Galveston Fishing Pier is one of the more popular fishing destinations on the island. Here, anglers can catch a variety of fish such as the red snapper, redfish, blacktip shark, etc. Keep in mind it is $10 to fish, but with the ecstatic views and variety of fish to catch, the price is well worth it. What makes this site even better is that it is connected to a restaurant: Jimmy’s on the Pier. So, after a grueling day or railing in fish, you could settle down with some of the amazing seafood that the restaurant provides. If its your first time here, I would recommend trying their Crayfish Caso & a bowl of Clam chowder. Not to mention, their remoulade sauce goes great with just about everything! So, if you’re looking for a place to fish and have a marvelous meal after, the Galveston Fishing Pier is the place to be.
