Onboard the Flounder Expedition — a 24' Sea Hunt guided by Captain Big Fish Blake — you leave the Galveston shoreline for the shallow flats, estuaries, and marsh edges of Galveston Bay, Texas. This half- or full-day trip centers on big flounder along with saddle blankets and local UFO flatfish, and it’s set up for anglers ages 5 and up. Launching from Galveston, the trip blends purposeful fishing with easygoing coastal scenery: expansive tidal flats, bands of seagrass, oyster reefs and the brackish channels where wintering and schooling fish concentrate. Captain Big Fish Blake runs a compact, powerful boat designed for sighting and drifting over picky bottom fish. The 24' Sea Hunt gives stability for casting and space for families, while the captain’s local knowledge of tides and chop makes the difference between a slow morning and tight lines. All tackle and rods are provided; the company asks only that you bring a valid Texas fishing license, snacks and a cooler for your catch. Rates start at $700 for guided trips (options for 4- or 6-hour trips are available), and the pace is tuned to either tournament-minded anglers or first-timers wanting a hands-on lesson. What makes this trip special is its focus on targeted flounder techniques: light jigs, plastics bounced on clean sand, and quiet drift work through channels where these flatfish bury and ambush prey. The local environment—coastal sand flats, intertidal oyster banks, and the edge of the Gulf—creates predictable pockets where schools gather, especially on outgoing tides. You’ll also see coastal birds, crabs, and the slow geometry of the bay that defines Texas’s Gulf Coast. For visitors staying in Galveston, this charter offers an efficient way to sample Gulf fishing without committing to a long offshore run. It’s a solid family option: anglers as young as five are welcome, and the captain coaches anglers through rigging, playing fish, and filleting. The trip combines education with opportunity: learn local rig setups, how to read current lines and when to anchor flats. Safety and sustainability are part of the experience. Captain Blake practices catch limits and handling to protect juvenile fish and the bay’s forage base. Whether you’re after a day of calm-guided fishing, a chance to teach a child how to hook their first flounder, or simply want fresh Gulf fillets for dinner, this Galveston flounder expedition delivers a compact, local-flavored slice of Texas saltwater life. Bookings usually fill on weekends and around seasonal peaks, so reserve early — Captain Blake accommodates flexible start times for tide windows. Expect clear briefings, basic safety gear, and step-by-step help cleaning fish at trip’s end. If you want dinner-grade filets and a day on productive flats, this outing is hard to beat. Bring a saltwater cooler onboard.
