Whether you’re a first-time gigger or a seasoned angler, our trips are designed to make your evening productive, comfortable, and fun.

The Flounder Gigging Experience

Flounder gigging is a unique way to fish, using high-powered LED lights to illuminate shallow waters and spot fish resting on the sandy bottom. As the boat glides quietly across Galveston Bay, you’ll search for Flounder, Sheepshead, and Drum in their natural habitat. Guided by Captain Mike Aguirre’s nine years of local experience, you’ll learn how to identify and target fish while enjoying the peaceful nighttime scenery.

Best Times for Flounder Gigging in Galveston

The best time for flounder gigging is during the fall flounder run, typically from late October through early December, when fish migrate in larger numbers. However, our guided flounder gigging trips in Galveston are productive year-round, with calm evenings, moving tides, and mild weather offering excellent opportunities to fill the cooler.
