    Full day with Captain Jake!

    Full Day Trip on March 31, 2021 • 3 adults

    GREAT communication from the owner of the boat Knotty Cowgirl with a GREAT Captain! We had a full day on the water with Captain Jake. He is very knowledgeable about the area! Captain knew where to go to put us on some fish right away. He worked hard to make sure we had a great time! He helped me battle a bull shark so we could get the thrill of a big catch! We definitely recommend booking with Cowboy Cowgirl Sportfishing! Thank you Captain Jake!

    Fishing with Michelle

    Half Day Trip on April 10, 2021 • 4 adults

    Really windy day made conditions less than ideal. Capt got us out to some spots that were as calm as could be, didn't have much luck w fishing but wasn't for lack of effort on his part. Overall...was a fun day out on the boat.

    Half Day Trip on July 26, 2020 • 5 adults • 3 children

    I would highly recommend these guys. They genuinely cared about our experience and worked hard to make sure we had a great time. We had 5 in our group, 4 of which were first timers. They were patient and right there with whatever we needed. At the end of the day, when everyone looks forward to doing it again you know you made great memories. Great job!

    Fishing with Michelle

    Half Day Trip on August 11, 2021 • 2 adults

    If you are into a very expensive boat ride this trip is for you. Went out with no live bait or frozen bait. Strictly trolled with the captains self made fancy baits. Not one nibble in 4 hours trolling the greatest fishing spot in the Gulf of Mexico
