    Great father/daughter trip!

    2 person trip on November 17, 2024 • 2 adults

    We had an awesome trip today on the water! We (My daughter & I) had the opportunity to fish with Brett for the afternoon! It was my Daughters first time on the water and she appreciated Brett’s guidance, patience and excitement when she caught her very first red fish! I myself caught the biggest trout I have ever seen. Brett had great hospitality and knowledge as well as enjoyable to be around. Looking forward to our next trip to the coast with the whole family! Thanks again Brett! -Jeremy

    Anniversary fishing trip

    2 person trip on July 2, 2022 • 2 adults

    Spent the day with Capt Brett and my Hubby Tim. Had a great time! It was our wedding anniversary trip and we had a very relaxing day. Capt Brett answered a lot of questions and we had a lot of good laughs! I even caught a stingray!! He was not happy( Capt Brett) and neither was the stingray so he was released to swim another day. Great guide, great time and happy to have gifted it to my Hubby Tim of 29 yrs! Thanks Capt Brett .... glad I didn't have to use the ladder!!

    Another successful fishing trip

    2 person trip on July 5, 2022 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had a great day with Captain Brett! Even though bait was scarce, he was very diligent about keeping us on fish. The keeper reds weren’t the only things we caught, in fact we caught a little bit of everything. One of greatest joys is teaching children, not only how to fish, but how to enjoy fishing. Thank you again Captain Brett for everything. See you soon 🤘🏼 Popper Down!

    It's a Keeper

    2 person trip on June 11, 2022 • 2 adults

    Captain Brett took us out for a day trip. I love getting a early start and that we did. Had a great time. He wasn’t afraid to try different locations. We caught many fish but nothing that we could keep. He was determined to have us catch some keepers. We are looking forward to the next time we are here to go fishing with Captain Brett again!

My wife grew up in Aransas Pass and we have lived in the area for the last 25 years of our 43 years together. My father n law was an avid fisherman and friends referred to him as The Kingfish. I learned as much as I could, not enough for a nickname, but enough to enjoy sharing a fun day on the water with folks who appreciate a fun day on the water. We want to catch fish but don't take ourselves so serious that it takes the fun out of it.
