The coast of Texas is made up of thousands of square miles of bays and waterways. It is divided into the Upper, Middle and Lower Gulf Coast. While all of this area is teaming with saltwater fish the Middle and Lower Coast are the best places for saltwater fishing. With a long line of barrier islands along the coast the water will be consistently calm.

The most commonly sought after fish in saltwater fishing are the trout, redfish, flounder, drum, and kingfish. The spotted seatrout is perhaps the popular sportfish along the whole Gulf of Mexico. While the black drum may not be completely accepted by many sport anglers it is perfect for the inexperienced fisherman. It can be caught by almost anyone, anytime, and with any equipment.

There are dozens of  Texas saltwater fishing guides along the coast of Texas, and within minutes you can be off on your own saltwater fishing expedition. Some will offer such guarantees as “You’ll catch a fish or your next trip is free.” This is a pretty good deal to take advantage of. If you catch a fish, you’ve gotten what you paid for. If not, you spent a great day out on the water and get to try again for free.

What’s included in a trip will vary by the saltwater fishing guide. Generally it will include saltwater fishing tackle , bait, rods & reels, wading belts, and your fish cleaned and bagged. This will vary depending on the types of saltwater fishing the company does. Ask the guides about a specialty. Many companies will specialize in a certain type of fish, it may be useful to know. Overall, Texas saltwater fishing is hard to beat with the great weather, great water, and constant supply of fish
