J&H Surf Charters
Galveston · Texas
Concept rendering · Season One preview
The Way We Fish
J&H sets a fully equipped base camp on the Texas surf, deploys bait beyond the breakers by drone, lights the beach for night fishing, and returns every shark to the Gulf. Season One opens March 2027.
Chairs, shade, rods, water, lighting and safety equipment are ready before lines go out.
A drone carries the bait beyond the breakers while your guides explain the rig and the surf.
Your crew gets hands-on instruction, with safety and conservation directing every decision.
Every shark returns to the Gulf, and your Anglers Adventure Guide records what you learned.
The Trips
Every charter runs from the sand at Crystal Beach, High Island, Surfside, or San Luis Pass — whichever location best fits the conditions that day. Standard groups are approximately five to six guests. Larger crews receive custom pricing.

Entry No. 01
The gentlest way in. We set camp before golden hour — canopy up, chairs out, rods rigged and waiting. Kids can learn their first cast while the Gulf turns orange, with a guide close by and the pace shaped around your family.

Entry No. 02
When the sun drops, we light the beach, send bait beyond the breakers by drone, and settle in for the Gulf's night shift. Dark water, bright lanterns, and guides working every rig while your crew learns how a beach expedition changes after sunset.

Entry No. 03
Eight hours focused on shark fishing from the sand. Bigger baits, heavier Penn gear, and drone deployment beyond the breakers give your crew a dedicated window to learn the water. If a shark takes the bait, the fight, handling, and release all happen with your guides beside you.

Entry No. 04
Our flagship expedition. Fire on the beach at dusk, midnight bait runs, the still hours when the stars do the talking, then dawn breaking over the surf. And Henri's standing rule applies: "If the morning bite turns on… we stay."
Active-duty military, veterans, law enforcement, fire, and EMS. Thank you. It would be our honor to host your crew on the sand.
Our Story
J&H is four partners and one family — Henri and Erica Boyce, Jeff, and Ashley — building the kind of beach charter they'd want for their own families: safety first, patient teaching, and respect for the Gulf from setup through release.
Henri leads the operation. Erica leads reservations and guest coordination. Jeff leads fishing operations and safety, including briefings, first aid, satellite communication, and condition checks. Ashley leads marketing and content so each trip's story can live beyond the beach.
We fish strict catch-and-release on every shark, we teach conservation with every fight, and we hold ourselves to a simple creed on every trip: leave every beach cleaner than we found it. We're not chasing trophies for the wall. We're building a legacy through adventure — yours and ours.
What's Included
J&H supplies the fishing and camp equipment below, packed and ready before lines go out. Your crew brings sunscreen, weather-ready clothing, wet-friendly footwear, and the snacks you prefer.
The Signature Keepsake
A photo captures the moment. The Anglers Adventure Guide helps you use what you learned afterward. Before you leave the sand, your guides assemble a personal record of your trip: the conditions you fished, the techniques you learned, and the species you encountered and released.

Fair Questions
Yes — with the same rules we hold our own family to. All ages are welcome with a responsible adult, and children stay supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. You're fishing from the sand, not a boat, and every trip starts with a full safety briefing before a single line goes out.
Jeff leads fishing operations and safety planning: first aid and emergency equipment on the beach, satellite communication when cell service drops, and guides handling every shark. Kids get the age-appropriate parts of the experience; the guides handle the risk.
We make every weather call — forecast, tides, wind, and surf — and we make them conservatively. If conditions aren't safe to operate, you can reschedule your trip. Simple as that.
Your deposit stays non-refundable if you decline the reschedule, but we'll always work to find you a date that fits. We'd rather move a trip than run a bad one.
An honest answer: sharks are wild animals in a wild Gulf, and nobody who guarantees a fish is telling you the truth. What we can promise is that your guides work the entire trip — reading the water, moving baits, adjusting rigs — and that you go home knowing more about surf fishing than when you arrived.
Every guest leaves with their Anglers Adventure Guide either way: the techniques, the conditions, the education. The fish are the reward. The knowledge is the product.
A 20% non-refundable deposit reserves your date. Final payment instructions will be provided when booking opens. If J&H determines the weather is unsafe, you may reschedule and the deposit carries over to the new date.
Booking opens January 2027 for the March–October season. The priority list below gets first pick.
Not much — the manifest above is on us: rods, tackle, bait, chairs, shade, water, lighting, and safety gear. Bring sunscreen, a layer for after dark (Gulf nights cool off), footwear that can get wet, and any snacks your crew runs on. If you're joining a night or dusk-to-dawn trip, a warm hat earns its keep.
A standard charter is one family — around five to six guests — which keeps the instruction personal and the beach uncrowded. Bringing a bigger crew? We arrange custom pricing with discounted group rates. Mention your group size when you join the list and Erica will sort the details.
