Galveston Fishing

Galveston is arguably the best fishing destination in Texas. With legendary fishing action from the Galveston Bay to the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, there is a wide variety of species to catch in this fishery.

Offshore fishing Galveston will produce great catches of Dorado (Dolphinfish), Kingfish, Tuna, and Billfish. With huindred of domes and platforms in the deep water, there are many places to catch the fish of a lifetime.

Bottom fishing around Galveston provides the opportunity to catch Amberjack, Grouper, Snapper, and Sharks. There are thousands of reefs close to shore, so you won’t have any problem finding a place to drop a line. Also, many different inshore species of fish such as Black Drum, Cobia, Croaker, Flounder, Redfish, Sea Trout, and Tarpon can be found around Galveston.
