    Great experience!!

    Special 10 hours trip for Nathaly Padilla on July 4, 2026 • 6 adults

    It was our first time fishing, and Nathan gave us an incredible experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. We caught plenty of red snapper, and his service was 10/10 from start to finish. Thank you for making our first fishing trip so memorable!

    Amazing trip and guide!!

    4 Hr – Galveston Bay & Jetties on July 12, 2025 • 4 adults

    If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, Nathan Dill is the guy you need to book. From the moment me and my family met Nathan, his professionalism, expertise, and friendly personality set the tone for an incredible day on the water. He worked tirelessly to ensure my family and I not only had a great time but also learned a ton along the way. We maxed out on trout, and it was honestly one of the best fishing days we’ve ever had. Nathan's patience, knowledge of the waters, and ability to make the whole experience fun and educational made it all amazing. If you want a top-tier fishing guide who knows how to deliver, Nathan Dill is your guy…don’t hesitate to book him for your next trip!

    This is the one! Best fishing trip to book! You get way more than what you pay for here

    Half Day Trip – jetties / Bay (PM) on August 31, 2024 • 4 adults

    We didn’t stop catching fish the moment we stepped on the boat. Every spot he took us to seemed like a honey hole. Every time a line hit the water another line was reeling in a fish! He never stopped working and made every minute count. Then cleaned them up quick even though we were all exhausted by the time we got back. Everything you could want out of a fishing trip! Highly recommend this guy especially if it’s your first trip out, it was so comfortable and exhilarating! Didn’t have to do anything but show up and have a great time!

    OK Day

    4 Hr – Galveston Bay & Jetties on August 22, 2025 • 1 adult

    Started with weather issues but the Captain kept in touch and rescheduled for the afternoon. The overall trip itself was great. The bad thing was the trip was cut short due to weather. I realize that nothing can be done about the weather I can't help being bummed that it was short. I live in Colorado and I am an old fart so this may well be my last ocean trip.

    We had a great time with Nathan. He took us to several spots where we were able to catch speckled trout, a flounder, and a gafftop. He was very patient and worked great with my 13 years old son. We are already planning another trip with Nathan soon.

    The boys are hooked!

    4 Hr – Galveston Bay & Jetties on August 2, 2024 • 6 adults • 3 children

    Captain Nathan showed my family a great time where we learned so much too! My brother, 3 nephews, my son and myself went out for a half day trip and caught all variety of fish including a shark! Captain was amazing with the kiddos making sure they were always rigged up and catching fish. Before we even made back to the marina, the boys were already asking when we can go again!

    Birthday catch

    Half Day Trip – jetties / Bay (PM) on September 7, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Took the family for my son’s birthday and had a good experience! The waters were rough as there was a storm close to Galveston and we had to stay in the Bay Area but we still managed to catch a couple of reds, a black drum, speckled trouts and a small mangrove.
