Day 3 - Beautiful sunrise for our morning trip. Captain Hilary planned a Walk & Wade and it did not disappoint. Captain gave instructions to make sure we were safe and turned us loose. My brother got into Speckled Trout right away and so did my niece. My niece learned a new technique and waded for the first time. She learned seversl new skills today such as landing and unhooking fish on her own without a net, while doubling her casting distance. Between us we caught over two dozen Specks, and my niece caught the only Redfish of the day. She said it was her favorite method of fishing so far on the trip and already wants to do another Walk & Wade.
Awesome job today
From start to finish, this experience was memorable, fun, and incredibly well run. Captain Steve was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. My 7 year old son hasn’t stopped talking about the adventure and was thrilled with everything they saw and the amount of fish they caught. What really stood out was how family friendly the trip was while still being exciting and engaging. You can tell Captain Steve genuinely cares about creating a great experience for his guests. If you’re looking for a fun outing near South Padre that both adults and kids will love, this is it. We highly recommend it and would absolutely book again!
Thank You and hope you come again
Day 2 - Targeted Drum in deeper water using a different technique. Very fun day but a tough bite. Captain Hilary put us on the fish and my brother landed his first Redfish ever right away and what a nice fish. Got another one on but didn’t get it to the boat. Then the bite slowed down. The Captain kept us on the Drum, and persistence paid off. My niece won her battle against a nice Black Drum.
thank you again let’s do day three some weight fishing
Big Thanks to Captain Steve. He helped make a memorable fishing trip for my family. He made both my daughters feel very comfortable the whole trip, and gave them great advice on casting. We used live bait and lures throughout the trip leading to a successful fishing trip. He took us to multiple fishing spots as the bite changed. We caught 7 trout and 1 redfish in the slot, and many more outside the allowable slot size. My daughter even caught an oversized 25" trout. Thanks for memories Captain!!
thank you for the trip and allowing myself to make memories for you
I would highly recommend booking Captain Steve. He was helpful and very knowledgeable. He had a nice and clean boat and packed ice cold drinks for us. First spot we stopped at was slow so he moved us to a second spot and we were able to catch our limit in two hours. He didn’t cut our time short and let us keep fishing our full 3 hours. He even had good recommendation on where to take our fish that night for dinner. I would book with him again next time we’re in town.
thank you for the kind words
