Galveston Bay Texas is known as one of the best fisheries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The center point which is 29°34' north latitude and 94°56' west longitude, is part of Galveston, Harris and Chambers counties. Galveston Bay is the largest estuary on the Texas coast and the seventh largest in the United States. It extends thirty miles south to north and seventeen miles east to west. The average depth. of the Galveston Bay Complex is seven to nine feet deep. It has mostly a mud bottom with live shell reefs and about 600 square miles of surface. Fresh water from the Trinity and the San Jacinto rivers mixes with the tidal salt water from the Gulf of Mexico through the Houston Ship Channel between Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula Galveston Bay has been declared an estuary of national significance by the Environmental Protection Agency National Estuary Program and the area surrounding the bay system is bordered by coastal plains and marshes. The Christmas Bay Coastal Preserve, a shallow embayment located in its southwestern portion, is a unique high quality subsystem of estuary that has not yet been greatly altered by human activity. The preserve is one of the most ecologically productive bays of the Galveston Bay Complex. Important natural resources in all of the Galveston bays include finfish, shrimp and blue crab. It is also estimated that seventy-five percent of the bird species in North America spend some time around the Galveston Bay Complex.
Red drum and speckled trout are the premier recreational game species of the bay. Regulations passed to protect speckled trout included no commercial sale since 1981, implementation of minimum and maximum sizes and a daily bag limits for recreational fishermen since 1982. Red fish and recently flounder have also had some regulation changes over the past 10 years. These species showed increases in first-time spawners and adults after these regulations were implemented, despite several adverse natural events, including a freeze in 1983, a red tide in 1986, and two freezes in 1989. On September 13th, 2008 Hurricane Ike made landfall directly over Galveston Island and caused massive damage to Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula. Galveston Island has since rebuilt and the bays once filled with debris from Ike has since been cleaned and fishing in all of the Galveston Bay Complex is still outstanding. Near limits of healthy speckled trout and red fish are being caught on most fishing trips. The Galveston Bay Complex is still considered by most saltwater anglers as one of the very best places to go fishing up and down the Texas and Gulf Coast.
Most Galveston Fishing Charters target speckled trout, redfish and flounder. Discounted and kid trips target sand trout, gulf trout, golden croaker, gulf whiting, sheep head, black drum and BIG bull reds. Discounted, children and shark trips are seasonal. Families with children are always welcome. Spring Break trips during March and April are a lot of fun for the kids or for anglers that enjoy non stop action. The Captains can fish shell reefs that are a little closer to the shore or the north or south jetty where the kids can catch a wide variety of saltwater species.
