Thanks for the information Ben. I will be looking for you on the boat. My Dad and I have been customers for about 20 years. My Dad about 25 years.

Hey Ben!

Thanks for responding AND for participating in this site! Though my Pop started me offshore fishing in Port A -on the ScatCat and WharfCat- I have enjoyed every trip that I've done on the Texsun II!

Caught my first blackfin tuna with the help of Shane? second captain who's also a comm. fisher on the side, late at night and on a chunk that had been out for about 90 minutes! LOL

Glad to have you here!

Big EZ, just use the biggest bait you can rig up! You won't get as many strikes or hook ups because of its size, but when you do hook up, there will be no question as to what you'll be fighting!

Tom, I will be sure and post the results of our fishing trip. We are going to hit the Galveston Fishing Pier Thursday evening and all day Friday. Then get on the boat Saturday. I've caught quit a bit of Bull Reds off of this pier. I haven't ever been in April though!

Thanks for all of the information from all ofa yall!!!

some friends and I got on a sheepshead bite one evening on the Galv pier.. we found them stacked on one pier under the middle building where the stairs are at... Its been so long, I dont even know if the pier is that long anymore. frsh-live shrimp with a small sinker on the bottom. you had to be lightening fast on the hookset though or they got your bait. We had a blast. salt fishing is SOOOOOOOOOO much more fun than freshwater.. I hope you guys tear em up inshore and offshore!! Good Luck!

I believe the Galveston Fishing Pier is about 1/4 mile long and has a 300 foot "T" head. I usually set up at the middle building below the stairs and cast back to the east. My sense of direction may be screwed up. I take finger mullet and cut the tail off at about the gutt sack and hook it in the mouth and send it out. Seems to be a very successful way to catch the Bull reds. Works for me anyways! I really enjoy the fight! Freshwater fishing is great here in Oklahoma. But saltwater fishing is better because of the fight and you never know what you have on the other end! In about 100 years, when I can retire, I would like to get closer to the saltwater!
