About Your Trip

Join Captain Shane at 6 AM for a morning excursion in the Galveston Bay. You'll be targeting Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Tarpon, making it a great trip for a serious trophy trout hunter or for somebody just looking to bring in a whole mess of fish!

Although Florida has become the hottest Tarpon fishery in recent years, the Texas coast is home to many of these beautiful fish, and if you want to battle with a fish that will test your strength, stamina, and fishing skills, you're in the right place! If you can handle the challenge, the “Silver King” is the fish for you. These fish are as tough as they are beautiful, and are a worthy opponent for any angler.

Captain Shane will provide the boat, ice for drinks and fish, rods and reels upon request, and all baits. All you need is a Texas Fishing License with Saltwater Stamp and any sun protection and snacks you may want out on the boat. You will need to bring along waders if you plan on wade fishing.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
