Getting Ready for Your Day with Frenzy Guide Service: Straight Talk from Captain Chris

March 23, 2024 | 3 min read

Heading out with Frenzy Guide Service for a day of fishing in Galveston? Here’s the lowdown from Captain Chris to make sure you’re set for a good time on the water.

Eye on the Sky

Galveston’s weather likes to keep us on our toes. Give the forecast a glance before you come down, and dress in layers if it is a cool morning. We will keep an eye on the safety of the weather like storms or wind, but we need you to keep an eye for hot and cold. Sometimes, a rain jacket isn’t a bad idea, just in case Mother Nature decides to join the party. Be sure to ask what types of gear you should bring.

Wear the Right Gear

You’ll want to be comfortable, so go for breathable clothes that let you move and that keep you at the right temperature. Shoes with a good grip are key—no one’s dancing with the fish today. And yes, the sun’s glare off the water is a thing, so bring your sunglasses, a hat, and slap on some sunscreen.

We’ve got the gear and safety stuff covered, but here’s your checklist:

  • Texas fishing license (if you’re over 17)
  • Snacks and drinks (keep the booze for the celebration later)
  • Camera or phone – you’ll want to remember this
  • Seasickness meds, just in case the waves get cheeky

Follow the Captain

Captain Chris has spent heaps of time on the water. He’s got tips and tricks that can make your day. Most of the time, Captain Chris has seen the situation before and can give good guidance on how to put fish in the boat.

Follow Local Laws

We love the bay, and we bet you do too. That means keeping it clean, following the local fishing rules. We are all about Fish Tacos made with Sheepshead at Frenzy Guide Service. Knowing which fish to catch and release is part of the day. It’s simple—take care of the water, and it takes care of us.

Enjoy Yourself

This is what it’s all about. Whether you’re here to break records or just break away from the everyday, make it count. Every trip out on the water is a chance to try something new and maybe even land that fish that’ll make your friends jealous.
