Perhaps you’ve confined your fishing to close offshore trips. Who could blame you? Fishing inshore has provided you with all the thrills and entertainment you can ask for, so there’s no need to look elsewhere.

But maybe you’re longing for a bit more adventure happening anywhere from 15 to 80 miles from shore. If so, we can accommodate you with one of our 6-hour, 8-hour, 10-hour, or 12-hour deep sea fishing experiences. You’ll be reeling in delicious reef fish and various pelagic species when you venture that far out. Who knows? You might even return to shore with a trophy fish. If not, you’ll still come back with memories to last a lifetime.

Try our State Water Offshore Trip for starters

The state water offshore trip is 4 to 6 hours of Big Bull Redfish action, along with Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Sharks and other species. It’s no wonder this is one of our more popular trips this time of year and in the spring. 

Land King Mackerel on our Kingfish Trip 

Our 6-hour Kingfish Trip heads 15 to 30 miles out, allowing you to land King Mackerel, some of the most challenging fish in the Gulf of Mexico. These big bad boys have a well-earned reputation for being fast and mean, so get ready for a workout. You’ll also have a chance to catch Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and Cobia.

There’s plenty of entertainment on our Shark Hunt Trip

Another action-packed 6-hour trip is our Shark Hunt Trip. Also, 30 miles out, this adventure targets only the big sharks. And we’ll find them around reefs, underwater wrecks, and oil platforms. If this doesn’t raise your blood pressure and give you a shot of adrenaline, you might be beyond help! Seriously, there is a reason they call sharks the beasts of the ocean, and you’ll find out why on this trip.

Stay out 8 hours on the Deep Sea Fishing Galveston Trip

Our next Deep Sea Fishing Galveston Trip is in the 20 to 40-mile range. During these eight hours you’ll spend there, we will fish in different patterns and styles depending on the time of year. Some days we’ll fish on top, and others, we’ll troll. We might use live bait fish or pull lures. And we may fish near underwater wrecks, reefs, hills, valleys, or rocks. No matter our method, you will catch fish such as King Mackerel, Red Snapper, Angelfish, Mahi Mahi, and Sharks, to name a few.

Go longer and farther for Red Snapper (During open season only)

The Galveston deep sea fishing Red Snapper trip is usually available during June and July, featuring a 10-hour trip between 30 and 50 miles. Our boat bottom drops for Red Snapper and will keep a limit of 15 to 30 lbs. each. We then catch Mahi Mahi, Ling, King Mackerel, Grouper, and Barracuda. We return after the ten-hour fishing excursion to clean and bag your catch.

The ultimate Deep Sea Fishing Texas experience

Are you ready to catch King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Ling, Tuna, Wahoo, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Sharks, Grouper, Barracuda, Sailfish, and more? Then join us on our best Deep Sea Fishing Texas adventure up to 80 miles offshore and 12 hours in duration.

Depending on the species we’re targeting, we could fish several different ways with various types of bait, including fresh and live. We also jig with lures and pull lures while trolling. We fish structures such as oil and gas platforms, shrimp boats, grass lines, reefs, wrecks, rocks, hills, and valleys. The only sure thing is you will have the time of your life!
