6/7/23 - Half Day Trip with Justin Albert
5 Hour Trip – Bay (AM) on June 7, 20233 adults

This was one of our favorite fishing trip we have taken and Justin Albert was one of the main reasons. We wanted Big Redfish and my wife caught a 36" one and then for the rest of the trip, Justin tried many different areas to get one for myself and son. Justin took us all over the bay which is what you want in a guide. We did catch a variety of fish (flounder, sea trout, black drum, and reds). I would recommend Justin to anyone looking to have a great day on the waters. We look forward to next year to get back on the water.

Reported catch:
Flounder
Black Drum
Speckled Trout

Half day trip with Justin
Special 5 hour trip for Eric Montemayor on July 2, 20224 adults

Talk about a blast! We booked this trip extremely last minute and wasn’t expecting much. Justin is one of the most down to earth guys that is extremely nice and cool to hang out with! His boat is nice in a convenient. No one will try harder to put you on fish than Justin! I’ve been on a lot of guides, but justin is one of the most driven! He even turned the half day trip into about 8 hours. He’s not afraid to burn gas to get where he wants. If your wanting to have a blast and fish or learn about fishing. I highly recommend!!
