Make an adventure out of your next trip to Galveston and go fishing with Michael Regan.

You’re likely to go after Speckled Trout, Redfish, Pompano, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Flounder, Sheepshead, Tripletail, Spanish Mackerel, and more, depending on when you go. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Michael also offers fly fishing.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to keep ‘em happy!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 24’ Kenner bay boat that holds up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t leave home without sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
