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

Captain went above and beyond to get us some fish, but do to the storms in the area that day the fish just was not having it. Everything else was great.

Thanks David, we fought hard. Lightening and rain sure make it challenging. We had fun and more importantly, stayed safe. Looking forward to next time.

My son and I went bay fishing with Captain Brett yesterday. I think I caught every species of fish in the bay. We’ll be returning in the fall for more fishing. Thank you Captain!

My wife grew up in Aransas Pass and we have lived in the area for the last 22 years of our 39 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.
