I grew up fishing the Texas coast my entire life. Just two trips with captain Shawn and they have been two of the most successful trips in all those years! 1st trip he put us on lots of trout, and my personal best 29" trout. 2nd trip he put a party of three on a limit of trout, 1 red shy of a limit, and more sheepshead and puppy drum than you could count. Professional, down to earth and great with kids. What else could you ask for! Thanks Cap't Shawn.

Captain Shawn gave us an absolutely awesome experience that our kids will never forget. We had a party of 6 including two younger children and he was beyond accommodating answering all of our questions and helping not just them out but the adults as well.
He was on time (early actually) for us to depart, very courteous and a fun Captain & guide to share this trip with. Bait got eaten? No problem. Line get snagged? He’d fix it. Stuck on a rock? He had us covered. Uncomfortable casting on your own? He helped out. As long as you listen to his advice you’ll be safe and have fun
We caught a dozen keepers during the trip with the kids snagging the biggest catches. Shawn’s crew filleted the catches for us when we got back to the dock. Upon asking he recommended a great restaurant that would cook the fish for us (look up The Waterman near Jamaica Beach) which did an amazing job preparing our catches.
The next time we’re in Galveston there isn’t a doubt in our minds about reaching back out for a return and possibly longer trip. Bring some water, slap on some sunscreen and use the bathroom before going down the dock to meet him.
General feedback about this (or any fishing trip in the Galveston area): get your fishing license and tags EARLY! We thankfully went to Academy Sports on Galveston Island the day before (per Shawn’s recommendation) and the process takes roughly 5-10 min per person. Be prepared to provide your SSN# for both adults and children!

Capt Shawn was great! Nice boat and equipment, had live bait,plenty of it, and everything was ready when we arrived. I fish a lot and in many places and can tell Shawn loves what he does and he was great at it. Very knowledgeable, hard working, kept very busy making sure everyone was baited up and lines in the water. Moved around several times when needed. Great with the kids. Did everything the right way and always checked up on everyone. Nonstop action of reds, sheepshead, trout, and pompano.
Highly recommend Shawn with Fish Commander, you will not regret it.

Have some words for this trip..we payed 850 for 5 people to go shark fishing. Up until the day before, the plan was to go with Shawn at 10:30, but received a text mid day the day before saying it’d be at 12:30. No problem, you know? Whatever, so we show up the next day at 12:30 and Shawn’s phones off. Sit there for 15 min before I receive a call from a number I hadn’t spoken to yet. It was Roy, his partner. Saying we’d be going with him because Shawn went on another trip. Okay? Odd. Already payed and booked a trip with Shawn but you know, okay. We spent 5 hours fishing 2 different spots out on the ocean and “caught” 2 sharks. Why that’s disappointing is because the trip we payed for said 20-30 sharks weighing from 80-300 pounds is an average day. Our biggest was maybe 15. Also, I say “caught” because I never really had full control of the rod even when realing it in, Roy held down on it. Doesn’t feel like I caught a fish. I get there are bad days out on the water, being fishing charters..they should acknowledge that fact and offer some money off the top like most charters do. They did acknowledge it was a bad day and explained it to us but still made us pay in full. Only 2 of us even touched a pole the entire time. 3 guys fell asleep on the boat, and like I said..I get there are bad days, but that should’ve been acknowledged and it’s a shame they made us pay in full knowing they practically scammed us of our money. Payed $850 for a nap on the water and a pound of meat. I recommend going elsewhere if you’re looking for honest people.

We had a fishing trip with Captain Shawn last weekend to go after some speckled trout. Captain Shawn guided myself, my daughter and her two college roommates and they were all on their first bay fishing trip, so needless to say Shawn had his hands full. We had an incredible time and caught some speckled trout, grouper and my daughter caught her first redfish. All they talked about at dinner that night was how much fun they had and how they want to go again this summer. I can definitely say we will do it again this summer and any other future trips will be with Captain Shawn and Galveston Fish Commander. He knows his stuff, is very patient and is extremely personable.
If you are looking for a great fishing trip I highly recommend Galveston Fish Commander and Captain Shawn.

If you’re looking for a fishing guide out of Galveston, Texas then look no further because Shawn is the best in the business! First class all the way around. We caught our limit of speckled trout and red fish. Shawn is very friendly and outgoing. He goes above and beyond to ensure your group has a great experience. Shawn has a great boat and keeps it clean and well maintained. Easy in and easy out. I’ve fished wit a lot of guides out of Galveston over the years and Shawn is hands down superior to all others in the area!

My family and I loved this fishing trip and the kids can not wait to go back! The captain was was knowledgeable and knew where to take us to catch the most fish! He was also very flexible allowing us to change our plans and answered all our questions ahead of time. He was very patient with the kids as well. Everyone had a great time!! Loved that they cleaned and bagged our fish at the end of the trip! Will definitely be going back!

Cap'n Sean knows his business. Boat, tackle and dock hands were all ship shape. My family group of four went on the 4 hour red drum/trout excursion. It was a terrific ride. Cap'n Sean's considerable experience and skill was evidenced throughout this trip as the fish just kept coming. Fair warning though: Do not make mention of Cap'n Sean's panty hose- he's a bit sensitive about that.
All kidding aside, for a fish filled foray in beautiful Galveston I highly recommend teaming up with the Fish Commander. Purchase a bonus red drum tag with your license- you're gonna need it!

We had a great experience. Captain Shawn and son, Buck are real pros and very personable. They put us on quality fish right away and took care of everything we needed. It was great fun. We caught several speckled trout and redfish fish in the 4-hour outing, and the three us all caught quality ones.

Captain Shawn did everything he could think of to make our day of fishing into a great family memory!
We had the unique vantage point of being able to compare two different charters since half of our family went out with another captain for the day. When we got back and compared notes, our Captain Shawn ended up the clear winner! Captain Shawn showed greater compassion, knowledge, patience, foresight and a pleasant demeaner. I was grateful that he had the foresight to look ahead at the weather and bring us fishing earlier in the day to avoid some heavier winds that can make fishing more difficult and uncomfortable. A fishing charter captain cannot force the fish to bite but somehow our boat ended up catching more and bigger fish than the other boat (and we had the younger kids in our boat). At times the fishing was slow but we made great memories!

Amazing guide service! Shawn is hands down the most knowledgeable and pleasurable guy on the water down here. I've fished him for 7 years and look forward to many more. 6 out of 5 stars for Capt Shawn!
