We were fortunate to go with friends, so I can't recommend a guide service. Sounds like BBS has a solid option. I'm not well versed in flounder migration, but I think October is probably the best month to go. Gigging isn't permitted in November and the limit is 2 from December 1-14.

Any experts have more input?

Any time you're in Galveston, you can go park out by the end of 8-mile road and just wade in heading East (shoreline to the right) with a powerful flashlight or actual flounder light to illuminate the bottom. That entire shoreline stays pretty shallow for a long ways and there are a lot of creeks that cut in you can follow. Don't get discouraged if you don't see fish right away. Many times I've walked a couple miles without seeing a flounder only to pick up several in a very short period on the way back.

Can also kayak straight out to the reefs and islands and often times they will hold fish.

I looked him up and that looks like a blast. I think I'm going to book him and take the boy down for some of that action.

Looks awesome.
My dad and I have recently started going together and it’s a blast. I put together a little video but it isn’t nearly as entertaining as this.
