    Another great fishing trip with Captain Doug!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Doug is awesome! His catamaran fishing boat is one of the smoothest vessels I have ever fished off of! Captain Doug goes out of his way to put you onto fish! The next time we are back, we will definitely book with him again! Thank you Captain Doug for taking care of my family!

    Captain Doug was a great guy.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 3, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Doug was a nice guy. We had a good time. we snagged a few hardheads, kept a few gaft tops, caught a huge sting ray and gar that we released. We wished we could have all caught the big one, but it just was our day for that this time.

    Good day fishing

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 26, 2026 • 5 adults

    Was a good day on the water. We had plenty of bites and misses and we also caught a few sail cats, saw some dolphins and a alligator gar up by the surface. Captain Doug is a great guy and works hard for you.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 15, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 children

    This was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. The captain was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond for us and we are forever grateful. We started the charter out with an amazing ride out to our fishing spot, this included 5+ dolphins following our boat and putting on a show. Once we got to the first spot, the captain was so kind and patient with my son who is 5, along with everyone else. He was so willing to jump in and do whatever we needed help with. Overall, this trip was amazing, we caught 10+ fish and my youngest even got to bring in a shark! Even if we didn’t catch any fish, I would have still booked him 100 times over. He is so kind and knowledge and I would recommend this charter to anyone.

    Great Experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 5, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Great trip. We were catching fish minutes after we departed. Sailcat, shark, catfish, gar, even caught a 🦀 crab. Captain was very knowledgeable of the bay area, very in control of the vessell. We even brought our 4 year old and he had cookies for her. You won't be disappointed. Thank you sir! We had a blast!!

    Best fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 2024 • 6 adults

    We were blessed with a wonderful trip! Doug was the best! He spent every minute making sure we were catching fish, and having a good time. Everyone in my family caught fish, including sharks! Doug even found some dolphin and took the time to allow them to swim right up to the boat with us! We had a great time, and appreciate the experience with Doug. We would recommend this trip to anyone, and look forward to our next adventure with Doug!

    4 hour in-shore fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 29, 2023 • 3 adults

    Captain Doug was so great! There was only 3 in our party. I told Captain Doug earlier that this trip was a special one in that I had just lost my brother in February and his son would be on this trip with us. My brother and his son were big fresh water fisherman before his passing. The captain truly personalized this trip for our nephew. Gave him extra rods and extra attention. Even related his own experience with his dad which touched our hearts. With that said, Captain Doug has so much knowledge of the area and got us to the fish and we had a great day even though it was blazing hot!!!!! Thank you Doug. We had such a memorable and wonderful trip!!!!
