Captain Marshall and First Mate Sam were great from the time we got to the peer till we we were driving away with a full cooler of fish. My wife, daughter and myself had a great first time deep sea fishing! Captian Marshall had us catching King Mackrel, Cobia, Red Snapper & Vermillion Snapper. Weather was great and we traveled out about 42 miles. We seen lots of dolpins and even a large sea turtle along our trip. Sam & Marshall both were very knowledgeable and accommodating to our experiences and comfort throughout the trip! I highly recommend booking a trip with Texas Deep Sea Fishing they are very professional and knowledgeable! We will book again and probably bring more family along! Great time & great fun! Thanks Again!
I’ve been on guided trips before so this isn’t new. What I noticed was how organized and clean the boat was. That makes a difference in how easy and safe it is to get around on it and for the crew to assist you. Second, these boats are never comfortable, usually a padded cooler to sit on at best and if you’re like me at 56, it wears you down being jarred across choppy waters. These guys have beanbags to sit on. I literally wasted at least 2 hours while my son fished, napping. I was tired to begin with but the actual amount of fish caught meant that for a couple hours, it seemed like every time I dropped the line in the water, I immediately caught one or two fish. As in immediately. No exaggeration. Of course due to slot limits and the law, we threw back 3 out of four fish landed, but I now have a blister on my palm and soreness in my back and shoulder from cranking the reel handle most of the day. We still ended up with a stupid amount of fish to bring home. I’d book these guys again.
Wow, can’t ask for a much better review than that. Our goal every day is to put you on fish to the extent that you need a break. Glad the fish cooperated and we were able to wear you out. Sorry about the blister and your shoulder. Hope to see you again soon!
this was a trip we have talked ahout before. we did the 8 hr trip!! our captain and 1st mate were awesome. they enertained us. they did so great helping us with the fishing. tried to make sure we got what fishes we wanted to catch. would defintely do this with this captain again!!! this is the best charter next time will use them again but will bring some little fans. but that isnt anything they could help with.
my son and I booked a 10 hour charter with Captain Marshall and his partner Sam. We could not be more happy super great folks put us on Fish that we weren’t expecting. Limited out a multiple species. The guys are professionals no doubt. I don’t know why anybody would want to book another charter. We will definitely be back.
Caught our limit in red snapper, lots of mahi, got into the kingfish, and topped it off with a hammerhead shark that we got to pet before releasing! Captain Marshall and deckhand Sam were great at taking care of our group, including the 8 and 13 year olds.
Thank you for the 5-star review! Not many people can say they’ve petted a hammerhead shark!
