Beginner's Luck: Redfish & Weakfish Bite in Galveston Bay
Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Jose out for a 5 Hour Inshore Fishing trip in Galveston Bay this summer. We launched from League City, TX in the early morning, ready to chase some fish. The weather was a bit iffy to start, but we knew it was supposed to clear up in the afternoon. There was a chance of strong storms, so we kept an eye on the sky as we headed out. It's always an adventure with Corks And Croakers, and this trip was no exception. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. I showed Jose the ropes of inshore fishing, focusing on some beginner-friendly techniques. We started off with live bait fishing, which is always a solid choice in these waters. As the day progressed, we mixed it up with some popping cork action and tried our luck with soft plastic lures. The variety kept things interesting, and it was great to see Jose picking up the techniques quickly. Our persistence paid off when Jose hooked into a nice Spotted Weakfish. It put up a good fight, measuring in at 17 inches - a respectable catch for sure. We also managed to land some Redfish, which are always a blast to catch in Galveston Bay. The fish were biting, and we had a great time working different spots around the bay. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, despite the threat of storms that never fully materialized. If you're thinking about giving inshore fishing a try in Galveston Bay, our Beginner-Friendly Galveston Bay Fishing Trip is the perfect way to start. At Corks And Croakers, we specialize in getting newcomers hooked on the sport while also providing exciting trips for experienced anglers. Our 5 Hour Inshore Fishing trips are a great introduction to what the bay has to offer. You'll get hands-on experience with techniques like live bait fishing, working a popping cork, and using soft plastic lures.

The waters around League City and Galveston Bay are teeming with fish, and summer is a prime time to get out there.

Chilly Challenge on Galveston Bay: Trout Triumphs & Tough Bites
Highlight of the day. Couple of bulls to tug on. Jeff,Haley and Matthew worked very hard in the cold. Unfortunately so much water was blown out of the bay yesterday. Couldn’t find where they were hiding. Haley started the morning with a perfect trout just under 20” followed by Jeff with a 19.5” trout. Then the ships started rolling by and muddied the water. Couple nice drum in the box but slim pickings today. #corksandcroakers Water should get back to normal. Christmas week has availability.

Spring reds are in full swing. Catching large numbers of BIG REDS! Fishing the shallow grass in the marsh. Popping cork and live shrimp is what their eating.

I’m recommending Capt Mike as a great fishing guide he has the experience to show you how to fish no matter what level fisher person you are. I fished with him on numerous occasions and every time I have learned somethings that I used on my own solo fishing trips . As for a tourist fisher people I recommend him for his knowledge of the galveston area fishery. Happy fishing people

This was my husband's first time to ever fish. His first cast, he caught his first fish! Captain Michael was very patient and kind when explaining the basics of fishing. My husband caught on in no time. I had not gone fishing in 10 years. With a few pointers and reminders, I was back in the game. We would definitely recommend Captain Michael and this trip and plan to book with him again in the summer.

Capt Mike is an awesome guide. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and gave great pointers throughout our trip. The boat is clean and was easy to accommodate our 3 people. I will definitely use Mike again next time the water calls to us!
