Galveston Fishing

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.
