Galveston Deep Sea Fishing and Galveston Offshore Fishing and galveston Bay Fishing Guides

** NEW LAW ** While fishing in Texas State or federal waters you will now need a texas saltwater fishing license if you are bringing or unloading fish at a texas dock or pier , passed Sept.1, 2007 By TPW and GCC.

When getting the fishing license make sure you get your redfish(red drum) tag attached to the license alot of people are showing up at dock without them - Texas saltwater fishing license, since you are in the water we might as well stop comming in..

They do have a 1 day license that is 11.00 for resident and 16.00 for Non-Resident and you have the option to add additional days.

Children do not need a Texas Fishing license but, will need a saltwater redfish tag in order to keep a bullred. I believe these are around 3.00 or 4.00 ? it's not much
