The spring bite brings some of the best action of the year on Galveston Bay. As the water warms and the baitfish start moving, Redfish become aggressive and hungry. These slot fish, running 20 to 28 inches, are strong, fast, and great on the table — it’s no wonder this season is a local favorite.
Spots to Dots Guide Service, run by Captain Michael Bullock, offers guided inshore trips for anglers of any experience level. With decades on these waters, he knows every flat, channel, and oyster reef where the fish like to feed. His trips are easygoing, professional, and focused on putting people on fish while showing them what makes Galveston Bay special.
Spring conditions are ideal for Redfish. The shrimp and baitfish return to the marshes, the tides stay steady, and the fish push shallow to feed. You can expect plenty of bites and steady action from start to finish.
When the bite is on, Captain Bullock works the right structure and current lines to keep rods bending.
- Drifting oyster reefs for cruising fish
- Casting along grassy shorelines
- Working marsh edges during the tide change
- 4-hour morning trips for early action
- 4-hour afternoon runs for calm water and lighter crowds
- 6-hour and 8-hour days for anglers who want to cover more ground
While Redfish are the main target, plenty of Speckled Trout and Flounder make their way into the box too.
Trips run on a 21′ Kenner bay boat built for performance and comfort. It’s powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine and outfitted with modern navigation, safety gear, and a live bait tank. The boat handles up to four guests comfortably — perfect for small groups and families.
If you’re looking for a spring trip where the fish are active and the weather’s just right, Captain Michael Bullock and Spots to Dots Guide Service will make sure you have a solid day on the water.
