Meet Captain Mike Aguirre

Galveston Flounder Gigging at Night

Captain Mike Aguirre’s passion for fishing started at an early age, spending countless evenings on the Texas coast learning how to read the tides, follow fish movements, and master the art of inshore fishing. Growing up near Galveston Bay gave him a deep connection to the water and an understanding of the local ecosystem that only comes from years of hands-on experience. His approachable personality and genuine love for sharing the sport make him both relatable and trustworthy—guests instantly feel like they’re fishing with an old friend rather than just a hired guide.


With over nine years as a Galveston fishing guide, Captain Mike has built a reputation for delivering safe, productive, and fun trips for anglers of all ages. He holds the necessary licenses and safety certifications to ensure every outing meets the highest professional standards. Known for his ability to put clients on fish consistently—whether it’s targeting Flounder, Sheepshead, or Drum—he’s earned his place among the top-rated family-friendly fishing charters in Galveston. Safety is always a priority, from well-maintained equipment to thorough trip planning, giving guests peace of mind while they focus on the action.


Beyond guiding, Captain Mike is active in the local fishing community, sharing reports, teaching new anglers, and promoting sustainable fishing practices to help preserve Galveston’s rich waters for generations to come. He supports local conservation efforts and often volunteers at community events, introducing kids to fishing and showing them the value of respecting the water. His dedication to the sport and community involvement set him apart as more than just another charter captain—he’s a steward of the fishery and a mentor to future anglers.


When you step aboard Captain Mike’s custom 20’ Boatright, you’re stepping onto a vessel built for inshore performance and comfort. Powered by a reliable Suzuki 150 engine, it’s outfitted with bright LED lighting for night gigging, GPS navigation, ample deck space for up to six guests, and an ice chest to keep your drinks and snacks cold. Designed for stability and maneuverability in the shallows, it’s the perfect platform for productive Galveston Bay fishing trips. Every detail of the boat and equipment reflects Captain Mike’s commitment to making sure his guests have a comfortable, safe, and unforgettable time on the water.
