Offshore & Bay

October 20th, 2008

I started running again full time. The bull reds are doing there thing right now, should be going on through December. The flounder are running, and should continue till about a week or so after Thanksgiving weekend. I can also do flounder gigging trips at night (these will be wading, and they will need to supply their lights, I do have an extra set). The big golden croaker are running also, this is a good trip for the kids. All these trips, plus trout are being done in my Carolina Skiff. The Boston Whaler will be running again, starting in the spring (still waitng for a marina to leave her at). Most of the guides that are able to run are doing so, and doing well. Don't let the best time of the year pass without booking. So, find a guide you like, and stop looking and start booking. Thanks everyone.. Capt. Mike Hillman

Captain Mike just wants to let everybody know that the fishing is great and that he is now booking fall and winter trips.

Note

I recieved minimal damage to my house and property. Both boats are ok. I will be looking for boat ramps this weekend to launch my big boat. I will be running shuttles to Bolivar (to look only). My computers are down and home phone is down. If you need to get in touch with me call my cell, (be sure to leave a callback number) my cell phone is spotty, and messages break up real bad. Thanks everyone.. hope to see you on the water soon. Capt. Mike Hillman cell#. 713-816-2073.

Capt. Mike Hillman, USCG licensed, has fished the entire Texas Coast for the past 30 years. He has lived on the coast his entire life, mainly fishing from Galveston to the mouth of the Brazos River.  I welcome anyone on board for fishing or sight seeing!!!

I fish for redfish, black drum, snapper, flounder, tuna, tarpon, kingfish, and even sharks! Did I mentions SHARKS!!!! Whatever you would like to fish for, we can go find it in the Bay or Offshore.

The only thing you need to show up with is light clothing, some extra clothes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a cooler for your drinks and snack food. Bring an extra cooler to take your fish home in. Oh, and by the way, don't forget about motion sickness possibilities!!!!
