Kayak Fishing Guide Recommendations

[Rockachaw]

Gents,

Brand new to the website and fairly new to Galveston. Have fished the surf a couple of times in my kayak. Would like to go kayak fishing with a guide on the inland side of the island and start to learn some areas.

Could any of you please recommend a good kayak fishing guide?

Thanks for your help!

JP Chavez when he's in town. I know he has been in Florida recently... but might be back.

goog guy. castingtails charters i believe.

Other wise, a trip with Capt Steve Soule in his skiff is worth the trip, you'll learn tons with Steve (JP as well) but steves a fishing encyclopedia. theshallowist.com

Welcome to the site. You'll enjoy it here. One thing I might recommend is that you hire a guide that specializes in shallow flats fishing and tell them you are a kayak guy and need an introduction to the Galveston back country. You have the benefit of going in a boat which will let you cover more ground and you'll be who to communicate better in order to ask more questions.

I have been kayaking east and west bay for a number of years and I got started the same way. I recommend you call Capt Scott Null or Capt Steve Soule. Both spend a lot of time in the marsh and are good 'teaching' guides.

If you haven't found texaskayakfisherman.com, that's a good site too. Lots of advice for new kayakers. There are a lot of good reports in their archives that give insight in conditions and tactics.

Of course, your the choice is to pick an area and jump right in. When I first got my kayak, I spent about 6 months fishing Cold Pass and Titlum Tatlum bayou to learn how it fishes under different conditions. Experience is a good teacher.

Enjoy your kayak and welcome again.

Thanks for the information. Will contact one of those guys today to set something up real soon. I'll keep checking out the sight too and learning what I can.

Thanks for the recommendations and the welcome. Going to give Capt "Mud Minnow George" a try next weekend and will also hopefully spend a day in the boat with Steve Soule in November.
