About Your Trip

Come on down to Texas City and join Captain Derek and experience an unforgettable day of fishing!

You can expect to target Blacktip Shark and Hammerhead Shark on your 6-hour adventure. Both of these species can exceed 6 feet in length, so make sure you get some good stretching in before the trip. Captain Derek is known for reeling in some pretty big fish.

You will be fishing on Captain Derek’s Blue Wave 2400 Pure Bay center console boat rigged out with the latest electronics from Simrad and MinnKota. The boat has plenty of deck space for fishing up to 6 people along with ample storage space and two large live wells. There is more than enough room for you and your fellow angling buddies to cast away.

Captain Derek Requires that you bring a valid Texas Fishing License, food and drinks (no glass), a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, and an ice chest to take your fish home. He will provide all fishing gear (rods, reels, and tackle) as well as ice for your food and drinks.

Book a trip today with Captain Derek for a fun and memorable day out with an accommodating and friendly captain!
