    Can't be beat!!

    2 Hour Trip – Beginner / Family - 3:30 PM on July 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Zach was phenomenal! He was fantastic with our 6 ad 11 year old. He took us to see dolphins and we were so much closer than the dolphin tours. He kept us baited up and knew so much about each fish we caught. We caught a bunch of trout that he cleaned for us at the dock. We will absolutely come see him again next year!

I learned how to fish predominantly from my grandfather and my uncle here in Galveston Bay. Then, I continued to learn from them on Lake Livingston. I have always had a great love for fishing and the outdoors. On my father's side of the family, I am from 19 generations of commercial fishermen originating from the Isle of Vis in Croatia. My father passed when I was very young and without his influence, I studied graphic design and business. Eventually found my way on my own back to fishing. For the past 8 years I have never been happier than being a charter fishing guide. I really enjoy learning more each day and teaching others techniques, and I love spending time working with children on their fishing techniques and help to build their character.
