What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Galveston, Texas for the first time?

I would reccomend to first timer fishers to take a fishing guide trip or go to a fishing pier and ask plenty of questions! Its the ocean, much different than fresh water. Its good to be informed!

Book a fishing trip with Captain Shannon. We had a wonderful and exciting time. We definitely would book again.

Just listen to what the Captain has to say. He knows what he is doing and will get you what you came fishing for!!! AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!

gotta be careful of the weather, it was sunny saturday, storming sunday and come monday morning on our trip it was humid and cold

Don’t expect to catch lots of fish, regardless of anyplace you go. But go with the mind set, of just being happy you got the chance to get out and fish!!!

windy mostly....so ...those who dont like rough water... use motion sickness meds...took 2 fishing trips in rough an smooth water...an had lots of sick fisherman...

The largest Guide service is not always the best. July weather is unpredictable be patient and let the Captain take you to the action.

Capt Keepers went beyond our expectations and previous charter experiences. Will tailor a trip to fit what you're after

Talk to the locals before you buy any equipment, you don't need as much as you think. Bring enough water.

Check on the weather , if you like it hot go for it. It is muggy here in July for sure. We had a good fun experience fishing.

The summer months are better weather, but we had good conditions in May. Plus we used live shrimp under a cork. which made the fishing easy for us.

May fishing was great. We only did the 4 hr trip but caught fish right away. Weather was perfect. Warm but not hot, nice breeze. We would definitely do this again!!

Find a service that has an experienced captain or crew. Ask questions about your outing. Do some research before booking. Summer months are really the best time to go in Galveston.

Look at all reviews and let crew know what your expectations are for trip to see if they would fit your thoughts and expectations for what your looking for.

Wear sun screen and a hat. The reflection off of the water will burn you just as easy as the sunlight will. Relax and enjoy the trip and let your guide do their job in finding the fish.

Be prepared for cool conditions. We were a little cold because we didn't prepare well. Bring layers, and you will be fine.

Fish during the good season. Fishing in March can be difficult. The season in March can be good and can be bad, just depends on several things.

Spring months offer different fish than in the summer months. Talk to your guide to see what fish you’ll target before you book.

If its gonna be cold and rainy I'd still fish but bring a rainsuit and dress warm! Captain Aaron Grace is a great guide!

March in Galveston can be tricky weather wise so plan accordingly. It can be shorts weather one day, coats and gloves the next.

Yes, but with fluctuating temperatures from the 40's,50's and 60's the fish move around quite a bit. It helps to know those patterns.

Trust the guides! Our guide, Cody Phillips grew up in the area and has spent his life fishing these waters.

Book with Dream Catcher Charters, you can not go wrong with this charter company.

Try hitting summer fishing, as the fish will be more active! But anytime is a good time.

December isn’t prime time but our side of coming in the wrong season we have zero complaints

The weather can change by the day, watch the weather forecast and bring appropriate clothes.

Dramamine for first time Boaters/Anglers beginning the day before the trip is a must!

This was our first time, and we all caught a fish, but he said they usually are biting better

Weather can be hit or miss same with the fish. The red fish do seem to be running in October.

Do it! Your Captain will provide you with their knowledge and expertise, an amazing adventure!
