Hmmmmmm There is a LONG list of good guides for west bay

Capt Dustin Lee, Capt Clint Sholmire, Capt Bubba Ray, Capt John Havens just to name a few.. What we need to know, is what kind of fishing do you do mainly.. Bait, artificial , surf etc etc.

Most of the captains i named above have various things they know well... Clint and Bubba for example are redfish masters... Havens is a BIG TROUT GURU and Dustin is an all around family fishing guy... So you have to ask yourself what you want to learn>???

Post up and we will give you prime examples of who to talk too

Trout and redfish...I like to use artificials...I'm accustomed to going down to my buddies place and just let them tell me what to use but I guess it's time for me to learn since i have my own boat now

Do these guides give discounts for using your own boat?

thanks

Yes, some of the guides will show you around using your boat.. Some will not, but generally if a guide is going to use your boat he will charge you half the price of a normal day trip for him... So if the trip is $500, usually $250 will work.

Clint sholmire is on 2cool, as well as Dustin Lee, as well as john havens ....There are many good guides for west galveston
