Awesome trip out with Captain Bubba! We had three adults and 2 boys (5&6), had a little sea sickness and water was a bit rough where we were so he took us to where the water was calmer since he had little ones aboard. If you want a trip out that is tailored to fit you, experienced captains, and a great experience overall book with Salty Rods! Captain Bubba and Cheryl thanks again for taking the time after the trip to let the boys fish off the boat and dock-they can’t stop talking about it. We will see you the next time we make it down this way!

We had the best time on our fishing charter! We had to cut the trip short due to one of our friends getting motion sick, but instead of going in and calling it quits, they suggested we go closer to shore where there are less waves and go for smaller fish. I am so glad we did that instead of calling it! The one that was sick ended up having a great time and catching the most fish! We might not have caught any keepers this trip, but we caught fish and had an great time and that’s what we were there for! I would highly recommend this charter and would definitely do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks again!

Our fishing excursion was awesome! The crew made sure we were safe & ready to depart on time. Before we knew it we were out of the bay, lines were dropped & sharks were on the hook in minutes! My boys had a blast! Despite their motion sickness they still enjoyed reeling in their sharks & learning how to fillet them when we returned was so educational for them. All around 5 stars! We will definitely be back & will be using Salty Rods!

Visiting Galveston to go on a cruise and had an extra day.  The team called and warned of worsening weather that day and asked us if we could arrive early, which worked well for our schedule.

Once on the boat, captain Bubba said the bay and jetty are poor fishing this time of year and took us out to deeper water (about 25’).

We caught 5 black drum between 35 and about 55 lbs.  We did catch and release.

It was a great experience and Captain Bubba and deckhand Jason were great.  They chatted as we fished and made some recommendations for the rest of our trip. 

The weather was perfect, and I was in short sleeves in early February while fishing.  Our crew recommended the shark hunt during warmer months.

Overall an excellent experience for my wife and I.

Captain picked a good spot where we could do a mix of large rod and light tackle, but it was hard to do both at the same time with the amount of fish we were catching! The large rods were getting hooked up non stop! We caught at least 5 bull reds and 5 large black drum each, maybe more, we lost count, a few sheepshead, some pup drums, and one shark! Experience did not disappoint and we will be back.
