Jetty Fishing Charter from Galveston: Reel in Gulf fish

Cast lines off the jetties and haul in what's biting in the Gulf

A full-day jetty fishing charter from Galveston puts you on the water casting for whatever species are in season along the north and south jetties, which extend 5 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. The boat, guide, all fishing gear and bait are provided. You bring a valid fishing license. Fish cleaning is included at the end of the day.

The experience

The jetties stretch 5 miles out into the Gulf, and that's where the fish are. You'll spend the day casting and reeling for whatever is biting in the season: no single species is targeted, so the guide adjusts the bait and tackle to match what's active that day. The boat handles all the logistics. You focus on the fishing. A live English-speaking guide works the water with you, reading conditions and moving to productive spots as the day unfolds.

Everything needed to fish is on board: rods, reels, bait matched to the season, and tackle. When you've landed your catch, the crew cleans the fish before you head back. The charter runs about 6.5 hours, long enough to work multiple tides and locations along the jetties. You'll need a valid Texas fishing license to fish. Bring it with you or arrange one before departure.
