Captain Steve
5 Hour Morning Bay Fishing Trip on March 13, 20264 adults
Our guide Captain Steve was excellent. Hes very knowledgeable and personable. His equipment was all in great shape. He made sure my wife and kids were comfortable, He worked with them on casting. great with kids. Fishing was a little slow due to bad weather the previous day but he didnt give up. He took us to 10 different spots making sure we had the best experience possible. I would highly recommend him and hope to go out with him again sometime. His boat was very spacious and well… it kicked a**. Thanks again Captain Steve for giving us a great experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Morning on the Water with Captain Steve!
2 Person Bay Fishing Trip (AM) on July 29, 20254 adults
Captain Steve is the real deal! From the moment we hit the water, he had us on the trout. We reached our limit of speckled trout by 9:30 AM, and the action was nonstop. He clearly knows the waters around South Padre like the back of his hand. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-outfitted. Steve was friendly, professional, and made the entire experience fun and stress-free. He was great with everyone on board, patient, helpful, and always working to keep us on fish. If you’re booking a trip through Fishbooker, stop scrolling and book Captain Steve and you won’t regret it. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!

Amazing Last Minute Fishing Trip at SPI- Give this Captain a Medal!
2 Person Bay Fishing Trip (AM) on May 9, 20252 adults
I was looking for a last minute, spur-of-the moment fishing trip in South Padre Island. I've used other guides before but Captain Steve gets the gold medal. I saw that he was available, read a few reviews on him (thank you past clients, you were spot on), messaged him from the App, and he replied within a few minutes. Within 15 minutes we had the trip planned, paid for, and instructions ready on where to meet him the next morning. Like clockwork, Captain Steve was there at the boat launch, boat in the water, ready to go. From the beginning Steve was extremely informative and talkative about conditions, what to expect, and what we hoped to accomplish. Within 30 minutes we were out at his first spots drifting and fishing. Had some good trout with a few keepers and one larger 21" trout we couldn't keep. Moved spots and Captain Steve had us on some big Reds. Even pulled in a nice 28.5" Red, then a 26.5 Red, then a 21" Red. I know that doesn't happen all the time, but both of us were excited and had a great time. After we returned to the launch he even cleaned and filleted all the fish for me to take home. Fish Tacos for everyone! As a testament to Captain Steve's services, I have a luxury condo in SPI that I rent and I don't refer anyone to my clients unless I've tried and tested them first. Captain Steve has made it on my list as a highly recommended fishing guide to my clients. I will use him again in the near future. Thank You Captain Steve for a great morning fishing.

Awesome fishing trip especially with kids
2 Person Bay Fishing Trip (AM) on July 7, 20253 adults1 child
Went to meet the captain at 6:30. Great guy especially with the kiddo. My son is 2 years old but the captain made him feel involved as much as everyone else on the boat. The best part to was as soon as we got out to the first fishing location and started casting. We were catching trout within 5 mins of thowing our live bait in. This trip is a must to come back to for an amazing experience and family time. Thank you for all the help and teaching us first timers what we gotta do and use to get some nice catches on board. See ya next summer!
