Don’t expect to catch lots of fish, regardless of anyplace you go. But go with the mind set, of just being happy you got the chance to get out and fish!!!

The largest Guide service is not always the best.
July weather is unpredictable be patient and let the Captain take you to the action.

Talk to the locals before you buy any equipment, you don't need as much as you think. Bring enough water.

Check on the weather , if you like it hot go for it. It is muggy here in July for sure. We had a good fun experience fishing.

The summer months are better weather, but we had good conditions in May. Plus we used live shrimp under a cork. which made the fishing easy for us.

May fishing was great. We only did the 4 hr trip but caught fish right away. Weather was perfect. Warm but not hot, nice breeze. We would definitely do this again!!

Find a service that has an experienced captain or crew. Ask questions about your outing. Do some research before booking. Summer months are really the best time to go in Galveston.

Look at all reviews and let crew know what your expectations are for trip to see if they would fit your thoughts and expectations for what your looking for.

Wear sun screen and a hat. The reflection off of the water will burn you just as easy as the sunlight will. Relax and enjoy the trip and let your guide do their job in finding the fish.

Be prepared for cool conditions. We were a little cold because we didn't prepare well. Bring layers, and you will be fine.

Fish during the good season. Fishing in March can be difficult. The season in March can be good and can be bad, just depends on several things.

Spring months offer different fish than in the summer months. Talk to your guide to see what fish you’ll target before you book.

March in Galveston can be tricky weather wise so plan accordingly. It can be shorts weather one day, coats and gloves the next.

Yes, but with fluctuating temperatures from the 40's,50's and 60's the fish move around quite a bit. It helps to know those patterns.

Trust the guides! Our guide, Cody Phillips grew up in the area and has spent his life fishing these waters.

Book with Dream Catcher Charters, you can not go wrong with this charter company.

Try hitting summer fishing, as the fish will be more active! But anytime is a good time.

December isn’t prime time but our side of coming in the wrong season we have zero complaints
Matt Doro
The weather can change by the day, watch the weather forecast and bring appropriate clothes.
Nathan Debbie White
Dramamine for first time Boaters/Anglers beginning the day before the trip is a must!
Sheila Byrd
This was our first time, and we all caught a fish, but he said they usually are biting better
Robert Dilling
Weather can be hit or miss same with the fish. The red fish do seem to be running in October.
Frank Bruyette
Do it! Your Captain will provide you with their knowledge and expertise, an amazing adventure!

Just remember, they are fish and sometimes you don’t always get what you are after.
