There’s fishing boat captains and then there’s Big Mike and his first mate Peyton. The difference is while most fishing boat captains want to get you into the fish, Big Mike puts you on the fish and keeps you there until your arms fall off. Peyton works his butt off tossing fish in the box and rebaiting your hooks all while ensuring you as the customer are having the greatest time catching monsters. I’ve spent countless hours, days and weeks fishing all over this planet and I can say that fishing with these two was easily the best experience I’ve ever had on a boat. Big Mike took the time before the trip to talk with me and find out not only my objective for the trip but what I’ve always wanted to catch. 22 years of chasing bill fish and Mike put me on not just one but three within seconds of dropping the first lines of the day. He made not only my day but my decade. You just can’t beat this Captain and crew. Truly among the best.

Line Check Charters was GREAT!  Captain Mike called us the night before to discuss the fishing report and make some recommendations based on what we were looking to catch.  He was spot on with his recommendations…the next morning we met our boat captain Eric and he immediately put us on the fish and kept us on until it was time to head in.  Captain Eric was great with my 10 year old son and made it a trip we’ll both remember!  We’ll be back next year to fish with Line Check Charters again!

Communication was excellent… from the jump, Capt. Eric made sure that the kids had a blast. First time the kids got
To experience open water fishing, and it did not disappoint. I know who my first call is going forward, for fishing Galveston.
Thanks to Capt. Mike and Eric for making it a great day for our family.

Captain Mike and crew were the best! My family and I have experienced many offshore/inshore fishing trips in the Galveston area. What makes him our best experience- educating us when we ask questions,  patience,  expertise and great knowledge of the area. We will be back and use Line Check Charters again. Thanks again Kai & Tosha Peterson.

Great experience for our family with 3 teenage boys. Captain Mike was great and was very helpful and attentive. We would highly recommend him!
