Summer Fishing Is Heating Up, and Cobia and Dorado Have Started to Bite

July and August are when the water really gets warm, and some of the best fish in Galveston get hungry. This includes some of the most popular fish that fishermen and women of all levels love to reel in—cobia (ling) and dorado (mahi mahi). These flavorful fish, along with all of the other amazing fish swimming in the waters of Galveston, Texas, in the summer, make booking a trip out on the water a must!

When it comes to spending a fun day out on the sparkling blue waters of Galveston, hooking the most fun fighters with fins, you’ll want to book your trip with Wave Dancer Charters. Our beautiful, spacious charter boats are manned by a captain and crew who are ready to bring your dreams of reeling in the perfect fish to life!

Cobia/Ling Fishing in Galveston, Texas

Cobia (also known as “ling”) is a fish that fights hard, leading to a tough and rewarding experience for those looking for a challenge. They aren’t just a sport fish, though. They are also delicious and can make for a great meal after a long day out on the water.

Make sure you take advantage of our “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!

Dorado/Mahi Mahi Fishing in Galveston, Texas

Dorado (also known as mahi mahi or dolphin fish) are fast swimmers that are found in warm waters. They strike quickly, have acrobatic fights, and are among the most delicious and beautiful fish in the ocean. They really are worth the trip in and of themselves!
