Shark fishing only

5 Hour Trip - Nearshore (PM)6 adults

It says nearshore but it is a shark fishing trip.

Response from Captain

Thanks Mason. And thanks for tipping! Considering that your previous charter prior to getting on my boat your daughter broke her arm. Your unlucky trail ends with me. The trips is advertised as shark species are what we target. Being that you fished 2 days after a hurricane I think we did well. I’ve attached some pictures of Ling caught on our Nearshore trips. One pic displays a 65 year old Lady with her Big Ling.

    AWESOME. TOTALLY INSANE

    4 Hour Trip — Jetty Fishing • 1 adult

    first time i have ever caught a tarpon, 36 inches,and it was the most amazing catch ever. we got into flounder, all not big enough to keep. we caught a few specks but only 1 keeper(fish tacos). and 1 big redfish that was a keeper. Captain Shannon is the best. its like going out with your best friend. he gets just as excited as you when your fighting tje big ones. If you want a great time and get on some good fish. get ahold of Captain Shannon at Galveston Offshore

    Best Trip and Best Captain Ever!

    4 Hour Trip — Jetty Fishing • 4 adults

    This was my family’s first fishing charter and it was absolutely awesome! Captain Shannon was the perfect guide for our experience! He was very welcoming, personable, patient, and excellent with instructions which led to catch after catch for our entire group, no matter how much fishing experience anyone had. He even gave us the best hassle free tips on where to go to get our fish cooked and prepared any way we like it.This was the perfect end to a wonderful day! Captain Shannon was the best!

    Great trip!

    5 Hour Trip — Nearshore • 6 adults

    Booked a trip for my son's 16th Birthday. Everyone had a good time and my son was able to catch a shark which was his goal. My wife even caught a 5-6ft bull shark! We didn't bring home dinner, but that's part of fishing. Capt.Shannon did his best to put us where we could catch something.

    Amazing Trip

    8 Hour Trip — Federal Offshore • 6 adults

    Went offshore with Captain Shannon and had a great time. He knew where to go and kept us on fish the whole trip. We got lines in quick and stayed busy. When the bite slowed, he moved us and it paid off. Gear was solid and ready the whole time. He kept things simple and easy to follow, so nobody felt lost. Boat ride was smooth even when it got a little rough. We landed some good fish and had fun doing it. I’d go back out with him again for sure.

    Awesome Trip!

    4 Hour Trip — Jetty Fishing • 4 adults

    Captain Shannon was fantastic to fish with. He is truly a master at his craft. Not only did he put us on some great fish (we did limit out), he was overall genuine, kind and from my brief interaction always tries to do things right. Case in point, we ran over ~500 ft of floating 3in rope on our way out in the dark (morning trip). He untangled it and pulled all of it in his boat, just so another boater wouldn't run over it (so much rope we couldn't even walk on 1 side of the boat). If your looking for a great human being who also knows how to fish extremely well, he's the one you want. He is defintiely a cut above. His first mate Blake was also a great deck hand. I highly recommend Captain Shannon (except for when I want to come back down and fish with him :) ).
