About Your Trip

This trip is perfect for those who love some excitement while fishing. Trying to bring in one shark is an action packed sequence, but getting to do it for 4 hours straight is 100% pure adrenaline. It's not uncommon to catch 10-20 sharks on any given trip, so make sure you are well rested. If you are not looking for a super intense shark hunt, don't worry! Captain Shawn can tailor the trip based on your preferences.

Some of the sharks you may catch include Blacktips, Bulls, spinners, Hammerheads, bonnet head, antlantic sharp nose, and sand bar but you truly never know what's looming below the surface. Book a trip to find out!

About Your Guide

Captain Shawn

Independent Guide 15 yrs of exp.

Captain Shawn carries over 20 years of experience fishing the Galveston Bay Complex onto his 2007 Robalo with twin 250 Yamaha outboards. His experience has led to success fishing competitively and over 35 tournament wins. Captain Shawn will teach you how to catch some trophy sized fish, while also having wild amounts of fun.

Although jetty and deep water structure fishing within Galveston Bay are Captain Shawn's forte, he can still wade a shoreline with artificial, fish the spoils along the channel, or drift the midbay reefs. No matter what sort of fishing trip you are after, you will be glad that Captain Shawn is the captain. Even better, all tackle (including rods, reels, lures, and bait) and fuel are furnished for all trips at no extra charge.

So this definitely was not the experience we were hoping to have. Our Captain showed up late it very much appeared that he was hungover and or he just didn't have any desire to be there. Everybody has their bad days but speaking as a former hunting and fishing guide ...Read More

Trip was good. Timely departure, waters were nice. Unable to catch much fish that day, but fish were there just not biting. Overall experience was good. I liked Captain Shawn and will do future bookings.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

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!
