Could someone give me some recomendations on a charter or guide to use out of galveston? There will be 4 of us and we are just looking at doing some oil rig fishing. I've done the big party boats but I would like to do a regual trip. Thanks for any input. Also is this a good time of year to go out?

Really No one know of any good charters. What about Freeport Area?

Cowboy charters out of freeport has had great reviews from fishermen here. Shoot "liteliner" a PM and he can show you some video.

Agree with chuck. I have been out with Cowboy Charters a few times. Capt Mike is very good and works hard to put you on fish. Always a fun trip with those guys. Also Reelthreel charters is good if Cowboy is booked. Reelthreel also has a lodge that you can rent and its right on the IC canal.

Thanks

Try Aqua Safari out of Galveston. I've seen them uload some good fish. I think the boat was called the Island Girl.

If you want to catch big fish I'd suggest Capt Keepers. I went out with my with my Dad in March (slow season) fishing for bull reds. We each caught a big red and a big black drum. My red was 40" with my Dad's 39". It was very slow fishing that time of year, but Capt Bob has a fantastic personality. (It was very windy and we were getting a cold front during that trip) We were supposed to go out 2 days earlier, but the winds were 25-35 mph and it was COLD. Capt Bob told us he would go out if we really wanted but preferred to take us another time. Luckily he had a client cancel for later that week. Our gain!
