About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Dan and prepare for an action-packed day of fishing the jetties! The jetties are the perfect spot to catch some big fish without a long offshore excursion.

On this 4 to 6-hour trip, Captain Dan will take you close-by off the coast of Galveston where you can expect to target Cobia, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, and Speckled Trout. With his 16 years of experience, Captain Dan is sure to put you where the fish are biting.

To attract these picture-worthy fish you'll be using various fishing techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, gigging and trolling. Captain Dan is happy to demonstrate proper fundamentals for any of these techniques.

Captain Dan fishes aboard a 36’ Contender center console, with a capacity for six people. Powered by 3 100 HP Suzuki engines, this well-outfitted vessel is sure to keep you comfortable. It even has curtains to keep you dry from any ocean mist!

Captain Dan will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. All you need is a valid Texas fishing license as well as some food and drinks. These family-friendly trips can host up to 6 people, so make sure you bring some good company!

Captain Dan

Independent Guide 19 yrs of exp.

Captain Dan has been offering Galveston offshore fishing charters for over 15 years. He prides himself on his eagerness to put anglers on fish like Blackfin Tuna, Amberjack, Kingfish, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and more!

As Captain Dan puts it, "I love chartering because it gives me the opportunity to show people a little piece of what our beautiful coast has to offer. A beautiful scenery, good fishing, and good southern hospitality! This is why we at this charter are addicted to what we do!"

Captain Dan offers his offshore fishing trips aboard his 36' center console Contender, "Pontos". The boat is complete with triple Yamaha F250's so you can be first to the fishing grounds. It also has all the amenities of a professional fishing charter boat, including a Simrad chart plotter, radar, VHF and AIS, an 8-person life raft, dual live well stations, spray curtains to help keep you dry on windy days, and multiple coolers on board for drinks, snacks, and your catch!

Our trips last Thursday and Friday were with Dan and Saul (both boats were Dan’s). I think both guys tried. Sometimes the fish bite and sometimes they don’t. That’s why they call it fishing and not catching. This said, I was unpleasantly surprised that most of both days we spent ...Read More
