FOR GALVESTON BAY ANGLERS & WEEKEND BOATERS
Know what, where and when they bite. Bring Galveston fishing spots, seasonal guidance and the day’s conditions together before you leave the dock.
One free morning? Make a game plan before you cast instead of wasting it hunting through apps or getting skunked without knowing where to start.
One-time payment. No automatic renewal.
For Galveston Bay anglers, weekend boaters and first-timers. A local guide—not a nationwide fishing app.
DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION
START WITH THE WATER YOU KNOW
Explore named reefs, shoals, bay fishing holes and nearby offshore locations. Choose your month and target fish, then see the locations with matching guidance.
New to the bay or taking the family? Start with ten named fishing spots, then check the conditions and ramp information. Head out feeling prepared.
From Clear Lake and Trinity Bay to East Bay, West Bay and the Christmas Bay area, get a closer look at the places around your next trip.
GPS guidance is a straight line to a waypoint, not a safe boating route. Use current marine navigation charts.
LOOK AT THE WHOLE PICTURE
Pull up the tools you need in one place. Check the latest available readings and forecasts, then make your own call for the day.
Weather, wind, tides, sunrise and sunset, wave height and period, radar, pressure and modeled salinity. A daily fishing outlook brings several factors together.
The outlook is an experimental planning index. Readings and models may represent a nearby station rather than your exact spot.
Explore moon phases and a monthly solunar calendar, with plain-language explanations of major and minor fishing periods.
Solunar windows are a planning reference; they do not guarantee a bite.
Build a game plan for familiar honey holes or new spots with dated fishing reports, bait guidance, fish identification photos and regulation references. See the source and location coverage behind report observations.

Here’s how the tools fit into a day on Galveston Bay.

TODAY ON THE BAY
Take a look at Today’s Fishing Outlook before you load the boat. Sunrise, sunset and a conditions index give you a quick starting point for your day.
Refresh the outlook as your plans change to see how the latest available factors line up. Open the details to see what went into the rating.
A planning aid, not a promise of a bite. Readings may come from a nearby station.
KNOW THE WEATHER BEFORE YOU GO
Wind picking up? Wondering about the waves? Bring the weather tools together before you head out, and check them again while you’re on the water.
Open weather, waves, radar, NOAA radio, moon times, salinity and barometric pressure from one place. Choose a fishing spot for its local reference information.
Observations and forecasts have their own update times and location coverage.
WTH DID I CATCH?!
A fish on the line and a question in your head? Browse color photos and identifying features to help work out what you caught.
Keep species descriptions and regulation references close, including size and bag-limit information, before deciding what goes in the cooler.
Check current official rules and confirm the species before keeping a fish.
BAIT. FUEL. ICE. A PLACE TO LAUNCH.
Need live bait, a fuel stop or a nearby ramp? Look through marina and launch listings to see amenities, contact details and where a facility sits on the chart.
The Blue Marlin example shows listed amenities, contact details and source information together, so you know what to check before stopping in.
Call ahead to confirm access, hours and supplies. A chart position is not a verified entrance or a safe route.
THE BEST PART COMES AFTER THE CAST
Add your photo, name and fishing location. Browse everyone’s catches or filter the gallery by spot.
Log your bait, notes and available conditions at a chart location or a private GPS spot. Opt into emails when selected conditions line up again.
Find NOAA weather radio, marina information and emergency or towing contacts while planning your time on the bay.
WHY I BUILT IT
“I wanted everything I kept looking for before a fishing trip in one place.”
I’m Mike, and I built Galveston Fishing Bible out of my own love of fishing these waters. Planning a day on the bay meant piecing together charts, fishing reports, weather and ideas about what to catch.
I set out to make that easier: a local fishing companion that brings useful information together, helps you explore the bay and gives anglers a place to share their catches and knowledge.

I have looked everywhere for an app like this! So many people come here to fish on vacation and don’t know where to go! This is a game changer!
Seriously? Only $5.00 for the year? Fishbrain charges more than that a month for less! This is great!
Dude this site rocks! I will be using this for my charters from now on! Thanks!
This site has everything you need and more to find the fish! Great concept and great APP!
I can't tell you how many times I have gone out fishing with no idea where to go, this takes all the guess work out of it! Amazing!
I would pay this per month for what you get! Five bucks is a deal!

BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT
No. Open gfishbible.com in your phone’s browser. You can also add it to your home screen for easy access. You’ll need an internet connection for current conditions and online features.
The chart covers the Galveston Bay area, including Clear Lake, Trinity Bay, East Bay, West Bay, the Christmas Bay area and nearby offshore waters within the app’s approximately 30-mile offshore window. Check the chart for the exact coverage of your planned trip.
No. Seasonal guidance, reports and condition tools help you plan, but weather, bait movement and fish behavior change. Historical reports retain their dates; a lack of reports does not mean fish are absent.
No. The app’s chart and straight-line GPS guidance are fishing references, not marine navigation tools. The line does not avoid reefs, shoals, land, traffic or other hazards.
No. The $5 purchase provides 12 months of access with no automatic renewal.
Private GPS locations saved with Save This Bite stay with your account. Catch Gallery photos and the fishing locations you choose to share there are visible to other app members.
