About Us
Glen Allen Goff came to Galveston, Texas for a carpentry repair job on Payco Marine after Hurricane Alicia. He was semi-adopted by the owner, Herschel Payne, and Glen stayed on to learn the marina and bait business. He eventually bought Galveston Bait and Tackle, which he rebuilt three times in the wake of storms. Glen always said fishermen and fisherwomen were the most interesting collection of people in the world, and
among the best people, he’d ever known. Glen never met a stranger, no matter their gender, their ethnicity, their age, their ability, their status before the law, or their station in life. If he is to be remembered for any one thing, it will be his gift of promiscuous friendship.
Today Galveston Bait & Tackle is operated by Pam Goff, wife of Glen Goff, her partners Billy Howell, and JB Melina our shrimper who has been fishing shrimp for years, and we are very proud to have him.
