Captain Mike Short, Captain Ron Woods and Melody Short have over 80 years of combined experience in the fishing charter and fishing guide business fishing the waters off of Galveston and Freeport Texas.

The boats you will be fishing from include a 24ft NauticStar Center Console Offshore Edition fully loaded with T-Top, Garmin Electronics and powered by a 225 4 stroke Yamaha Engine, a 21Ft Gulf Coast Center Console with Lowrance Electronics for bay trips and shallow water trips and for Deep Sea and overnight tuna trips, you will be aboard a ProKat Sport Catamaran with twin 225 4 stroke Yamahas with T-Top, advanced electronics, outriggers, premium stereo system with CD player and more to get you to those blue water offshore spots Quickly and Safely Everytime! Catamarans provide the smoothest and most enjoyable ride on the water.

We are a family-friendly fishing charter and guide business so we welcome families with children as well as anyone looking to charter a private boat to get the most out of your Gulf fishing experience. With more than one boat, we can also accommodate your family gatherings or corporate groups with ease. We offer half-day and full-day trips to accommodate your needs.

Get Hooked Fishing Charters offers some of the most exciting fishing on the Gulf Coast from the Bay, Jetty, Shark Hunting, Close Rig Offshore, Deep Sea Blue Water and even Overnight Tuna Trips all of which are sure to bring in a BIG Variety of fish!

Bay trips are great family trips with a short enjoyable 15 minute ride to the jetty and lots of fun filled fishing time where the catch is usually Redfish, Trout, Drum, Whiting, Jacks, Mackerel and Sharks.

Shark Trips are packed with adrenaline and are sure to please as you reel in that big catch! We will follow dragging shrimp boats and fish chum lines or anchor up in one of our special "shark spots" depending on the water and weather conditions. While on a shark trip you can also expect other species of fish such as possible large Tarpon, Redfish and many others. The expected catch will be shark species such as Black Tip, Sharp Nose, Bonnett Head, Bull Sharks, Spinner Sharks and many others.

Close Rig trips are up to 9 miles offshore where you will tie up to the rigs or drift fish to catch AngelFish, Ling, King Mackerels, Sharks, Triggers, and many others. If the conditions are right, you will enjoy clean clearer waters where you will be able to see the fish as they gather around the boat and see your catch as you get it close to the surface making for even more excitement. This trip is great for people who want to enjoy some of the larger offshore fishing species without having to ride hours to get there.

Trophy Bull Red Season runs September through November and is a very action packed catch as you reel in these big fish that are pure muscle and put up a fight that will have you begging for mercy!! These fish can get as large as 50 inches in length with the average catch being about 35 inches in length.

**Now offering night Trout, Flounder and Redfish trips fishing under high powered stage and stadium lights starting at only $400.00 for 1-3 people**
