Galveston - Fishing

The island is naturally not a place for reservoirs and lakes, but you can fish off the piers and often for free. Surf fishing is also a popular activity, which is unsurprising, as you can catch all kinds of fish without ever taking to a boat. These coastal fish species include the Sheepshead, Bull Red, Gafftop Sail, Flounder and Speckled Trout. If you charter a boat and fish that way, your species list expands - fish for Grouper, Kingfish, Amber Jack, Tuna or even a Tiger Shark.
