Gimber's Shallow Water Fishing Captain Gerry Gimber |
| I have over 30 years experience fishing the marshes and bays from Galveston to Port O’Connor. My passion is sight fishing redfish, trout and sheepshead on the flats with fly and light tackle. However, we won’t pass up opportunistic chances at interesting situations that appear, such as mudding redfish, working birds, fish slicks, etc. We’ll take what the conditions give us. In my opinion, sight fishing is the most exciting form of fishing. It’s a natural evolution for experienced fishermen to graduate to the next level of fishing skill, excitement, and a memorable sense of accomplishment. Beginners have a blast as well. As I write this I am remembering the fishermen that caught their first sight cast redfish off the front of my boat. If I can remember them, think of the memories they have! Professional photographers are welcome as well. I’m well trained at taking commands from finicky photographers to get the boat in position to get the light and background just right for that perfect picture. Fish, birds, crabs, coyotes, hogs, weather images – you name it, the marsh teems with awesome wildlife shots when you look for it. I provide all the high quality fishing tackle,
but bring your own if you like. If you want, I can help with casting
instruction, lure presentation, knot tying, and everything you need
to know to be successful in the future. My goal obviously is for
you to catch fish, but at the same time learn some things and have
a great time on the water.
Make sure you bring some good polarized glasses; copper color seems to give the best contrast in our bays. I can provide non prescription polarized glasses if you don’t have them; I carry several types, some that fit over prescription glasses. Wear a good hat and comfortable light colored shoes. Be prepared to enjoy a day of being up close and personal with the wide variety of wildlife the bay systems have to offer. |
