Steve Hammack, Captain at Tejas Salt Fishing Adventures
Identity VerifiedFish Tejas Salt and discover some of the country’s best inshore fishing. Explore the Galveston Bay complex to fish for trout, redfish, and flounder with artificial or live bait. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, your experienced captain will do everything he can to make sure the trip is tailored just for you.
Captain Steve Hammack has fished the Texas Gulf Coast since 1996. He loves sharing his experience and knowledge with all kinds of anglers. He is just as adept with helping kids land their first catch as he is with running a tournament fishing trip.
Drift fishing from the boat is fun, but there's nothing like the experience of watching a topwater blowup up close and personal while you're in the water wading. Tejas Salt is a unique charter service because Captain Steve gives you the opportunity to do both based on your preference.
The JH Performance 240 is the perfect boat for Galveston fishing. This smooth-riding bay boat, outfitted with the latest electronics, has a quiet hull and low draft, so your captain can position you to fish or wade in all the best spots.

Galveston, Texas Flounder
Fished only for flounder Saturday. Found them laying up in shallow water at the mouth of bayous , drains and channels. The front this week should get them going even better. Its time to box Flounder before the 'Flounder Shutdown' Nov 1 - Dec 15.

Galveston Bay Black Drum
Less than favorable conditions , full moon , cold front hitting the coast and northeast winds 15-20. Managed a few trout and a bonus big ugly black drum on light tackle ! Now that we are getting to Fall fishing pattern , fishing will be very good between fronts . Everyrhing is turningn on with water temp dropping to the 70's. Book now for Oct-Nov Texas slam fishing!

Redfish and Flounder Time
The weather , wind direction and high barometric pressure have made trout fishing pretty slow . The good news is the temperature drop has kicked off Fall flounder migration and redfish run. Should be on that partern for the month of October and trout will start showing back up in between fronts . Great time of year !!

Galveston Bay Redfish
Above normal tide levels making for good fishing in the flooded marsh for redfish . The front and nottheast winds making conditions not as favorable for trout , but water temp now under 80 will turn fish on really good in usual spots as the winds lay and the cool front conditions settle down. October is going to be good !! Book now and get ready for great fall fishing !

Galveston Bay Fishing Report
Fishing for speckled trout and redfish continues to be good with redfish getting better every week! Flounder will start doing their thing as weather cools a little. This is a great time of year to book a trip as temps cool off and fish become more active than summer months.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 29, 2025
Had an awesome day with Captain Steve Hammack. Despite the poor weather we managed to pull in five keepers...plus “the one that got away”! Great time shared by all!
May 29, 2025
We booked the 6 hour fishing trip with Captain Steve. The communication leading up to the trip was great. He reached out to us via text messages shortly after signing up on the website. We spoke the night before going fishing to discuss conditions and our expectations. The morning of the trip we received a text message that he was at the dock waiting our arrival. Everything was as we expected. The weather conditions were great and the boat and fishing tackle were in great condition. Captain Steve knew where all the good fishing spots were in West Galveston Bay. His boat has a 250 HP outboard engine which got us to the fishing spots PDQ. We caught a good number of fish, but the big ones somehow eluded us. It was still a great trip and we’ll definitely call Captain Steve the next time we book a fishing trip to Galveston Bay.
May 29, 2025
Every spot we stopped he put us on fish. Great captain and awesome boat! Can’t wait until next time.
May 29, 2025
