Visiting Galveston to go on a cruise and had an extra day.ย The team called and warned of worsening weather that day and asked us if we could arrive early, which worked well for our schedule.
Once on the boat, captain Bubba said the bay and jetty are poor fishing this time of year and took us out to deeper water (about 25โ).
We caught 5 black drum between 35 and about 55 lbs.ย We did catch and release.
It was a great experience and Captain Bubba and deckhand Jason were great.ย They chatted as we fished and made some recommendations for the rest of our trip.ย
The weather was perfect, and I was in short sleeves in early February while fishing.ย Our crew recommended the shark hunt during warmer months.
Overall an excellent experience for my wife and I.

Awesome trip out with Captain Bubba! We had three adults and 2 boys (5&6), had a little sea sickness and water was a bit rough where we were so he took us to where the water was calmer since he had little ones aboard. If you want a trip out that is tailored to fit you, experienced captains, and a great experience overall book with Salty Rods! Captain Bubba and Cheryl thanks again for taking the time after the trip to let the boys fish off the boat and dock-they canโt stop talking about it. We will see you the next time we make it down this way!

We had the best time on our fishing charter! We had to cut the trip short due to one of our friends getting motion sick, but instead of going in and calling it quits, they suggested we go closer to shore where there are less waves and go for smaller fish. I am so glad we did that instead of calling it! The one that was sick ended up having a great time and catching the most fish! We might not have caught any keepers this trip, but we caught fish and had an great time and thatโs what we were there for! I would highly recommend this charter and would definitely do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks again!

Booked fishing trip for my young sonโs birthday. The day before the trip, Salty Rods Charters called and said Rod Bending Charters will be taking us. My family enjoyed the trip overall. It was definitely an adventure. We caught 4 huge fish and seen plenty of dolphins. However, my request to go fishing for smaller fish that my son could actually reel in by himself was ignored.
