Captain Tim is fully licensed, insured, and experienced, dedicated to putting you on the catch while delivering an unforgettable time on the water. With over 40 years of family tradition fishing and gigging in Galveston Bay, we offer customized trips with flexible departure and return times tailored to your schedule. Our adventures are both family and pet-friendly, ensuring comfort and safety aboard our 20-foot custom-built boat designed specifically for fishing.
Our vessel is outfitted with a Honda fan motor, a 10” Garmin Echomap Livescope at the helm, a 9” Garmin display up front, a power pole, specially designed seats, and an oxygen system to keep live bait lively. You’ll begin your journey from our secure, well-lit location behind a locked gate, where you can park conveniently beside clean restrooms, giving you peace of mind that your vehicle and belongings are safe while you enjoy your outing.
We provide multiple fishing methods to suit your preferences. One of the most thrilling trips we offer is sight casting to schooling redfish in shallow waters. Thanks to our custom boat, we can reach those prime fishing spots with ease. We cruise along shorelines and flats to track down the fish, usually fishing in the morning with topwater lures, artificial baits, or live bait. All fishing gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and live bait, is provided.
Another excellent way to fill your cooler is by fishing with live bait collected fresh from the bay, such as mullet caught with a cast net, crabs, croakers, piggy perch, and shrimp — depending on availability and conditions. Our onboard oxygen system keeps your live bait healthy and active, enhancing your chances of success. We favor light tackle for live bait fishing, which offers an exciting challenge and helps safely land your catch. Techniques include bottom fishing on reefs, floating a cork, or free lining with the tide.
Redfish is our specialty, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy a memorable experience on the water. Ready to experience a true Texas tradition and bring home some of the bay’s finest-tasting fish?
