CAPTAIN THOMAS BARLOW

Capt. Thomas Barlow grew up fishing the open waters and back lakes of Galveston’s West Bay. In his 35 years of fishing the Texas Coast, he’s learned a tremendous amount about all our native fish species, and has become quite skilled at catching the “big three”.

 

Capt. Thomas guides mainly out of the Galveston Bay Complex, but occasionally ventures to some of the other bay systems along Texas’ sprawling coastline and southern Louisiana.

 

Galveston Bay is a tremendous fishery that offers wade fishing, drift fishing, sight-casting as well as many other techniques for a multitude of species. If you want it, Galveston Bay’s got it!

 

Most trips consist of targeting trout or redfish, depending on your preferences and time of year. On many trips, we can catch all three of our main targets species, along with other surprises like cobia, black drum and sheepshead.

 

Capt. Thomas fishes out of 3 different boats (click here for more information on Thomas' boats). The main boat is a 24ft Haynie HO powered by a 250 HP Mercury outboard. This is a large, shallow-running boat with tons of room and is a great platform to fish from. This boat is designed for comfort with fishing in mind. From the bucket seats, extra large livewells, rod storage lockers and plenty of dry storage space - this boat has it all.

 

Capt. Thomas also does custom flats trips out of an East Cape Poling skiff and sometimes out of his 21 Haynie Cat Tournament Tower Boat.
