When you're looking for consistent action and variety on Galveston Bay, nothing beats a solid jetty fishing trip. Our 4 to 6-hour charters put you right where the fish are feeding – around the granite rocks and structure that make these jetties legendary among local anglers. You'll be casting into prime real estate where saltwater meets structure, creating the perfect storm for hungry fish. Whether you've been fishing these waters for years or you're just getting your feet wet in saltwater angling, this trip delivers the goods with professional equipment and a crew that knows exactly where to put your bait.
The Galveston jetties are fish magnets, plain and simple. We're talking about massive granite structures that extend into the Gulf, creating underwater highways for baitfish and the predators that chase them. Your day starts with a quick boat ride to the jetties, where you'll immediately notice the difference in water color and activity. The rocks create current breaks, eddies, and ambush points that concentrate fish like nowhere else on the bay. You'll spend your time working different sections of the jetties, from the shallow inside waters to the deeper Gulf-side structure. Our captain reads the conditions and adjusts throughout the day – sometimes we're drift fishing the deeper water, other times we're anchored up tight to the rocks where the big boys like to hide. The action tends to be steady, which means you'll stay busy managing multiple rods and working through different techniques as conditions change.
Jetty fishing is all about reading structure and presenting your bait where fish expect to find food. We'll set you up with medium to heavy spinning gear that can handle the rocks and the fish that live around them. Most of the day you'll be fishing with live or cut bait on Carolina rigs – this lets your bait get down to where the fish are feeding while keeping your weight away from your hook. When the current's running hard, we'll use heavier sinkers to maintain bottom contact. For the more aggressive fish, we'll break out some artificials – soft plastics bounced along the rocks or topwater plugs worked through the current lines can produce explosive strikes. The key is staying in contact with the bottom structure while avoiding hang-ups in the rocks. Our crew will coach you through the techniques and help you feel the difference between a fish bite and a rock tap – it's a skill that comes with practice, but once you get it, jetty fishing becomes addictive.
The jetties are home to an impressive variety of species that rotate through based on seasons, tides, and bait movements. Redfish are the bread and butter around these rocks – they cruise the jetties year-round, using the structure to ambush crabs and baitfish. These copper-colored fighters typically run 20 to 30 inches around the jetties, with the occasional bull red pushing the slot limit. They're notorious for making long, powerful runs that test your drag and your nerves. Black drum are another jetty staple, especially the bigger specimens that can push 20 pounds or more. These bottom-huggers have incredible pulling power and will use every rock and crevice to try to break you off. Sheepshead show up when the water cools down, and they're some of the craftiest fish in the bay – they'll steal your bait faster than you can set the hook if you're not paying attention. Speckled trout work the jetties when conditions are right, particularly around dawn and dusk when they move shallow to feed. Spanish mackerel and king mackerel cruise through during their seasonal migrations, providing fast action on lighter tackle. The variety keeps things interesting – you never know what's going to grab your bait next, which is exactly what makes jetty fishing so addictive for anglers of all experience levels.
