Deep sea fishing

[fordracing19]

Looking at going in August to Galveston or Port Aransas. I have never been before but want to take my 11yo son and some friends. Suggestions?

Wheres the thread with all those pics of fish caught on that chartered trip at?!

My suggestion would be to pre-plan the trip and charter a boat. Nothing like a party-boat to where someone hooks one and runs down the side past everyone else's lines

This, we did a big boat trip at my wife's family reunion in Port Aransas and it wasn't really very fun.

My normal reply would be to charter a boat during the day, and hit the Houston strip clubs at night. Instead, you should look into the season limits for August since your son is going with you.

I cannot recommend Marty's Guide Service/Fish of a Lifetime highly enough. They're out of Port O'Connor, and they beyond rock. They put us on fish immediately, and we were catching fish all day. We limited out on 3 species of fish in a 4 hour trip, then we fished catch and release fish and gaff tops. Bay fishing is a blast, and can be a little more stimulating for 11 year olds.

EDIT: Don't forget your dramamine, whatever you do.

The last time I took a charter, it was out of Freeport

I've taken this day trip many times and it's hands down the best for the price with the best fishing. King, Shark, Snapper and Mahi. They supply squid but go buy a couple lbs of cigar minnows and you're set.
