FULL DAY - BAY & JETTY AFTERNOON on July 17, 2023
We had a great time with Brady on our six hour fishing trip. Brady gave a valiant effort to put us in the places where we would catch fish. We saw dolphins and a small shark. Caught a few catfish and tossed them back. Being our first time to Galveston, he even patiently guided us around a few of the local scenes and sites, which we greatly appreciated the history side of the trip. Definitely planning to come back to Galveston for more fishing opportunities in the future. Thanks again, Brady!

FULL DAY - BAY & JETTY AFTERNOON on June 30, 2023
Took my wife and 3 teenagers on the 6 hour bay/jetty trip. Overall a great experience. There were just a few hiccups, but not enough to ruin our time at all. Our captain (and first mate) was not the captain named in the company description, but they were helpful, knowledgeable, polite and kind. The bathroom on the boat that was listed in description was really not a bathroom, but the crew found a nearby marina for a quick bathroom break when needed. There were some minor equipment issues, but the crew adapted, overcame and no one was ever without a line in the water. While we didn’t catch as many keepers as we’d hoped, there was enough action to make it worthwhile. No regrets. Great memories.

SHARK TRIP - HALF DAY AFTERNOON on August 20, 2023
We decided to take this trip with next to no experience fishing. Brady was patient and fun the entire time and all of us were able to reel in sharks. They were not ones that we could keep but 5 different fights on a 4 hour trip made for an incredibly entertaining afternoon. Brady was able to put us in a spot that we were almost constantly getting action and he helped through each step. We had enough bites that we stayed glued to the action and it kept the heat off of our minds.

BAY & JETTY - HALF DAY AFTERNOON on August 19, 2023
Brady was awesome! He was our guide and when we told him we wanted to go shark fishing he knew the exact spot to take us to. We stopped off to fish for bait so we could use fresh live fish for the shark fishing, and we ended up hooking 3 total. 2 large sharks and one small. Overall it was a fun and memorable experience and a heck of a way for my son and I to celebrate our birthdays!
