Book with John Dean
Discover the fishing opportunities waiting in the waters around Tiki Island and Galveston Bay with Dean’s Guide Service. Captain John, a seasoned guide with over a decade of experience, leads trips through some of Texas’s most productive fishing grounds. You’ll have the chance to catch Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Flounder, Black Drum, and Redfish—species vary depending on the season.
Captain John tailors each trip to match your preferences, whether you prefer drift fishing, anchoring, or wade fishing with live bait. His goal is to provide a smooth, enjoyable outing that fits your style. Families and beginners are welcome—children’s life vests are available, and the atmosphere is always friendly and supportive.
You'll fish aboard a 24-foot center console boat that comfortably holds up to five passengers. Outfitted with quality rods, reels, tackle, and safety equipment, the vessel is built for comfort and performance. Ask about live bait availability to customize your trip.
To prepare for your outing, make sure anyone age 17 or older has a valid Texas fishing license. You can purchase one online or ask Captain John for assistance. He'll also help you understand current rules around protected species and tagging.
What to bring:
We recommend packing sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and water for a comfortable trip. Dean’s Guide Service provides complimentary water and Gatorade. Guests may bring alcohol in moderation (please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles for safety reasons).
Whether you're planning a relaxing day on the water or looking to sharpen your fishing skills, Dean’s Guide Service is ready to guide you through the calm and productive waters of Tiki Island and Galveston.
