Make some memories on the water with Second Chance Fishing Charters, where Captain Bobby brings years of experience and a genuine passion for showing guests what Galveston fishing is all about. His goal is simple: give every group a day that feels fun, relaxed, and full of steady action. Whether you’re brand new to fishing or someone who spends every free moment chasing bites, you’ll find a trip here that fits your style.

Galveston offers one of the most diverse fisheries on the Texas coast, and Captain Bobby knows these waters well. Depending on the season and conditions, you may target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, and multiple Shark species including Blacktip and Bull Sharks. The bay system and jetty structure hold fish year-round, and each trip is adjusted based on what’s biting best. Expect to use light or heavy tackle while drifting or bottom fishing, giving anglers of all ages the chance to stay engaged throughout the day.

Families are always welcome, and kids often become the stars of the boat. Captain Bobby is patient, friendly, and happy to teach beginners the basics. If your child needs a smaller life vest, just ask ahead of time. Feel free to pack snacks, drinks, and sunscreen so everyone stays comfortable during the trip. Alcohol is allowed in moderation as long as you avoid hard liquor and glass containers.

Your ride for the day is a 24’ Sea Fox center console powered by a dependable 200 HP Honda four-stroke engine. It seats up to six guests and is designed for stable, comfortable fishing around the bay, jetties, and nearshore waters. All rods, reels, and tackle are included, as is live bait when available. You may assist in catching bait depending on conditions and preference.

While all gear is provided, guests must purchase a valid Texas fishing license before the trip. Some species have rules or tag requirements, so make sure you’re aware of current regulations. If you have questions, Captain Bobby is happy to point you in the right direction.
