Our volunteer boat owners are paying their way and are not professionals – nor are they licensed guides. No tips are allowed\, but gas in the tank and your share of other expenses is expected. Please bring cash to assist with boat gas\, ice\, and bait. Each volunteer boat owner will be assigned a fishing party each day. While we keep fathers and sons together\, usually you will be fishing with people you don’t know. This is done purposefully so please don’t be surprised. Additionally\, we will try to pair volunteer boat owners with parties suitable to their preferred method of fishing\, but please remember to be flexible as this won’t always be possible. \nVolunteer boat owners will be introduced to their parties in our meetings. Please see your volunteer boat owner for assistance and/or special needs with regard to fishing. Adults should be prepared to wade if physically able. Bring wading shoes and any other gear that you have. If you have extra gear that others could borrow\, please throw it in. \nMeals:  \nDinner will be provided for both Friday and Saturday night meals. On Saturday and Sunday mornings we will serve breakfast. A limited supply of drinks and snacks will be available to take on the fishing trips but plan to bring your favorite soft drinks. Leftovers will be available for lunches\, but most parties will eat out based on their fishing location and schedule. \nFreebies: We will give out door prizes on Saturday night.

Gulp shrimp tails fished under a popping cork can also be effective and kid-friendly.\n\nThere is a store in Matagorda with tackle.

SUMMARY:Galveston\, TX | 1-Day Offshore Fishing Event
DESCRIPTION:“While walking by the Sea of Galilee\, he saw two brother\, Simon and Andrew his brother\, casting a net into the sea\, for they were fishermen.  And he said to them\, “Follow me\, and I will make you fishers of men.”  Immediately they left their nets and followed him.” Matthew4:18-20 \nPurpose: \nTo point outdoorsmen to the cross by building relationships and enjoying a budget friendly blue-water fishing trip that is suitable for all ages. \nDate:  Tuesday\, July 29\, 2025 \nGuest Speaker:  Johnny Roubion \nRegistration: Children ages 7 and up are welcome to join us.  Wives and daughters are welcome to join us.  We have 20 spots booked on the boat for this event\, first paid first reserved.  If you need to cancel\, we won’t be able to issue a refund unless we have another angler ready to take your place.  If the charter boat cancels\, we will refund all participants in full. \nCost:  Adult participants (ages 13 and up) $140\, youth participants (ages 7-12) $90 \nActivities:  Spend a day of fishing and relationship building on the beautiful deep blue water of the gulf with Blast & Cast Men’s Ministries and Galveston Party Boats targeting red and vermilion snapper.  Other species may be captured depending on season and legal size limits\, but red and vermillion snapper will be the main target fish.  Plan to arrive by 6:00am and gather in the parking lot for a short devotion and prayer time.  The boat will return to Galveston at approximately 7:30pm. \nHow to find us at the dock:  Galveston Party Boats is located at Pier 19. \nThe address is:  1700 Harborside Dr\, Galveston\, TX  77550 \nFrom Houston\, travel South on Interstate 45 (Gulf Freeway) to Galveston.

The cost for parking is $16 per day and credit/debit card payments are accepted at the parking lot kiosk. Parking is enforced. \nPlan to arrive at or before 6:00am and gather in the parking lot for a short devotion and prayer time.  Look for the Blast & Cast Men’s Ministries flags marking our gathering location.  We will share a short time of devotion and go over rules and expectations for the day and answer any last minute questions.  Discussion guides will be distributed to aid in pointed conversations during the morning and evening boat runs which are estimated at four hours each way.  The boat will return to Galveston at approximately 7:30pm. \nMeals:  Food and drinks can be purchased on the boat.  We recommend cash payments for galley purchases.  Small softside coolers with food and water or soft drinks are allowed onboard as well.  The boat does not allow anglers to bring alcohol onboard. \nIncluded:  Guaranteed spot on the boat\, rod\, reel\, tackle\, and squid for bait. \nNot included:  Parking (paid parking available across the street from the pier)\, fish cleaning services (table is available to clean your own catch)\, food and drinks (available for purchase on the boat)\, gratuities for deck hands (optional).  Cash tips for the deck hands at the end of the day are encouraged.  Approx. $20/person is reasonable as those guys do an awesome job of tending to every fisherman’s needs with tackle\, hangups\, breakoffs\, and handling your catch and maintaining your stringer. \nRules: \n\nNo perfect people allowed.
