It’s Finally Time for Flounder Fishing in the Fall!

Fall is here, and what better time to be out on the water, soaking up some sun in Galveston, Texas? On top of the weather being beautiful this time of year, fall is also flounder season, and the perfect time to catch a variety of fantastic fish!

Fall Flounder Fishing

With the cooler temperatures comes the fall flounder run. These bottom-dwelling fish offer a unique fishing experience, as flounder lie flat on the bottom of the ocean and ambush their prey. As this is the case, anglers will often work bait or lures along the ocean bottom. Once the fight starts, though, it’s on! Expect a challenging but fun experience when it comes to catching delicious flounder.

Once we get back on land, we’ll prep those delicious flounder. Wave Dancer Charters offers a “Catch and Cook” experience, where we clean the fillets for you after you catch them, and you then take your fish to a nearby restaurant for them to prepare it for you! 

Along with flounder, other fish biting this time of year include:

  • Redfish/Bull Redfish
  • Trout
  • Black Drum
  • Sheepshead
  • Mackerel

Enjoy Everything Fall Has to Offer in Galveston

Spooky season is here, and Galveston has lots of fun activities to bring in the fall. Make sure to check out a haunted ghost tour or some of our other Ghostly Galveston activities. Fall is also a great time to check out Moody Gardens, visit our outstanding museums, and even take a stroll along the beach.

Between the outstanding fishing and the fun fall activities, you are sure to have a fantastic time during your trip to Galveston.
