What We Are Fishing For During Bay Fishing Adventures

Inshore fishing can involve a variety of techniques, including light tackle, fly fishing, and bait casting. Anglers can use live bait such as shrimp or mullet, or artificial lures designed to mimic the natural prey of the target species.

  • Redfish (Red Drum): One of the most popular targets for inshore anglers, redfish are known for their hard-fighting nature and delicious taste. They are often found in shallow waters, around grassy flats, and near oyster beds.
  • Speckled Trout (Spotted Seatrout): Speckled trout are abundant in Galveston’s inshore waters, especially in the warmer months. These fish are prized for their fight and are commonly found near drop-offs and around underwater structures.
  • Flounder: Known for their unique, flat bodies and excellent camouflage, flounder are typically found on sandy or muddy bottoms. They are a favorite among anglers for their challenging catch and delectable meat.
  • Sheepshead: Easily recognizable by their black and white vertical stripes, sheepshead are often found around piers, rocks, and jetties. These fish are not only fun to catch but also make for great eating.
  • Black Drum: These fish are similar to redfish but can grow much larger. Black drum are commonly found in the same areas as their red counterparts and are known for their strong fight.
  • Other Species: Depending on the season and water conditions,  you may also encounter Spanish mackerels, crevalle jack, a variety of shark species, and Bull Reds as well as Big Uglies (over slot black drum).

Where Do Our Bay Fishing Adventures Go?

Inshore fishing refers to angling in the relatively shallow waters close to the shore, typically within a few miles of the coastline. Unlike offshore fishing, which involves deep-sea expeditions, inshore fishing takes place in bays, estuaries, and nearshore waters where the depth rarely exceeds 30 meters. This type of fishing is ideal for all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros, offering a more accessible and less daunting experience compared to deep-sea fishing.

The coastal waters of Galveston are teeming with a variety of fish species, thanks to the rich marine ecosystems found in its bays and estuaries. These waters are known for their calm conditions, making them perfect for a relaxed fishing adventure that doesn’t require long travel times or battling rough seas.
