Keep in mind that some species may require special tags or have seasonal restrictions, and your captain will help you stay informed and compliant.
To ensure a smooth day, be sure to pack sunscreen (lotion only), polarized sunglasses, bottled water, snacks, and a small cooler. Beer is allowed in moderation (cans only), but glass containers and hard liquor should be left behind.

Galveston Jetty Fishing: Summer Thrills with Rock N Roll Charters
Non-stop bites all day long! Summer in Galveston, TX brought perfect conditions for our 5-Hour Jetty Trip with Rock N Roll Charters. I headed out early morning with Dalton and their crew of three, ready to target some redfish, trout, and sheepshead. The weather couldn't have been better as we set off from 715 N Holiday Dr. It was shaping up to be an ideal day for inshore fishing, and I was eager to show my crew what Galveston's waters had to offer. Rock N Roll Charters always aims to provide a memorable experience, and today was no exception. With our gear rigged and ready, we got straight to work. I decided to mix things up, employing a variety of techniques to give us the best shot at success. We started with some live bait fishing, which is often productive in these waters. As we moved along, we switched to popping cork fishing, a technique that can be particularly effective for attracting trout. We also did some drift fishing, letting the current work for us as we covered more area. While we didn't land any trophies on this run, every cast and minute on the water was worth it. The crew stayed engaged, and we had a great time working different spots around the jetty. Despite not sticking any fish, the day was far from a disappointment. The perfect weather, the camaraderie, and the chance to be out on Galveston's beautiful waters made for a fantastic outing. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having enjoyed a full morning of fishing and the thrill of the chase.

Steady Action on the Water with Summer Species in Full Swing
Fishing out of Galveston has been consistently productive this June, and Rock N Roll Charters is putting clients on the fish daily. With Captain Jim at the helm, anglers are enjoying solid catches both inshore and nearshore, taking full advantage of calm seas and warm Gulf waters. Inshore Bite: Speckled trout have been active around the jetties and deeper channels, especially during the early morning tide swings. Most fish are hitting live shrimp under popping corks, though soft plastics are also producing when worked slowly. Redfish are showing up in the marshes and along grass edges — many slot-sized, with the occasional oversized brute testing drags. Nearshore and Jetty Fishing: For those venturing a little farther out, the jetty and nearshore bite has been excellent. Sheepshead, black drum, and Spanish mackerel are being hauled in consistently. Free-lining shrimp near the rocks is a proven tactic, and cut bait has been bringing in some bonus bull reds and jack crevalle. Shark Trips: The summer shark trips are heating up — literally and figuratively. Blacktips and bonnetheads are common within a few miles of the beach, and Rock N Roll Charters has all the heavy tackle ready for those looking to test their strength. Family-Friendly Fishing: If you're bringing the kids, the bay trips are perfect. Plenty of action, light tackle, and a good mix of species to keep everyone smiling.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Jim put us on Black Drum shortly after leaving the marina, and we had steady action right away. Once we were happy with the catch, we moved to a new spot to target Sheepshead. We landed several, plus a surprise Trout to top things off. Overall, it was a great trip with plenty of bites and a good variety of fish!

We brought our 9- and 6-year-old kids along, and the crew went above and beyond to keep them engaged and having fun. The weather was rough, which made fishing a challenge, but we still managed to catch some fish. The crew worked hard the entire time, constantly adjusting lines and adapting to the shifting wind and boat movement. Their effort and attitude really stood out. It was a great experience overall, and we’d absolutely recommend them—especially for families with kids!

We landed the biggest fish we’ve ever caught! The bay was busy and the water was choppy, so we didn’t get any table fish, but Captain Jim went above and beyond to make sure we hooked into some monsters. It was an awesome experience for five wild guys on a boys trip. Eloy, the first mate, was super knowledgeable, helpful, and kept us laughing the whole time. Both guys were a blast to fish with—10/10 all around. We’ll definitely be back!
