Mark and Brandy were such amazing people to spend a few hours with exploring and fishing around Padre! From the start, registration and the pretrip instructions were clear, straightforward, and made everything easy. Once we were out on the water, it was so much fun exploring different parts of the bay and their knowledge of where to find fish really showed. A few people in our group were complete beginners, Mark and Brandy were patient, encouraging, and great teachers. Everyone was catching fish in no time thanks to their guidance. We’re so grateful for such a fun experience with our family, and it made it even better to enjoy the fresh, cleaned fish for dinner that night. We would absolutely book with them again!
we reaply appreciate your business
Nathan took us out, and I believe he was the owner’s son. He was very personable and made sure we were well taken care of. Our group of six booked for three hours, and while the travel time cut fishing down to about 2.5 hours, Nathan generously gave us a little extra time on the water. We landed 8 fish and hooked a few more that got away. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to include fish cleaning in the package—even at a slightly higher price. Many other guides offer this, and as a customer it’s a nice touch that makes the experience feel complete. The one real downside had nothing to do with the charter but with the restaurant recommended to cook our catch. Unfortunately, the apps were terrible, and while the fish dishes looked good, the taste was disappointing—we left about 75% of our food behind. My wife and I own a successful bar & grill and eat out daily, so we know good food, and that place just missed the mark. I’d recommend steering future customers elsewhere. All in all, it was a fun trip with trout being the catch of the day—no black drum or reds this time around. Nathan was great, and with just a few tweaks, the experience would be top-notch
Captain Arnold did a great job with our group. most guys hadn’t fished before and we were a big group for the boat (6 adults). he made sure we caught some fish and we did! We caught enough white drum to feed our group of 17 at the house! it was delicious too! what an amazing experience!
it was our pleasure having you all for the day
