Jose is one of the best guides I have been with. we asked him to help put our grandson on a shark and he did that plus 2 stingrays, one of which was over 200 pound, as well as other fish after that. He was great with our grandson as well as us. Very friendly and professional.

I've been fishing in Galveston since 2002. Very familiar with the area and love to fish. It's not just a job, I love being out there. Also, I am fluent in Spanish.
