5 Hour (AM) Bay Fishing Trip on July 7, 2025
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!

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.

It was a pleasure fishing with Captain Steven. My brother and I took our parents out on a fishing trip and all the conditions were right! The weather was great, the water not choppy, and the sun not too hot. All of that combined with Captain Steven's experience and knowledge of the area led us to a lot of fish. We were two fish short of our bag limit for the group but we caught a lot more that we couldn't keep. All in all I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good day fishing.

Special 5 hour trip for Vicki Widiker on February 15, 2025
We were supposed to go Thursday but captain reached out to say the weather was supposed to be awful, did we want to reschedule or cancel. Reschedule it was!! Went this morning and had a great time. 4 of us and we all caught fish. Captain Steve definitely knew the spots to try, moving us to new areas when things cooled down. Patient and helpful with a less experienced angler and had them catching fish as well. Definitely recommend!

Almost limited Steve was extremely helpful to my inexperience guests. He was patient and courteous. Also gave great recommendations for bringing our catch to the restaurant. I highly recommend his recommendation at Tom & Jerry’s
