Galveston Fall Fishing

Galveston Island attracts thousands of visitors each and every year! One of the most common visitors are well-known as recreational fishermen, fisherwomen, and fisherkids! Galveston fall fishing is popular as it brings great catches and cool weather! Galveston Island is situated on the Southern coast of the Gulf of Mexico which is home to an extensive amount of fish. With local fishing supply stores, pole and boat rentals, bait shops and piers, Galveston Island has everything you need for a great Galveston fishing adventure, for beginners and expert fishers. Academy Sports and Outdoors have temporary and long-term fishing licenses which are required by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Down in Galveston, almost everything is local – the bait shops even catch their bait straight from the gulf!

Along the beaches in Galveston, you’ll see two amazing public piers – the 61st Street Pier, and Jimmy’s on the Pier located on 91st Street. Galveston Island is also home to Seawolf Park on Pelican Island off of 51st Street and Broadway. While you fish at Seawolf Park, you can view the amazing ships and barges coming in and out of port. (Here’s a fishing secret – ships and barges create temporary cuts which is where I caught my 39 inch red drum!) You can also fish off the extended jetties that line the gulf along the Seawall. There are also deep-sea fishing charters on Galveston Island that will provide all the equipment you need for that exhilarating and memorable deep-sea fishing experience!
