure. You wonโ€™t need too many snacks. Water is great to have.

Recommend booking a morning trip this time of year. We got out and caught fish and returned before the heat ever started.

Let the Captain know exactly what you expect from your experience. He can only meet your goals if he is made aware of them. Be reasonable in your expectations. The crew can only control what happens with the boat, fish and good weather are not a guaranty.

Get a quality guide if youโ€™re an amateur angler. My son has spent 5 days fishing and pulled a few bait fish and catfish, nothing worth having. Our guide Bubba had us pulling bait fish left and right as soon as we got there, and maybe a hour tops before hitting our first of two sharks. Made the day awesome and the trip super for my kids!
